SEATTLE (AP) Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning to fuel a second Angels rally in Los Angeles' 9-7 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night.

The Angels trailed 2-1 before taking the lead with a five-run seventh, but then Seattle came back with a five-run eighth. Steve Clevenger had a two-out RBI single to cap the inning for a 7-6 lead heading into the ninth.

Closer Steve Cishek (2-3) couldn't save it. With one out, he hit Kole Calhoun with a pitch and Mike Trout singled to right. Pujols then hit his eighth home run on a 1-1 slider.

Adam Lind drove in four runs for the Mariners, including a two-run double in the eighth. He opened the scoring in the second with a two-run home run, his second.

Cam Bedrosian (1-0) got one out in the eighth inning and Joe Smith pitch the ninth for his third save.
