Morales breaks leg after hitting winner

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Kendry Morales took a leap toward home plate and all of a sudden, a jubilant trip around the bases turned into a deflating trip to the disabled list.

Morales broke his left leg after hitting a game-ending grand slam in the 10th inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 5-1 victory against Seattle on Saturday.

Morales landed awkwardly when he jumped on home plate and twisted his left ankle. He had to be carted off the field and taken to the hospital. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

"It'll change the way we celebrate," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before the extent of Morales' injury was known.

Maicer Izturis hit a one-out double in the 10th against Mariners reliever Brandon League (4-5). Bobby Abreu was intentionally walked and Reggie Willits followed with a grounder that was misplayed by second baseman Chone Figgins, playing his first series at Anaheim since he left for free agency.

"I was trying to get down and it took a bad hop," Figgins said. "I wasn't trying to turn the double play. I was set up to throw to first but it kicked back toward me."

Morales drove the next pitch to left-center for his 11th home run.

Seattle's Felix Hernandez took a five-hitter and a 1-0 lead into the eighth before Abreu hit a solo home run.

"It was sinker down and away and he put a good swing on it. It was a good pitch so you have to tip your hat," Hernandez said. "But everything was working with both sides of the plate with command of my fastball and my breaking ball. I pitched my best game today."

Hernandez came back for the ninth, but was taken out after giving up a leadoff walk to Hideki Matsui with his 111th pitch.

Weaver held the Mariners to three hits and an unearned run over seven innings and struck out six.

The Mariners took the lead in the fourth with the help of a throwing error by shortstop Erick Aybar.
