ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Jamie Moyer's 200th career victory was a testament to hard work and keeping it simple.

Moyer reached the lofty milestone with help from Randy Winn's fifth career grand slam as the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-4 on Friday night.

When the 42-year-old left-hander got back to his locker -- the same one former Texas reliever John Wetteland used five years ago on the night of his 300th save -- Moyer found a chilled bottle of champagne with seven glasses.

``I'm not a big one on numbers, but I'm pretty happy,'' the 19-year veteran said. ``Baseball has given me a great opportunity to play the game. But what I try to give back to it is just as important. I'm one of many thousands who have played this game, and to have the longevity to be able to win 200 games is pretty special to me.''

Moyer averaged 15 wins during the previous eight seasons. At his present pace, he would have to be pitching until age 49 to join the 300-win club.

``The way I look at it, it's not over,'' Moyer said. ``Realistically, I think I've got two more years. But I could go out tomorrow and blow out my arm. You never know.
