ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Cliff Pennington isnt known for his big hits. In a game that had plenty of key ones for both teams, it was the utility infielder who came up with the biggest.Pennington hit a go-ahead triple in the eighth inning, Albert Pujols slugged his 22nd home run and the Los Angeles Angels came back twice to beat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 on Tuesday night and end an 11-game losing streak.With two outs in the eighth, Jefry Marte turned on a 97 mph fastball from Arquimedes Caminero (2-3) and drove it into the stands to tie the game at 6-6. Jett Bandy kept the inning alive with a single, and Pennington pulled a line drive into the corner for just his second triple since 2014 to score Bandy easily.It felt really good, Pennington said. It hadnt been a great night up until that point. It was nice to get the big hitPennington had been hitless in his three prior at-bats and made a costly error that resulted in a run in the seventh inning. But his clutch hit and a double play in the ninth helped erase the misplay from his memory.Were tied up, so to get the hit and score a run was (big), Pennington said. But the double play was huge.Fernando Salas pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save, and Brett Oberholtzer (3-2) earned the win with a scoreless eighth.It was a slow-paced game but we felt like we were in control for most of it, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Caminero has been awesome since hes been here and somehow he gets through Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. I dont think he let up or anything but give Marte credit, he turned around a 97-98 mph fastball and then it got away from us. Tough loss, weve been playing very good baseball.The Angels 11-game streak tied a franchise worst and was the longest such streak in 17 years.Its good to see these guys kind of exhale a little bit, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Its obviously nice to get a win, but we need to continue to get better and keep moving forward.The Mariners went ahead in the seventh when reliever J.C. Ramirez threw two wild pitches and overthrew first base on a routine groundout.An error by Pennington put Robinson Cano on base and Ramirez then walked Nelson Cruz. With Kyle Seager batting, Ramirez threw his wild pitches, allowing Cano to come home and tie the game and Cruz to reach third. Cruz scored when Ramirez threw Mike Zuninos grounder past Marte at first base.J.C. has that power stuff that you want to match up against guys, Scioscia said. We got a little sloppy and started off with an error but you still have confidence that hes going to get out of the inning. And he did that, but unfortunately he gave up a lead.Down 4-1 in the sixth, Ariel Miranda, who started in place of the injured James Paxton, walked Kole Calhoun and Trout before being relieved by Nick Vincent. Vincent left a 1-2 fastball up for Pujols, who hit it well over the wall in left-center.Pujols, baseballs active home run leader with 582, is now one shy of tying former teammate Mark McGwire for 10th on the career list.Vincent, who played college baseball at nearby Long Beach State, gave up a home run to Bandy two batters later that put the Angels up 5-4.Our bullpen has been outstanding, Servais said. But they just didnt quite it done tonight.The Mariners scored three runs in the second inning to go up 4-1.

BALTIMORE -- The Toronto Blue Jays took a big step toward taking more command of the American League East on Monday night with a win over the Baltimore Orioles. Now the Jays will try and do a little more Tuesday.Toronto (75-56, a season-best 19 games above .500) holds a two-game lead over Boston and a four-game edge against Baltimore (71-60). The Jays and Orioles meet again in the middle game of the three-game series, and Toronto cant leave town any worse than two games ahead of Baltimore.You try to win every game from here on out, Toronto manager John Gibbons said after Mondays win. We always have battles with these guys. Any time you get that first game of the series, you always feel that much better.Toronto also gets a favorable pitching matcup Tuesday, sending out J.A. Happ (17-4, 3.19 ERA) against Ubaldo Jimenez (5-11, 6.62). Happ saw his 11-game winning streak end in his last outing, a 6-3 loss to the Angels on Aug. 25.Happ gave up four runs and six hits in five innings in the loss.

Setup man Darren ODay is on the disabled list for the second time this year (rotator cuff strain), and offensive spark-plug Adam Jones now has not played since Friday night because of a hamstring strain.The Orioles made the playoffs in 2012 and 2014 but missed out last year while Toronto won the division before losing to the World Series champion Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship Series. Baltimore remains in line at least for a shot at the wild-card game but is slipping back in the division race.Much of the final months games will be played inside the competitive American League East as the Jays are fighting the Orioles and Boston for the division title and/or a wild-card berth.Gibbons likes the schedule working out this way. He thinks its probably what tells the true story.Thats (how) it ought to be, Gibbons said. ' ' '
