Lackey, Angels blank Mariners

Baseball Betting Lines

05/17/2007 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Lackey tossed four-hit ball over six innings and combined with a pair of relievers to lead the LA Angels of Anaheim to a shutout of the Seattle Mariners, 5-0, in the middle game of a three-game series at Safeco Field.

Lackey (6-3) walked a batter and struck out four as the Angels evened the series at a game apiece. Dustin Moseley hurled two scoreless frames and Scot Shields pitched the ninth.

Orlando Cabrera had two hits and two runs batted in, while Reggie Willits went 2-for-5 with an RBI for the Angels, who are now 12-3 in their last 15 games against the Mariners.

Cha Seung Baek (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits, with a walk and three strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Ichiro Suzuki had a pair of hits, and his stolen base in the first inning was his 45th consecutive successful attempt, extending his own American League record. He is just five short of the Major League mark held by Vince Coleman.

The Angels put a pair on the board in their first trip to the plate. Willits ripped a leadoff double to right-center, and Vladimir Guerrero drew a one-out walk. Willits advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Gary Matthews' single, while Casey Kotchman's base hit scored Guerrero to make it 2-0.

Seattle had just two hits heading into the sixth, then squandered a chance to cut into the lead. Jose Lopez and Suzuki hit back-to-back singles, while Jose Vidro's groundout moved both runners. Lackey intentionally walked Raul Ibanez, loading the bases, before Richie Sexson grounded into a force. Chone Figgins made a nice play on the high hopper at third, coming home with the throw, and Jose Guillen went down swinging to end the inning.

The Angels added three more in the seventh to extend their lead. Figgins walked and a Willits' single scored Mike Napoli, who had reached on a fielder's choice. Chris Reitsma came out of the pen for Seattle and both runners initiated a double steal before scoring on Cabrera's bouncer that snuck through on the left side.
