Blue Jays Nip Mariners in 14 Innings

TORONTO - Bengie Molina's RBI single in the 14th inning lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Seattle Mariners 7-6 Saturday.

Scott Downs (3-0), Toronto's ninth pitcher of the game and the last in the bullpen, pitched the 14th to get the victory. Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.

Lyle Overbay doubled off Emiliano Fruto (0-1) with one out in the 10th before Molina drove him in with a base hit down the left-field line.

Molina, Troy Glaus and John McDonald homered for the Blue Jays, who have won just four of their last 10 games.

Toronto led 6-4 in the eighth when Seattle's Richie Sexson and Carl Everett hit consecutive homers off Brandon League to tie it.

Raul Ibanez homered and drove in four runs for the Mariners.

Ibanez hit a two-run drive off Halladay in the fourth, but Toronto scored four runs in the bottom half on Molina's two-run homer and McDonald's two-run shot off Jamie Moyer - McDonald's first homer since Aug. 9, 2004, for Cleveland at Toronto.

Halladay uncharacteristically allowed Seattle to tie it after being given a two-run lead. Adrian Beltre tripled to left in the fifth and scored on Ibanez's two-run triple off the center-field wall.

League, recently recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, pitched to just two batters - Sexson and Everett, who tied it.

Moyer allowed six runs and 12 hits in 6 1-3 innings.

Notes:@ The Blue Jays disinfected their clubhouse after being forced to place right-hander Ty Taubenheim on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with an infection in his left foot, the second Toronto player to be placed on the DL because of a staph infection. RF Alex Rios still hasn't rejoined the club since suffering a staph infection in his lower left leg in late June. ... Mariners CF Adam Jones is 0-for-7 since being recalled prior to Friday's game. The 20-year-old Jones was hitting .277 with 14 homers and 55 RBIs at Triple-A Tacoma. ... Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki went 0-for-6 for the fourth time in his career.
