J.P. Crawford hit a tie-breaking two-run single in a six-run seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners won their seventh straight series with a 9-3 victory on Wednesday over the Los Angeles Angels and Mike Trout,

Angels manager Ron Washington decided to pull 11-time All-Star and three-time MVP Mike Trout as the game progressed, a surprising development considering the Angels outfielder has started all 29 games this season including Wednesday's contest. Rumors swirled as no reason was given for Trout's exit from the game initially.

Mike Trout leaves Angels' loss to Seattle early with a sore knee, but says after game he plans to play Thursday.
