Chris Knapp and Dave LaRoche combined on a shutout as the Angels topped the Mariners, 3-0. The Angels got their first run in the second inning when Brian Downing was hit by a pitch, moved to third on Carney Lansford's double and scored on Rance Mulliniks' sacrifice fly. Lansford drove in two more tallies with a sixth-inning double. [The Sporting News]
