GAME LOG
SEATTLE (AP) _ Kent Bottenfield pitched 6 1-3 scoreless innings and Tim Salmon homered and doubled twice as the Anaheim Angels held off the Seattle Mariners 6-5 Friday night. Salmon's two-run shot in the eighth inning gave the Angels a homer in 11 straight games. Down 5-0, the Mariners rallied for four runs in the eighth off Mark Petkovsek and Shigetoshi Hasegawa. Stan Javier homered, Tom Lampkin hit a two-run double and Mike Cameron doubled home a run. Darin Erstad tripled and Adam Kennedy singled in the Angels ninth. Troy Percival got three outs for his eighth save, working around John Olerud's RBI single. Cameron, who replaced Ken Griffey Jr. in center field for the Mariners, made his second outstanding catch at Safeco Field this season. With two runners on in the fourth, Cameron crashed into the fence to rob Scott Spiezio of extra bases to end the inning. Edgar Martinez went 4-for-4 for the Mariners. Bottenfield (3-3), who came to the Angels from St. Louis in a trade for Jim Edmonds a week before spring training ended, limited the Mariners to four hits. He struck out seven and walked three. Aaron Sele (2-2) gave up an RBI single to Troy Glaus in the fourth and a run-scoring double to Spiezio in the seventh. Salmon hit his eighth homer and Glaus had an RBI single in the eighth. Both players finished with three hits. Bottenfield was replaced by Petkovsek after walking Cameron to put two on with one out in the seventh. The Mariners left the bases loaded for the second time when, after a walk to Carlos Guillen, Mark McLemore grounded out. Notes: Cameron robbed Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees of a home run by leaping over the fence to catch his drive on April 7. ... Angels SS Gary DiSarcina missed his second straight game because of a sore right shoulder. ... Mariners right fielder Jay Buhner is expected back on Saturday after missing three games in a row because of the flu. ... Erstad, the AL's leading hitter, was 1-for-5 to drop his batting average to .411, making him 3-for-17 on his team's current road trip. ... McLemore was caught stealing for the sixth time this year. ... The Mariners are now batting 2-for-17 (.118) with the bases loaded and two out this season.
