Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Mark Trumbo drove in three runs with a homer and a double Monday and the Los Angeles Angels tightened their divisional race with a 7-3 win over Seattle.
Trumbo's two-run blast in the first inning followed Torii Hunter's RBI triple and handed the Angels a quick 3-1 lead.
The Los Angeles first baseman then capped a three-run third with a run-scoring double to break the game open and propel the Angels to their third straight win.
Coupled with Texas' loss to Tampa Bay Monday, the second-place Angels pulled to within 2 1/2 games of the American League West-leading Rangers.
Dan Haren (14-8) earned the victory despite yielding 10 hits over six innings. He limited the Mariners to three runs while walking none and fanning three.
Seattle's Anthony Vasquez (1-2) surrendered seven runs (six earned) on six hits over 5 2/3 frames.
Brendon Ryan socked a solo homer for the Mariners, who dropped the first of a three-game series.
