ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Mike Trout drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a home run against Felix Hernandez, Cliff Pennington also homered, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Saturday night.

Nelson Cruz put Seattle ahead 2-1 in the sixth with his second homer in two nights after an eight-game drought. But Trout responded in the bottom half when he drove a 1-0 pitch to center field after a leadoff single by Rafael Ortega. It was Trout's third homer of the season and fifth of his career against Hernandez (1-2).

Trout, the 2014 AL MVP, entered the game with a .354 career average against the 2010 AL MVP - the highest by any player with at least 50 at-bats against Hernandez.

Hector Santiago (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits over six innings and struck out seven.

Huston Street got his fifth save in five chances.
