SEATTLE - Kendrys Morales and the Los Angeles Angels gave Dan Haren an early lead in a ballpark he enjoys pitching in. Good combination. Morales drove in four runs and Torii Hunter had four hits, helping the Los Angeles Angels snap the Seattle Mariners eight-game home winning streak with a 9-1 win Friday night. "We got started early tonight again, then keep pushing the action as much as we can," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We matched up some good offensive baseball with a great effort from Dan." Morales hit a three-run homer in the first off Seattle starter Kevin Millwood. His drove in Mike Trout with a single up the middle in the fourth inning. Haren (9-10) pitched seven innings and allowed just an unearned run on five hits. Haren is 6-2 with a 1.82 ERA lifetime at Safeco Field, and is 2-0 this year without allowing an earned run. "Theres different places in the league Ive felt good at," Haren said. "I dont know what it is with this place, but its been good." Millwood (4-12) was finished after five innings, allowing nine hits, five runs, four walks and one strikeout. He went 0-4 in August. Trout set the Angels rookie record for runs scored with his 104th run in his 109th game on Albert Pujols infield single in the second inning. Trout passed Devon White, who scored 103 runs in 159 games in 1987. The record-breaking run put Anaheim in front 4-1. Morales single in the fourth drove in Trout for a 5-1 lead. Trout has scored three-plus runs 10 times this season, the most since Sammy Sosa did it 11 times in 2001. Hunters four hits matched his season high and he is 10 for 13 his last three games. It was the third time this year Hunter had four hits. "Cut my swing down, make sure I get on base for Albert Pujols," Hunter said. "Ive never had a guy like that hit behind me, not since David Ortiz with the Twins in 2002. I was always hitting behind the (Joe) Mauer, (Justin) Morneaus and Vladimir Guerrero over here, but I never hit in front of a guy of that calibre." Millwood was behind hitters throughout the bumpy first hitting. Morales hit his 18th home run of the year on a 2-1 pitch to drive in Hunter who had singled on a 3-1 pitch and Pujols, who walked. "It wasnt very good from the first pitch," Millwood said. Trumbo followed with a crisp single to right before Millwood retired Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo. Millwood threw 29 pitches in the first, only 15 of which were strikes. Hunters sixth-inning double down the third base line off Carter Capps scored Trout, who had singled and stole second, to put the Angels up 6-1. Callaspo doubled home Aybar, who had tripled, in the ninth against Lucas Luetge. Bobby Wilson then hit his third home run. John Jasos single drove in Franklin Gutierrez in the first. Gutierrez had singled then advanced to third when an errant pickoff attempt from Haren went all the way into foul territory. The Angels defence helped Haren through the first three innings with two flashy double plays. Maicer Izturis started a 4-6-3 double play in the second when he backhanded a grounder from Trayvon Robinson heading up the middle, then shovelled the ball with his glove to Aybar. An inning later, Callaspo snared a brisk grounder from Gutierrez several steps behind the third base bag to start a 5-4-3 double play. "Thats really the difference in the game," Haren said. "I just felt a lot of times this year, I was close to turning the corner and those balls would get by and the game would be different. Tonight, two great double plays in the early innings, then we added on." After missing the last five games with a groin strain, Michael Saunders was back in the Seattle lineup until the fourth inning Friday. Eric Thames replaced him in the fifth after Saunders appeared to aggravate the injury when catching a flyball. "Its nothing worse," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "I didnt want to take any chances on it." NOTES: Seattle has hit 28 home runs in August, the most since hitting 29 in September of 2009. . August was the second losing month of the season for Anaheim (8-15 in April). . Seattle manager Eric Wedge said the plan as of Friday was to let the organizations respective minor league teams finish their seasons before calling players up when rosters expand Sept. 1. Triple-A Tacoma finishes Sept. 3. . Houston, which is 168-183 at Wrigley since debuting there 50 years ago in April 1962, will transfer to the American League for the 2013 as part of a major-league realignment. Right-hander Edgar Gonzalez will get the start for the Astros, his sixth of the season for Houston and the 47th of his career in his 113th big-league appearance.

SEATTLE -- Neftali Feliz will be shut down for at least a month because of inflammation in his right elbow, the Texas Rangers said Monday while putting their closer-turned-starter on the 15-day disabled list. The AL West leaders made the move three days after wildness cut short Felizs latest outing in the fifth inning. Just how long Feliz will be out will be determined when the Rangers see how a ligament in his elbow responds to four weeks without picking up a baseball. He will then be re-examined by Dr. Keith Meister. "Keith is one of the best and if he feels like rest and medication can help him, thats encouraging to hear," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said after arriving in Seattle. "You dont like any of the guys to miss any amount of time but it beats the alternative." The Rangers recalled right-handed reliever Yoshinori Tateyama from Triple-A Round Rock. Its the latest Texas had gone into any season before making a roster move -- the previous mark was May 10, 1976, when Ken Pape came up from the minors a day after John Ellis broke an ankle. Right-hander Scott Feldman will take Felizs spot in the rotation for Wednesdays series finale against Seattle. Feldman has made two spot starts, including one to give Feliz extra rest. How the two-time AL champions go forward will be re-evaluated after Feldman throws. One option could be reliever Alexi Ogando, who made 29 starts last season for the Rangers before transitioning back to the bullpen this season. Outside of the organization, the Rangers have taken a look at free agent Roy Oswalt. On his radio show in Dallas on Monday, Rangers president Nolan Ryan acknowledged the team had a private workout recently at Oswalts home in Mississippi and would consider signing the free agent right-hander. Oswalt has the Rangers on a shoort list of teams he would consider, but wants to be a starter.dddddddddddd. "Well take a look at that and see what happens," Ryan said. In Texas 4-1 win Friday at Houston, Feliz threw 51 balls among 100 pitches and was pulled by manager Ron Washington after 4 2-3 innings. Daniels said Feliz experienced soreness following his start on May 13 against the Los Angeles Angels. Initially Feliz believed it was regular soreness following a start and didnt tell trainers. When he woke up Saturday in Houston with a sore elbow, Feliz told trainers and he was immediately sent back to Dallas for additional examination. "Coming out of this one he noticed it wasnt going away and said something," Daniels said. The 24-year-old is in his first season as a major league starter after he saved 72 games in two years as the Rangers closer. He is 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA. He has 23 walks and 37 strikeouts in 42 2-3 innings. Not long after Feliz blew a save when the Rangers were one strike away from winning the World Series last fall, the Rangers said they planned to move him to the rotation. He had been a starter in the minors. Feliz threw seven shutout innings in a 1-0 win over Seattle in his debut but has since been uneven. Hes walked at least four batters in three starts, including a season-high six when he blew a 5-0 lead in an 8-7 loss at Toronto. "Weve just got to get him well," Washington said. "We were looking forward to him taking the ball throughout the whole year but I think what happened you cant do anything about. Now the key is to get healthy." Tateyama started the season on the DL and was optioned to Round Rock when he was activated April 13. Hes 1-0 with a 0.54 ERA and a save in 12 outings. He was 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 39 relief appearances for the Rangers last season. ' ' '
