SEATTLE -- Marco Gonzales didn't have his best stuff. Guillermo Heredia and Chris Herrmann weren't even supposed to be in the lineup. But as has been the case often this season for the Mariners, everything came out fine in the end as Seattle topped the Angels, 4-1, on Thursday to win another series at Safeco Field.
Gonzales (9-5, 3.64 ERA) worked six innings of one-run ball, overcoming some early struggles by stranding six runners in the first three frames. The lefty allowed five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in a 102-pitch outing to become Seattle's first nine-game winner this season.
