Seattle -- Seattle infielder Chone Figgins and manager Don Wakamatsu fought in the dugout during Friday's 2-1 Mariners loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Wakamatsu benched Figgins for failing to hustle after an errant throw from left fielder Michael Saunders -- a miscue that allowed Boston's Mike Cameron to make it to third on what should have been a lead-off double.
After the inning an altercation erupted in the Seattle dugout between Figgins and Wakamatsu that also involved infielder Jose Lopez and Mariners hitting coach Alonzo Powell. When Figgins' turn to bat came later in the game, Josh Wilson took his spot in the lineup.

Seattle -- Free agent third baseman Chone Figgins signed a four-year contract with the Seattle Mariners Tuesday, team officials said.
The deal is reportedly worth roughly $36 million and also includes an option for a fifth season.
"We see Chone as a great fit for our ball club and the city of Seattle," said Seattle General Manager Jack Zduriencik. "We anticipate an exciting time watching Ichiro and Chone batting at the top of our lineup. He is an athletic player with speed and versatility. He also brings tremendous character and positive energy to our organization."

Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 23: Alex Rodriguez drove in the winning run in the ninth inning Tuesday and the New York Yankees held off the Los Angeles Angels 6-5.
The Yankees had already clinched a playoff berth when the Oakland A's beat the Texas Rangers earlier in the evening.
Rodriguez broke a 5-5 tie with a sacrifice fly in the ninth -- one inning after the Angels scored the tying run to complete a comeback from a 5-0 deficit.
Rodriguez also belted a two-run homer in the game between potential playoff rivals.
Despite the loss, the Angels reduced their magic number for clinching the AL West title to five.

Boston, Sept. 18: Howie Kendrick singled in the go-ahead run in the ninth Friday and the Los Angeles Angels ended Boston's seven-game winning streak by downing the Red Sox 4-3.
Boston had won its 10 previous home contests and took a 3-1 lead through four innings.
The Angels closed within one on an RBI double by Chone Figgins in the fifth, then tied the game in the seventh on a fluke play that also involved Figgins.
Kendrick was on third base when Figgins swung and missed at what appeared to be a third strike thrown by Josh Beckett. The ball sailed past catcher Jason Varitek, however, allowing Figgins to reach first base and Kendrick to come in with the tying run.

Anaheim, Calif. Aug. 28: Trevor Cahill and two relievers combined on a three-hitter Thursday and the Oakland A's handed the Los Angeles Angels a rare blanking 2-0.
It was only the second time in the last three months -- and the fourth time this season -- the Angels had been shut out. Los Angeles has lost six of its last eight and its lead over Texas in the American League West was reduced to four games.
Cahill allowed a two-out single in the fourth inning to Vladimir Guerrero and a leadoff double to Jeff Mathis in the sixth.
Mathis reached third on a ground out by Chone Figgins, but neither of the next two batters could get the ball out of the infield and Cahill (7-12) survived his only major problem of the game.

Cleveland, Aug. 19: Jered Weaver bounced back from his worst outing of the season to throw a seven-hit shutout Wednesday, giving the Los Angeles Angels a 3-0 win over Cleveland.

The Angels, who began action Wednesday with a 5 ½-game lead over Texas in the American League West, won their fifth straight.
Weaver (13-4) survived only 3 1/3 innings in his previous start against Baltimore Friday, giving up eight earned runs, nine hits and four walks. It was his shortest outing in more than a year.
Although he allowed the Indians seven hits, Cleveland did not have more than one runner on base in any inning.

Minneapolis, July 31: Erick Aybar's four-pitch walk started a streak of eight straight Los Angeles base runners in the 11th inning Friday, propelling the Angels past Minnesota 11-5.

Bobby Keppel (0-1), who had not allowed a run in 11 1/3 innings since being called up from Class AAA, walked Aybar and then gave up a base hit to Gary Matthews and an RBI infield single to Howie Kendrick.

Arlington, Texas July 1: Hank Blalock's second homer of the game Wednesday, a two-out, two-run shot in the ninth, lifted Texas to a wild 9-7 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
The bizarre contest saw the Angels overcome a six-run deficit, even though they made two key base running mistakes in the late innings.
What began as a pitcher's duel between Kevin Millwood of Texas and Jered Weaver of the Angels deteriorated when the Rangers scored five times in the sixth without the benefit of a home run.
