Mark Trumbo homered and had three RBIs and the Los Angeles Angels moved within 2 1/2 games of first-place Texas in the American League West with a 7-3 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Monday.

Brendan Ryan homered and Justin Smoak and Josh Bard had run-scoring singles for Seattle, which committed a season-high five errors.
