The Mariners won their sixth in a row and pulled even with the Houston Astros atop the American League West.

The Angels took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 12th on Matthew Lugo’s run-scoring single. Jorge Polanco’s RBI double in the bottom of the 12th and Ford’s sac fly gave Jose Castillo (2-2) the victory over Sammy Peralta (0-1). Both teams scored a run in the 11th but left the bases loaded.
