ANAHEIM -- Memo to Mariners fans: Don’t change the channel until the final out on this club.

In the Year of the Long Ball, the Mariners clearly are going to be riding a roller coaster in 2019, as evidenced Sunday when the Angels flipped the early script by launching four home runs of their own and then held off Seattle’s furious ninth-inning rally for an 8-6 victory at Angel Stadium.

The Mariners missed a chance at a four-game series sweep, as their bats stayed silent for most of the sunny afternoon until scoring five times in the ninth on homers by Tom Murphy, Dee Gordon and Mitch Haniger.

The trio of late blasts raised Seattle’s home run total to 14 in the four-game series and 56 on the season, breaking the previous Major League record of 55 in the first 25 games of a season set by the 2000 Cardinals.

“We just have to keep battling,” said Haniger, whose two-run blast set up a situation where Seattle had the tying run at the plate until Edwin Encarnacion popped up for the final out. “There’s a lot of power in this lineup, so we’re never really out of a game.”

But with the Angels winning the power game Sunday, the Mariners saw their nine-game road winning streak snapped as they dropped to 16-9, still the best winning percentage of any team in the Majors and one game ahead of the Astros in the American League West standings.

Seattle starter Mike Leake surrendered a trio of homers -- a two-run rip by Kevan Smith in the second and solo shots by Tommy La Stella in the fourth and Brian Goodwin in the sixth -- in his six-inning outing. La Stella added a second homer with a leadoff blast off reliever Ruben Alaniz in the eighth.

“I thought Mike threw the ball fine,” said Mariners manager Scott Servais. “Just the home-run ball, we were on the other side of it early in the ballgame and got behind there. The tack-on runs, that’s what kind of got us in the last homestand a little bit. We certainly believe in our offense. If we can keep them right there, we always have a chance to come back, and you saw that again today.”

Leake (2-2, 4.30 ERA) has been bit by the long ball more often this season, as he’s allowed eight homers in his last four starts, including a three-homer game in a no-decision at Kansas City 10 days earlier after never allowing more than two in a game all of last year.

Domingo Santana racked up his AL-leading 26th RBI with a run-scoring single in the third, but that was all the Mariners could muster until the late fireworks as the Halos snapped a six-game losing streak.

“It’s tough to sweep any team,” said Haniger. “But I like the fight we showed, especially late in the game. We just have to keep those guys off the basepaths early in the game. Unfortunately they hit some home runs and were able to put up some numbers early.”

The Angels used an “opener” to start the game, with reliever Hansel Robles throwing a 1-2-3 first before starter Jaime Barria entered for the next five frames. That opener ploy worked well, except for the Halos not having a closer to finish the job at the end with the 8-1 lead.

Ryon Healy’s one-out double in the ninth off Noe Ramirez kick-started the late rally, with Murphy following with a two-run homer, his second in six games since being acquired from the Giants on March 29.

Gordon then followed with his second homer of the year on a shot over the short fence in right field. After a two-out walk by Mallex Smith, Haniger belted his seventh home run of the season off Cody Allen, before the Angels finally got the final out from Luis Garcia.

“It’s a lot of fun to be part of that,” said Murphy. “Obviously we’d have liked to sweep today, but taking the series is big. We can’t let today get us down by any means.”

The Mariners are 11-2 on the road this year -- tied for the best road start in franchise history -- and have hit 37 home runs with 103 runs in those 13 games.
