SEATTLE -- Brett Oberholtzer was handed a four-run lead before he even took the mound Friday night for the Los Angeles Angels.It disappeared pretty quickly.Oberholtzer was pulled without getting an out in the second inning, part of a nine-run outburst that sent the Seattle Mariners to an 11-8 victory.Obviously, its not the start we were looking for or he was looking for, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Los Angeles mounted a ninth-inning rally but fell short.Mike Trout hit a three-run homer his first time up and Jefry Marte added a solo shot in the first for the Angels, giving Oberholtzer (1-1) a 4-0 advantage.But he walked the first batter he faced and gave up Guillermo Heredias RBI double in the first, then allowed two singles and walked two batters in the second, ending his night.I walked the leadoff hitter and it just snowballed from there, Oberholtzer said. I thought I was making pretty quality pitches, but just going the wrong way.Jhoulys Chacin came on with the bases loaded and promptly walked in a run. The first out of the inning came when Heredia grounded into a fielders choice with the bases loaded, driving in a run. Seattle got a second run on the play on second baseman Gregorio Petits throwing error, giving the Mariners a 5-4 lead.The scoring didnt end there. Five runs in the inning came with two outs, and the bottom of Seattles order did the most damage -- the last four hitters in the lineup all reached base twice.The Mariners sent 14 batters to the plate, getting six hits (all singles) and five walks.Even after building a seven-run lead, the Mariners had a hard time putting this one away. Los Angeles scored four times in the ninth, aided by third baseman Kyle Seagers error, before Edwin Diaz retired Trout with two on for his 12th save.Juan Graterol hit a run-scoring double in his first major league at-bat, and Kole Calhoun had a two-run single with the bases loaded to make it 11-8.Diaz entered and got Trout on a fly to deep center.It was just off the end a little bit, Trout said. Thats baseball. They came back and battled. We came back and battled tonight. To take a positive tonight, we fought to the end and had a chance in the ninth. Thats all you want.Nelson Cruz hit his 33rd homer in the eighth for the Mariners, who remained four games behind Baltimore and Detroit for the final AL playoff spot.Ariel Miranda (2-1) had a rough start for Seattle, falling behind 3-0 after three batters. A walk and a single led to Trouts 26th home run before Marte connected with two outs. Miranda, however, recovered to pitch six innings without allowing another run.FIRST TIME OUTGraterols double drew a big reaction on the bench. The catcher was called up earlier in the year but did not appear in a game before being sent back down. This was his first major league game after 11 years in the minors. Hes worked so hard to get here, Scioscia said. The guys in the dugout felt great for him.ROSTER MOVESBoth teams took advantage of Septembers expanded rosters and added players. The Angels recalled Graterol and LHP Cody Ege, and selected the contract of RHP Andrew Bailey from Triple-A Salt Lake. They also activated 3B Yunel Escobar from the 7-day concussion disabled list.Seattle added OF Ben Gamel, acquired from the Yankees in a trade Wednesday, to the major league roster and recalled C Jesus Sucre from Triple-A Tacoma. Gamel started in right field and batted leadoff.TROUTS CRASHTrout said he was fine before the game and had no lingering pain, two days after he was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on a Los Angeles freeway. He declined to go into specifics about the accident but said he was lucky it wasnt more serious.UP NEXTAngels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (2-3, 4.75 ERA) makes his eighth start of the season Saturday -- and third against the Mariners. Skaggs is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA vs. Seattle.Mariners: RHP Taijuan Walker (4-9, 4.19) has lost his last three decisions. Cheap Nike Vapormax China .

The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season.

State Senator Catherine Pugh is running one of the most watched races of 2016: the Baltimore mayoral race. Tuesday, the citys residents will head to the polls and decide whether Pugh will succeed Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.The Democratic nominee is serving her third term in the Maryland state senate representing District 40 in Baltimore, but Pugh is no stranger to tough races. In addition to being a competitive runner and athlete, Pugh founded the Baltimore Marathon 16 years ago, and it has grown into the Baltimore Running Festival with more than 25,000 participants.Sen. Pugh spoke with espnW about her love for running, Baltimore and how she manages her time.Running BaltimoreThe idea of the marathon was my idea, but the business of running Baltimore is about being an inclusive city, becoming more diverse and realizing that the area has such great things happening. At the same time, we, like many urban cities, suffer from issues that are decades old. Yet, we have great universities and hospitals in ones like John Hopkins and the University of Maryland Medical System, so we are a city of opportunities -- one that is just spurting and starting to grow. So its a very exciting time and envisioning the future is easy, because I have so many assets to work with. At the same time, its how I pull it all together, so I think itll make it a difference in the future of our city.Marathons in MarylandI was actually at an event with former Mayor Martin OMalley and Katie OMalley, his wife, who is a runner. ?Im also a runner, so I asked her at that event what she was training for, and she said she was training for a D.C. Marathon. I said, How upsetting is it that the city doesnt have its own marathon? We used to have what we called the Maryland Marathon, which was really great, so I said, The city needs its own marathon. I then walked over to her husband, who was mayor at the time, and said, The city needs its own marathon, and he said, OK.That was an OK, but there was no money. I remember working for [former Maryland Gov.] William Donald Schaefer, who said, When you see a problem, bring me a solution. When he said OK, that meant I had to come up with the way to get it done. So I went to the citys law department and said the city doesnt have any money. It was my thought that we would create a big proposal, advertising for bidders who created a Baltimore Marathon that would be inclusive of half marathons, team marathons and a 5K that would occur on a Saturday. People said, Why Saturday? and I said, Because it would increase participation. It would get people coming to our city earlier, participating in our running festival prior to the marathon and staying in our city that Thursday night, Friday night, run the marathon Saturday and Sunday stay and enjoy our city. And thats in fact what has occurred. We started out with 6,600 runners and are now at 25,000 runners.Timing is everythingI am such an individual runner. Have you ever seen annyone who likes to play golf and really likes to play by themselves? That would be me.dddddddddddd Running is not only relaxing, but it gives me time to think and gives me time to spend with myself. Its not just a sport and an exercise for me. Its a moment of peace and tranquility.Now, I have run with running groups and trained with other people. Marathon training requires a certain concentration and certain dedication, and sometimes it really is helpful to be in a group because it helps you stick to your agenda. I know when I was running marathons, we ran 80 miles a week and the person that I trained with was very meticulous about what you had to do every day. One of the things he taught me, which is why in my first marathon I ran a 3:19, was that you didnt run for distance -- you ran for time. He said that I had to build my body up to the point that I could take a three-hour run, once a week, for 11 straight weeks, and I would feel the impact of that for when I finally got to the marathon, and he was absolutely right. I am certain that at some point during the marathon training, I got close to 26.2 because people will tell you that you crash at the 18th mile, but I did not and I never had that experience of crashing. Ive always been able to run through. In fact, I think Im more competitive in the end then I am in the beginning. In the beginning of the marathon, Im just trying to stay on pace.Weekly races[I ran] 48 races in one year -- placed in almost every single race. What was really funny is that there was a race in Annapolis where they only award the top 10 women, no age groups or anything. I came in 11th and I was sitting on the side dismayed, and someone walked up to me and said, Whats up with you? Why are you looking all sad? Youre the first black girl in? I said, S---, aint no awards for first black girls. Its about the top 10. I missed it.Running for a purposeWe want people to be healthy. Whether its running, walking, skipping, hopping or jumping, you just have to move your body. We are trying to create more bike trails in the city for people to be able to ride safely.Baltimore is different than most big cities and the streets are not that wide. Our marathons have five different starts because of that, but were getting better at addressing it. I always tell people when they are running through the city, I like running on the street -- on the tar of the street -- because it gives more. The curbs are made of cement, which creates problems for us as we get older with our knees because of the constant pounding. You want shock resistant shoes. You also want a comfortable setting and the tar is more comfortable then the cement. It is important for runners to A: Run against the traffic, and B: Be conscious of your surroundings. I dont wear earphones. I run to my own beat thats in my head.
