(AP) — Mike Zunino homered and doubled, Taijuan Walker pitched seven impressive innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 Monday. Robinson Cano added his first spring homer for the Mariners and is hitting .364 in exhibition play. The Angels and Mariners fielded lineups consisting mainly of the players who are likely to start on opening day next Monday when Los Angeles visits Seattle. Mariners platoon designated hitter Rickie Weeks and the opening-day pitchers were the lone missing players from who's expected to be on the field next week. The death of 20-year-old Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez is still heavy on the minds of players and staff within the organization. A makeshift memorial set up by minor league staff appeared outside the front door to the team's spring training headquarters on Monday. The Mariners released veteran pitcher Kevin Correia and have reassigned him to minor league camp. Walker won't be one of the Mariners' starters who will pitch in the season-opening series in Seattle, but he's on the Angels' radar. Mariners: OF Seth Smith (sore ankle) was scratched from the lineup, so Nelson Cruz took his place in right field and Weeks, who was scheduled to have the day off, was inserted at DH.
