<p>Anaheim, CA (<a href="http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=mlb/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=27828" target="_blank">Sports Network</a>) - Bobby Abreu's solo homer off Brian Sweeney in the bottom of the 14th inning lifted the Angels over the Mariners, 4-3, in the opener of a three-game series.</p>
<p>Sweeney (1-2), who pitched a scoreless 13th, stayed on the hill for the Mariners to start the 14th. After Alberto Callaspo grounded out, Abreu blasted Sweeney's offering over the wall in left-center to give Los Angeles the victory.</p>
<p>Jeff Mathis drove in two runs for the Angels, who were coming off a 4-3, 16- inning win over the Indians on Wednesday. Jered Weaver was solid in eight innings, allowing one run on five hits. Rich Thompson (1-0) tossed two scoreless frames of relief to record his first victory in the majors.</p>
<p>Casey Kotchman and Jose Lopez had an RBI apiece for the Mariners, who have lost three of four. David Pauley went 6 2/3 innings in the start, giving up three runs on five hits.</p>
<p>The Angels scored twice in the fourth to break a scoreless tie. Hideki Matsui singled and Mike Napoli was hit by a pitch. The runners moved up one base on a sacrifice bunt. Howie Kendrick's sacrifice fly and Mathis' RBI single made it 2-0.</p>
<p>Seattle was able to get one run back in the fifth. Kotchman singled before Adam Moore struck out. Michael Saunders followed with a single to right, and Torii Hunter's throwing error allowed Kotchman to cross the plate.</p>
<p>LA added a run in the sixth to make it a 3-1 contest. Erick Aybar singled, moved to third on Kendrick's groundout, and crossed the plate on Mathis' suicide squeeze bunt.</p>
<p>Fernando Rodney came on for the save in the ninth. Franklin Gutierrez hit a one-out single and crossed the plate on Lopez's double to left-center field. Kotchman tied the contest with an RBI double to left.</p>
<p>Brandon League pitched a perfect home ninth to send the game into extras.</p>
<p>The Angels stranded men on first and second in the 10th and 11th innings.</p>
