I think when you look at this past week weve had those things more times than not, and thats why weve been able to find a way to win.Quincey and John Moore also scored for the Devils, and Cory Schneider stopped 21 shots.

I was just waiting for it and he made a great play and I was able to get it in.Palmieri made it 3-1 from the right circle with 8:47 left in the second for his third of the season.

Hes trying to find that blend, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Hes got a really explosive fastball and a slider, but the last two games hes hung sliders and they went out of the park.It was the Cruzs 10th home run this year against Los Angeles, more than any other Mariners player has hit in one season against a single opponent.Jay Buhner belted nine off Minnesota in 1995.Hisashi Iwakuma pitched into the seventh inning and earned his 16th win for Seattle (78-68), which completed a three-game sweep.The surging Mariners moved within 1 1/2 games of Toronto for the second AL wild card, with Detroit the only team in between.Its the first time the Mariners have won eight in a row since July 2013. They have the longest active streak in the majors.Guys are really confident, really happy and the energy is up, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Were just focusing on one game, thats the key. And then you get on the plane and youre thinking, just win the series. And you win the first couple and you think, why not sweep it? Thats kind of been our attitude.Seager hit his career-best 29th homer off Jhoulys Chacin in the fifth to tie it at 1.Chacin came out of the bullpen to make his first start since Aug. 21, in place of injured Tyler Skaggs. Chacin settled for a no-decision, limiting the Mariners to one run and three hits in six innings while striking out five. He threw 78 pitches, close to his prescribed limit.I think he commanded the sinker, changed speeds very well, Scioscia said. And for a guy who hadnt started very well, he threw six strong innings against a team who has been hitting the ball well.Since losing five straight starts through June and July, Chacin is 1-00 with a 2.dddddddddddd7 ERA as a starter.Chacin might need to make another start in place of Skaggs. An MRI revealed no damage to his surgically repaired elbow, but Skaggs will be out at least a week. He said he plans to pitch again this season, however, possibly making Chacin the odd man out in the rotation at some point.I tried to call the right pitches for him and he did an unbelievable job, catcher Juan Graterol said. Hes doing great. Hes throwing everything for a strike. Hes always ahead in the count.Edwin Diaz pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save.Iwakuma (16-11) won his second straight, allowing one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. He exited after Cliff Pennington bunted for a leadoff single and advanced on Graterols sacrifice.He dialed it up. You could see the look on his face, Servais said. Hes very good at slowing the game down. Its almost to the point where it drives you crazy, like, lets go! But thats what he does; he slows it down, he executes pitches.Tom Wilhelmsen retired the next two batters.Graterol, who made his first major league start, scored on a wild pitch by Iwakuma in the third and went 2 for 2, the only Los Angeles player with a multihit game.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Skaggs had an MRI to find the cause of soreness in his left forearm.
