The Los Angeles Angels easily could have folded when their top run producer went down. Instead, they keep driving in runs. Closing out the second series of a 14-game trip, the Angels will try to match a season high with their fifth straight victory Sunday when they face the struggling Seattle Mariners. The excitement of Kendry Morales’ walk-off grand slam in last Saturday’s 5-1, 10-inning victory over Seattle was short-lived because the Angels first baseman broke his leg when he jumped on home plate. Despite losing the team leader with 11 homers and 39 RBIs, the Angels have won six of seven, batting .296 and averaging 7.0 runs. Hunter and Howie Kendrick have four homers and 21 RBIs between them since Morales got hurt.Joel Pineiro would welcome that kind of run support. The veteran right-hander is 0-2 with a 9.53 ERA in his last three starts after giving up no runs in his previous two outings. In Tuesday’s 6-3 loss at Kansas City, Pineiro surrendered 10 hits and six runs, with four crossing in the fifth inning.
Seattle hasn’t had many of those this season. The Mariners are among the worst in the AL in most offensive categories, including homers, batting average and runs per game. They have scored two or fewer runs 23 times this season. Seattle will try to salvage the series finale with Jason Vargas on the mound. After competing for a roster spot during spring training, Vargas now owns one of the best ERA’s in the AL and leads Mariners starters in victories. Opponents are batting .209 against him. Vargas, who has yielded two runs or fewer in seven of his 10 starts, threw 7 1/3 strong innings in an 8-1 victory against Los Angeles on May 9 that helped Seattle snap a season-high eight-game slide. The Angels had won the previous five matchups between these AL West foes. Vargas is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA in two starts against Los Angeles.
