SEATTLE -- Brett Oberholtzer was handed a four-run lead before he even took the mound Friday night for the Los Angeles Angels.It disappeared pretty quickly.Oberholtzer was pulled without getting an out in the second inning, part of a nine-run outburst that sent the Seattle Mariners to an 11-8 victory.Obviously, its not the start we were looking for or he was looking for, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Los Angeles mounted a ninth-inning rally but fell short.Mike Trout hit a three-run homer his first time up and Jefry Marte added a solo shot in the first for the Angels, giving Oberholtzer (1-1) a 4-0 advantage.But he walked the first batter he faced and gave up Guillermo Heredias RBI double in the first, then allowed two singles and walked two batters in the second, ending his night.I walked the leadoff hitter and it just snowballed from there, Oberholtzer said. I thought I was making pretty quality pitches, but just going the wrong way.Jhoulys Chacin came on with the bases loaded and promptly walked in a run. The first out of the inning came when Heredia grounded into a fielders choice with the bases loaded, driving in a run. Seattle got a second run on the play on second baseman Gregorio Petits throwing error, giving the Mariners a 5-4 lead.The scoring didnt end there. Five runs in the inning came with two outs, and the bottom of Seattles order did the most damage -- the last four hitters in the lineup all reached base twice.The Mariners sent 14 batters to the plate, getting six hits (all singles) and five walks.Even after building a seven-run lead, the Mariners had a hard time putting this one away. Los Angeles scored four times in the ninth, aided by third baseman Kyle Seagers error, before Edwin Diaz retired Trout with two on for his 12th save.Juan Graterol hit a run-scoring double in his first major league at-bat, and Kole Calhoun had a two-run single with the bases loaded to make it 11-8.Diaz entered and got Trout on a fly to deep center.It was just off the end a little bit, Trout said. Thats baseball. They came back and battled. We came back and battled tonight. To take a positive tonight, we fought to the end and had a chance in the ninth. Thats all you want.Nelson Cruz hit his 33rd homer in the eighth for the Mariners, who remained four games behind Baltimore and Detroit for the final AL playoff spot.Ariel Miranda (2-1) had a rough start for Seattle, falling behind 3-0 after three batters. A walk and a single led to Trouts 26th home run before Marte connected with two outs. Miranda, however, recovered to pitch six innings without allowing another run.FIRST TIME OUTGraterols double drew a big reaction on the bench. The catcher was called up earlier in the year but did not appear in a game before being sent back down. This was his first major league game after 11 years in the minors. Hes worked so hard to get here, Scioscia said. The guys in the dugout felt great for him.ROSTER MOVESBoth teams took advantage of Septembers expanded rosters and added players. The Angels recalled Graterol and LHP Cody Ege, and selected the contract of RHP Andrew Bailey from Triple-A Salt Lake. They also activated 3B Yunel Escobar from the 7-day concussion disabled list.Seattle added OF Ben Gamel, acquired from the Yankees in a trade Wednesday, to the major league roster and recalled C Jesus Sucre from Triple-A Tacoma. Gamel started in right field and batted leadoff.TROUTS CRASHTrout said he was fine before the game and had no lingering pain, two days after he was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on a Los Angeles freeway. He declined to go into specifics about the accident but said he was lucky it wasnt more serious.UP NEXTAngels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (2-3, 4.75 ERA) makes his eighth start of the season Saturday -- and third against the Mariners. Skaggs is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA vs. Seattle.Mariners: RHP Taijuan Walker (4-9, 4.19) has lost his last three decisions. Nike NFL Jerseys Outlet . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

LOS ANGELES -- Before a high-profile reunion with old running mate Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder face the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.Westbrook is off to an incredible start for Thunder (3-0), who play the first of back-to-back contests at Staples Center before heading to Oakland, Calif., to clash with the Golden State Warriors and Durant for the first time Thursday. Westbrook is averaging an NBA-high 38.7 points along with 11.7 assists (second in the league) and 12.3 rebounds (tied for sixth).He is shooting 45.3 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from 3-point range for Oklahoma City, which beat the Clippers in two of three meetings last season. In his last outing Sunday, Westbrook earned his second straight triple-double in a 113-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 33 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds.Westbrook is the first player in NBA history to record 100 points, 30 rebounds and 30 assists in a clubs first three games.Theyre a great team, so its always a fun matchup even though they look different this year, said Clippers forward Blake Griffin, who collected 21 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in a 116-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday as Los Angeles improved to 3-0. But still, you see what Russ is doing and you see they have guys who are very capable, so I think for that part you look forward to a game like that.(Westbrook is) an unbelievable player. Just the impact he has on the game in so many different areas and just the pressure he puts on defenses just alone is crazy. But you kind of know thaats his personality, to just go and destroy and take over.dddddddddddd But it will be a fun challenge.Thunder coach Billy Donovan is anticipating the two-game road trip providing a compass on his team.This gives us an opportunity really early in the season -- in the fourth game and the fifth game -- to find out really more about ourselves against two outstanding teams, Donovan said, according to NewsOK.com.The Clippers relied on defense to roll past the Utah Jazz 88-75 in their home opener Sunday. That followed a 114-106 road triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers last Thursday.Trust has been a big point for us, and talking, said Griffin, who is putting up 22 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. We have been eliminating small mistakes by communicating more. (Defense) has been our main focus in practice. We have been communicating and calling for each other, and everybody has a pretty good trust. We have to make some adjustments, but it has been a good start.On Tuesday, the Thunder acquired forward Jerami Grant and a trade exception from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward Ersan Ilyasova and a protected draft pick. Ilyasova was traded to Oklahoma City with guard Victor Oladipo in an offseason deal with the Orlando Magic for forward Serge Ibaka.The 6-foot-8, 210-pound Grant averages eight points, 3.5 rebounds and two blocks per game. For his career, Grant has posted averages of 8.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.38 blocks in 144 games (63 starts). ' ' '
