KEY MOMENT: Kyle Seager and Logan Morrison, who each hit left-handed, opened the 12th inning with doubles against left-hander Joe Thatcher to end a 1-1 tie and end at 15 a streak of consecutive scoreless innings by Angels relievers. Endy Chavez's bunt single and Justin Smoak's run-scoring infield single added a run that enabled the Mariners to absorb David Freese's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 12th and end the Angels' winning streak at six games.
AT THE PLATE: Dustin Ackley broke up Garrett Richards' perfect game with a leadoff double to left-center field in the sixth and scored on Jesus Sucre's single for a 1-0 Seattle lead. Albert Pujols sparked a tying rally in the seventh when he fouled off five two-strike pitches and drew an 11-pitch walk. Josh Hamilton walked and Howie Kendrick hit an infield single. Shortstop Brad Miller made a diving stop, but his throw bounced past first base for an error that allowed Pujols to score.
ON THE MOUND: Seattle's Felix Hernandez tied an American League record with his 12th consecutive start in which he threw seven innings or more and gave up two runs or less. Richards is 7-0 with a 1.25 earned-run average in his last nine starts.
IN THE FIELD: Efren Navarro, a first baseman who started in left field Saturday, fielded James Jones' eighth-inning single near the line, spun and fired a strike to second to nail the Seattle speedster, who was trying to stretch it into a double.
LATE-NIGHT DRAMA: Navarro hit two-out single to center field for the first walk-off hit of his career late Friday night, lifting the Angels, 3-2, over Seatle in 16 innings. Mike Trout, who doubled with one out, scored the winning run to end the 5-hour 14-minute game, the 21st in club history of 16 innings or more. Hector Santiago threw 22/3 innings for the win.
ROSTER MOVE: The combination of C.J. Cron's slump, Erick Aybar's groin injury, the effectiveness of reliever Corey Rasmus and some clutch hitting by Navarro resulted in Cron being sent to triple A to clear room for new closer Huston Street. Cron hit .238 with a .274 on-base percentage in his last 23 games. "They said they needed an extra pitcher and with Aybar hurt, they needed an extra middle infielder," Cron said. "But at the same time, I'm getting sent down for a reason. I have to get better."
EXTRA BASES: Aybar sat out Saturday because of a sore right groin, but Manager Mike Scioscia said it's not significant enough to send the shortstop to the disabled list Santiago is on track to start Tuesday despite throwing 38 pitches in relief Friday Triple-A utility infielder Ian Stewart was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Street.
UP NEXT: Left-hander Tyler Skaggs (5-5, 4.50 ERA) will oppose Seattle right-hander Chris Young (8-6, 3.15) at Angel Stadium on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. On the air: TV: FS West. Radio: 830.
