Recap: Seattle vs. Toronto

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Eric Thames hit a game-tying two-run home run in the fifth inning and John Jaso had the deciding RBI single in the sixth to lift the Seattle Mariners over the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-3, and complete the sweep of a three-game set at Safeco Field.

Dustin Ackley also knocked in a run for Seattle, which stretched its season- high win streak up to seven games.

It is the Mariners' longest win streak since an eight-game run from June 23- July 1, 2007.

Blake Beaven (7-6) allowed three runs on seven hits over 7 2/3 innings to earn the win. Tom Wilhelmsen worked a perfect ninth to record his 15th save of the year.

Carlos Villanueva (6-1) surrendered four runs on seven hits through six full frames for the Blue Jays, who have dropped four straight.

Colby Rasmus and Kelly Johnson each hit a solo home run in defeat.

Toronto jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first inning on Rasmus' one-out shot over the right-center field wall.

Neither team recorded a hit from there until Rasmus led off the fourth inning with a base hit to right field. He would quickly be erased on the next batter, though, when Edwin Encarnacion grounded into a double play.

Johnson followed with a blast into the seats in center field to give the Blue Jays a 2-0 advantage.

Seattle answered with a run in the home fourth when Ackley hit a leadoff single, advanced to third on a Michael Saunders base hit and crossed the plate on Jesus Montero's double-play grounder to second.

But Toronto got that run back in the fifth inning as David Cooper opened the frame with a double and later scored on a Jeff Mathis sacrifice fly to center field.

Thames, who the Mariners acquired from the Blue Jays on Monday, tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run homer to center field in the bottom of the fifth.

"One thing I love about this team is that everybody's young and everything matters. If a guy makes a double-play pitch or a good catch, everybody's all in the dugout giving high fives. It's great to be a part of," said Thames.

Mike Carp hit a two-out single prior to Thames' fourth home run of the year.

Seattle then went on top in the sixth as Saunders hit a one-out double and scored two batters later on Jaso's base hit up the middle.

After Toronto failed to capitalize on Rajai Davis' two-out double in the seventh, the Mariners added an insurance run in the bottom of the frame when Ackley followed Brendan Ryan's two-out ground-rule double with an RBI single to left.

"They bunched some hits together to manufacture runs. They are playing with a lot of confidence," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said about the Mariners.

Beaven and Lucas Luetge combined to toss a 1-2-3 eighth before Wilhelmsen shut the door in the ninth to preserve the win.
