SEATTLE (AP) Shawn O'Malley capped Seattle's comeback with a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning and the Mariners rallied from a four-run deficit for an 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.

A few hours after the Mariners retired Ken Griffey Jr.'s No. 24 during an emotional pregame ceremony, O'Malley sent another charge through Safeco Field. O'Malley turned on an 0-1 pitch from Deolis Guerra and drove it into the right-field seats for his second home run of the season.

Seattle scored four times in the seventh thanks to three straight walks by reliever Jose Valdez (0-1), just called up from the minors. Leonys Martin's sacrifice fly pulled Seattle within 6-5 before O'Malley's shot.

Drew Storen (2-3) got the final out of the seventh to pick up the victory and Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
