A homer by Dan Meyer in the seventh inning for his third hit of the game snapped a 6-6 tie and gave the Mariners a 7-6 triumph over the Angels. The Angels had tied the score in the sixth stanza with a three-run rally, the key blow being a two-run double by Carney Lansford. Mariner reliever Randy Stein picked up his first victory of the season. [The Sporting News]
