ANAHEIM, Calif., July 10 (UPI) -- Torii Hunter smashed two homers, driving in five runs Saturday in the Los Angeles Angels' 9-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.

Mark Trumbo connected for a solo blast and Vernon contributed a run-scoring single as the Angels clinched their four-game series against the Mariners.

Mariners starter Michael Pineda (8-6) was rocked for seven runs on six hits before being yanked after five frames.
Miguel Olivo drove in runs with a fourth-inning double and fifth-inning single for Seattle.
