ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Seattles moribund offence finally broke through against the Los Angeles Angels vaunted bullpen, which gave up 10 runs in two innings midway through the game. Mike Zuninos two-run double keyed a four-run fifth, and the Mariners climbed within a game of the second AL wild-card spot by routing the AL West leaders 13-2 on Tuesday night. Seattle broke it open with six runs in the sixth. The 13 runs tied a season high, and were one fewer than the Mariners had in their previous eight games combined. "When youre not scoring runs, it lingers. Hopefully, this will loosen us up," Zunino said. "Weve been the same team the whole year. We know were going to rely heavily on pitching and defence. And when the bats get hot, thats when everythings going to click. Tonight guys had good at-bats. Hopefully, today was a big building block and we can carry that on the next couple of weeks." The Mariners havent been to the post-season since 2001, when they won 116 games under manager Lou Piniella and tied the major league mark set by the 1906 Chicago Cubs. "Given what Seattle was going through the last 10-12 years, if Id have said leaving spring training that on Sept. 16 wed be two games out of the wild card, would you take it?" manager Lloyd McClendon said. "I dont think theres anybody associated with the Seattle Mariners who would have said no." One night after becoming the first team in the majors to secure a playoff trip, the Angels lost for only the fourth time in 21 games. But their magic number for clinching the AL West went down to two because of Oaklands 6-3 loss to Texas. The Athletics still lead the wild-card race by a game over Kansas City, which has a one-game edge on the Mariners for the final post-season berth in the AL. "You have to keep things in perspective and look at the big picture," McClendon said. "My guys have had a fantastic run. We dont want to look back down that road because it was a little shaky at times, but we can see the finish line and were going to keep charging ahead." Carson Smith (1-0) earned his first major league victory with two innings of hitless relief in his fifth appearance. Mariners starter Roenis Elias allowed two runs and five hits in three-plus innings before leaving due to elbow stiffness with a 2-0 deficit. This was the fifth time in Elias last six starts that his teammates failed to score while he was in the game. The rookie left-hander hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last 10 outings, but is only 3-4 during that stretch. Angels righty Cory Rasmus, making his fourth start since Garrett Richards went down with a season-ending knee injury on Aug. 20, made 42 pitches through four innings and retired 12 of the 13 batters he faced. The only blemish was a leadoff single by Kyle Seager in the second. Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia has used a committee approach to get through all five starts Richards has missed, and the Angels were 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in the other three games in which Rasmus led the way. "Id like to do all I can, but I guess thats all Im doing for now," Rasmus said. "At the end of the day, its their decision on what they feel if I get tired, look a little tired or whatever. Today, I was just kind of cruising. I was pretty efficient throughout the four innings I threw, and that made it a little better on my body." Jason Grilli replaced Rasmus in the fifth with a 2-0 lead and gave up a two-run double by Zunino, ending an 0-for-18 drought by the Mariners with runners in scoring position. Chris Taylor chased Grilli with an RBI double and Dustin Ackley capped the rally with another run-scoring double against Mike Morin. TRAINERS ROOM Angels: Rookie RHP Matt Shoemaker, removed from Monday nights 8-1 win after 7 2-3 innings, is expected to miss at least one turn in the rotation because of a mild strain on his left side. Shoemaker is 16-4 with a 3.04 ERA. ... Josh Hamilton returned to the lineup, batting sixth as the DH. He went 1 for 3 after missing 11 games because of an injured right shoulder. UP NEXT Mariners: James Paxton (6-2, 1.83 ERA) threw seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the Angels in his season debut and beat them again six days later. But he didnt pitch again for Seattle until Aug. 2, after missing more than 3 1/2 months because of a strained muscle in his left side. Angels: C.J. Wilson (12-9, 4.61) has a 6.64 ERA in 13 starts since June 19 -- the last time he pitched seven full innings. He went five innings last Friday against Houston and left with a 3-2 deficit, but got credit for an 11-3 win after his teammates got him off the hook with seven runs in the bottom of the fifth.

Michael Bennett Eagles Jersey . In his first game with Boston University, the 17-year-old Eichel picked up five assists as his Boston University Terriers thumped St.San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Tom Brady has Philip Rivers number. Its that simple. Brady threw for 317 yards with two touchdowns and an interception as the New England Patriots defeated the San Diego Chargers, 23-14, on Sunday night. New Englands signal-caller improved to 6-0 all-time against Rivers Chargers. Julian Edelman totaled 141 yards on eight catches with a touchdown that essentially sealed the game in the fourth quarter, and Rob Gronkowski also caught a touchdown pass for the Patriots (10-3). Rivers couldnt generate much offense for his team throughout the night, throwing for 189 yards with a touchdown and interception. San Diego (8-5) had its three-game winning streak snapped and will host AFC West-leading Denver in a pivotal division matchup next Sunday. Were going to rebound, bounce back and play like crazy next week, Rivers said. Theres no time to feel sorry for ourselves. The first points of the second half came on Stephen Gostkowskis 38-yard field goal with 10:34 left in the fourth to push the Patriots ahead, 16-14. Following a three-and-out by the Chargers, Edelman broke a tackle and scampered 69 yards into the end zone to extend the cushion to 23-14. The Chargers didnt have an answer, however, and New England chipped off over four minutes of clock, leaving little time for its opponent. Rivers pass to Antonio Gates on 4th-and-5 was short of the marker and Brady took a knee to run out the remaining time. Really proud of our football team today for what we did, said Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Defensively, I cant say enough about that effort. New England forced a punt on the opening possession of the game, then chewed up nearly eight minutes of clock on a lengthy drive that resulted in a 22-yard field goal from Gostkowski. The Chargers blocked the first attempt and took it 80 yards for a touchdown, but an offside penalty moved the ball up for Gostkowski to boot through the uprights to open the scoring. San Diego countered with an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown march. LaDarius Green picked up 11 yards on 3rd-and-9 from midfield to keep the drive alive and five plays llater, Rivers lofted a pass up to the corner of the end zone where Malcolm Floyd made a diving catch for a 15-yard touchdown.dddddddddddd Brandon LaFell made a catch just past midfield on the ensuing Patriots possession, but Jahleel Addae jarred the ball loose and Darrell Stuckey raced into the end zone for a 53-yard return touchdown that made it 14-3 with 11:06 to play in the second. New England manufactured another long drive deep into San Diego territory that ended with Gostkowski connecting with a 22-yard field goal. Brandon Bolden blocked Mike Scifres punt on San Diegos next touch and the Patriots started at the San Diego 25. Brady rushed for four yards on 3rd- and-3, then hooked up with Gronkowski on a back-shoulder throw for a 14-yard score and cut the deficit to 14-13. Manti Teo nearly intercepted Brady in the end zone earlier in the game, but made amends for it by picking off an offering late in the first half for his first career interception as the Patriots looked to add on points. The Chargers did a nice job keeping Brady off the field early in the third, forcing three straight three-and-outs. Devin McCourty intercepted Rivers off a bobbled pass from Green and returned it for a touchdown, but the play was negated as Brandon Browner was flagged for unnecessary roughness on a hard hit to Green. Akeem Ayers did, however, pick Rivers off later in the drive to keep it a one- point game. Brady and company couldnt do anything, though, as San Diegos defense forced another punt after just three plays. Game Notes Scifres left the game with a shoulder injury after Bolden blocked his punt.
