Jason Vargas has overcome quite a few hurdles since having hip surgery in March 2008.

The Seattle left-hander reached another bench mark in his comeback Friday night, beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 with 6 1-3 impressive innings. It was his first victory as a starter since April 13, 2006, with Florida.
