SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Bryan Woo struck out a career-high 13, J.P. Crawford hit a go-ahead homer in the fourth inning, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Saturday night to stay tied with Houston atop the AL West with their eighth straight win.<\/p>\n
Matt Brash worked the ninth inning for his fourth save, allowing a solo home run to Taylor Ward.<\/p>\n
Woo (14-7) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on three hits while walking one. He has pitched five innings or more in 31 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the AL.<\/p>\n
Woo surrendered Jo Adell\u2019s 36th homer and an RBI single by Bryce Teodosio in the second inning, then retired the next 13 batters he faced.<\/p>\n
Seattle scored early against Angels starter Mitch Farris (1-1), who lasted only four innings, yielding five runs on five hits, walking four and striking out seven. Jorge Polanco hit a two-run double in the first, and Crawford hit his 10th homer of the year in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery was away for a funeral so Ryan Goins was the acting manager for Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
Seattle holds the second AL wild-card spot in a tie with the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n
