A.L. WEST Mariners drop Rangers, 3-2



Dan Wilson hit an RBI single in the 10th inning.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Dan Wilson's RBI single with one out in the 10th inning lifted the Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
Randy Winn greeted reliever Ugueth Urbina (0-4) with a single to open the 10th.
Winn went to second on Jeff Cirillo's sacrifice bunt and raced home on Wilson's bloop single over the head of Rangers second baseman Michael Young.
Rafael Soriano (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for his first major league victory. Shigetoshi Hasegawa got three outs for his third save.
Juan Gonzalez hit a two-run homer, his 20th, and Kevin Mench went 3-for-4 for Texas.
Strong pitching
Mariners starter Jamie Moyer gave up two runs and nine hits over 62/3 innings in a no-decision a day before he finds out whether he'll get his first All-Star selection.
Moyer, Seattle's staff leader with 11 wins, struck out three and walked one.
Texas' John Thomson also turned in a strong start, allowing two runs and six hits over seven innings. He struck out five and walked one.
The Mariners have a major league-best 31-14 road record and are 3-3 on the current road trip. Seattle hasn't had a losing trip this season.
Seattle got the game's first run in the third when Cirillo doubled, went to third on a groundout, and scored on Ichiro Suzuki's groundout.
Texas took a 2-1 lead in the fourth when Rafael Palmeiro walked and Gonzalez followed with his 425th career homer.
The Mariners tied it at 2 in the seventh. John Olerud led off with a single, and pinch runner Willie Bloomquist went to second on Mike Cameron's walk. Bloomquist took third on Winn's groundout, and scored on Cirillo's sacrifice fly.
Notes
Dallas Mavericks first-round pick Josh Howard threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Gonzalez has 20 or more homers in 11 seasons, nine with Texas.
The Mariners are 4-1 in extra inning games, and Texas is 1-4.

Angels 6, Athletics 3
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Tim Salmon homered twice and Ramon Ortiz won for the sixth time in seven starts to lead the Anaheim Angels to victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Salmon connected on a 2-0 pitch from Aaron Harang (1-3) for a three-run homer in the first inning, sending the ball deep into center field. Eric Byrnes jumped at the wall to try to make the catch but had no chance. Salmon had homered only four times in his past 54 games and hit .215 in June.
Then, with the Angels leading 4-0, he led off the fifth with a solo shot off John Halama for his 13th homer of the season. It was Salmon's second multihomer game this year, both against the A's. It was the 20th multihomer game of his career.
Ortiz (10-6) retired 11 of the first 13 batters before Eric Chavez led off the fifth with his 17th homer. The A's added another run in the inning on Frank Menechino's RBI single.
Ortiz, coming off a loss Monday against Texas when he allowed four runs in 4 1-3 innings, worked efficiently by getting ahead against most hitters.
Ortiz also gave up a homer to Billy McMillon in the sixth to make it 4-3. It was McMillon's first homer of the year after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 29.
