Wilson, Street Spin Shutout, Freese Homers As Angels Down Mariners, 2-0

SEATTLE (AP) — C.J. Wilson allowed two hits over eight innings and David Freese provided all the offense with a two-run homer in the Los Angeles Angels' 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.

Wilson (1-0) was outstanding, wriggling out of a second-inning jam and retiring the final 17 batters he faced. The left-hander allowed three baserunners and needed only two strikeouts to shut down Seattle.

Nelson Cruz and Rickie Weeks each got his first hit with the Mariners, but that was the entirety of Seattle's offense against Wilson.

Freese found just enough power on a chilly night when fly balls were not carrying well. Albert Pujols doubled with one out in the fourth inning, the first hit off Seattle starter James Paxton (0-1), and Frese followed with a shot to right-center that barely cleared the fence.

Huston Street retired the Mariners in order in the ninth inning for his first save.
