Mariners score 7 in 1st inning, hold off Angels

A Seattle club desperately needing someone to step up and squelch their recent skid got exactly that from 26-year-old lefty Marco Gonzales on Sunday as he shut down the Angels on two runs over six innings in an 8-5 victory. Bolstered by an early breakout by the offense — which put up its biggest inning of the season with a seven-run first — Gonzales prevented an Angels sweep.
