ANAHEIM, Calif. – Bartolo Colon won his fifth straight start, Robb Quinlan homered and doubled in the go-ahead run and the Anaheim Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday.

Colon (9-9) allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings, keeping the Angels 21/2 games behind Oakland in the AL West and sending the Mariners to their 18th loss in 19 road games. The right-hander struck out six and walked three.

Kevin Gregg pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings, and Scot Shields got four outs for his fourth save.

Vladimir Guerrero, the Angels’ home run and RBI leader, played despite discomfort in his left shoulder after getting hit by a throw while running from second to third on Saturday. His ground-rule double in the sixth followed a leadoff single by Garret Anderson, who came home on Darin Erstad’s sacrifice fly to tie the score at 2.

Quinlan, who had 15 RBIs in July, drove in Guerrero with a double inside third base to give the Angels their first lead against Ryan Franklin (3-10). The right-hander lost his sixth straight decision in a span of seven starts, allowing three runs and six hits in seven innings.

Franklin was charged with balks in the second and third by first base umpire Angel Hernandez. But the pitcher kept his focus and escaped both jams.

Bucky Jacobsen opened the scoring in the fourth with his sixth home run, following a leadoff single by Raul Ibanez.

The Mariners loaded the bases in the fifth with two outs. But Colon struck out former Angels World Series hero Scott Spiezio, who was 3-for-15 with no RBIs in the four-game series.

Quinlan brought the Angels a run closer in the fifth, leading off with a homer to left-center that extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games. All three of his major league homers have come in a nine-day span, and all against Seattle.

Notes: Colon’s longest winning streak is six in 2002 – three with Cleveland and three with Montreal. … Franklin committed two balks last season in 212 innings. His only other balk this season came on July 17 against Cleveland. … RHP Clint Nageotte was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners. He is penciled in to start one of the games in Tuesday’s day-night doubleheader at Baltimore. LHP Travis Blackley was optioned to Tacoma. … Angels SS David Eckstein, hit by a pitch Saturday, was available to play. But he didn’t because he is 2-for-26 lifetime against Franklin. … Angels C Bengie Molina, whose brother, Jose, has been catching Colon a lot lately anyway, sat out because of a cracked nail on his right index finger.
