Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – Chris Iannetta hit a two-run home run and David Freese added a two-run double as part of a six-run sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels entered the All-Star break in first place in the American League West after a 10-3 win over the Seattle Mariners yesterday. The Angels won for the 11th time in 14 games.
DENVER (AP) – All-Star Troy Tulowitzki homered, Charlie Blackmon had three hits and drove in four runs and the Colorado Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves 11-3 yesterday to complete a four-game sweep. Drew Stubbs also went deep for the Rockies, who took four from Atlanta for the first time in team history.
PHOENIX (AP) – Brittney Griner scored 26 points and the Phoenix Mercury beat Seattle 70-60 yesterday for their second victory over the Storm in three days. Griner had 14 straight points for Phoenix in the third quarter, extending a 10-point lead to 58-42. Four free throws by Alex Harden made it a 20-point advantage.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The Thunder will keep center Enes Kanter after matching an offer sheet by the Portland Trail Blazers. Oklahoma City acquired Kanter in a trade with the Utah Jazz last season, and he helped the Thunder while Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka battled injuries. He averaged 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in 49 games with Utah, but those numbers ballooned to 18.7 points and 11.0 rebounds in 26 games with the Thunder.
