ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Adam Kennedy came back refreshed from a night off, Rickey Henderson was given most of the night off by plate umpire Bill Welke, and the Anaheim Angels capitalized on an off night by the mistake-prone Seattle Mariners.

Kennedy hit two home runs Tuesday night, including a two-run shot in the eighth inning that lifted the Angels to a 7-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

	Alex Rodriguez follows through on a first-inning solo home run against the Anaheim Angels.

Garret Anderson opened the inning with a single off the glove of second baseman Mark McLemore. Jose Mesa (2-5) relieved Arthur Rhodes and retired Troy Glaus on a popup before Kennedy hit his sixth home run on the next pitch.

"It's a feeling that's hard to explain, knowing you're going back to the dugout after coming through for your teammates," Kennedy said after his first multihomer game in the majors. "That's the best part of that whole deal -- the fact that you did something they're going to be proud of."

Mark Petkovsek (3-2) earned the victory by retiring both batters he faced in the eighth. Troy Percival got the final three outs for his 20th save in 25 opportunities.

Edgar Martinez doubled home a run in the seventh, putting the Mariners ahead 6-5. It gave him a major league-leading 86 RBI.

Just hours after learning he was elected by the fans as the starting AL shortstop in the All-Star Game for the third time in four years, Alex Rodriguez hit his 22nd homer in the Mariners first.

Rodriguez also had a sacrifice fly. With 74 RBI, he is on a pace that would break his career-high of 124 in 1998.

Henderson was ejected for the first time this season after taking a called third strike for the second time in two at-bats. Television replays confirmed that Henderson never said anything to Welke, who tossed him anyway for lingering in the batter's box for more than five seconds with his head down and continuing to stare at home plate.

"I didn't say anything about the call. It was too close for me to even think about arguing," Henderson said. "I didn't even look at him. I didn't even move my mouth. I was just really puzzled that (Kent Bottenfield) snuck that pitch on the inside corner. I was about to walk, and then he threw me out of the ballgame."

After blowing a 4-1 lead, the Angels tied the game at 5 when Glaus scored on Jose Paniagua's 0-2 pitch in the dirt to Benjie Gil with two outs.

Seattle starter Gil Meche had walked Glaus with two outs before Rob Ramsey gave up a pop-fly double by Kennedy that fell between center fielder Mike Cameron and right fielder Stan Javier -- each of whom thought the other was going to catch it.

Paniagua then walked Matt Walbeck before delivering his third wild pitch of the season.

"I wanted to get Ramsey through the left-handed part of their lineup, but that (double) altered our plans a little bit," Seattle manager Lou Piniella said. "That ball in right-center obviously should not have fallen in, and they capitalized on it with the wild pitch."

The Angels came back on Vaughn's RBI single in the first, a two-run homer by Kennedy in the second and a solo shot by Walbeck in the fourth.

The Mariners regained the lead with four runs in the sixth off Bottenfield, who is 1-3 with an 8.60 ERA in his last seven starts.
