Seager hits 200th HR, Mariners outlast Trout, Angels

SEATTLE — Scorching slugger Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer, rookie Kyle Lewis stayed hot with an RBI single, and the Seattle Mariners overcame two home runs by Mike Trout to beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-6 on Wednesday night.

Albert Pujols remained on 659 career home runs, one behind Willie Mays on the career list. There were plenty of long balls otherwise. The Angels got all their runs — and hits — off Seattle starter Marco Gonzales via a trio of solo shots.

Trout connected for one of those off Gonzales and added a threerun drive in the eighth against reliever Taylor Williams to pull the Angels within 7-6. Trout has three home runs in the two games since the birth of his first child and has 44 in his career against Seattle.

Carl Edwards Jr. pitched the ninth for his first save, and Seattle snapped its four-game losing streak.

Seager’s three-run shot in the third was a jolt Seattle’s struggling

offense needed. Seager’s 200th career home run landed in the second deck of the right field seats and gave Seattle a 3-1 lead. Seager joined Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner as the only four players to hit 200 home runs with the Mariners.

Anaheim Ducks re-sign D Larsson to 2-year, $2.4 million deal

ANAHEIM — The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed defenseman Jacob Larsson to a two-year, $2.4 million deal.

The Ducks announced the return of their restricted free agent Thursday.

Larsson will make $1.1 million next season and $1.3 million in the 2021-22 campaign.

The 23-year-old Swede has two goals and 14 assists in 113 games over the past three seasons with the Ducks, who drafted him in the first round in 2015. He set career highs with two goals and 11 assists in 60 games last season.

With Larsson’s deal, the Ducks have re-signed all of their restricted free agents for next season.

Their remaining unrestricted free agents include veteran goalie Ryan Miller, who is likely to be welcomed back if he decides to continue his NHL career, and defensemen Michael Del Zotto and Matt Irwin.
