Seattle Mariners closer J.J.Putz pitches in the ninth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Sean Green replaced Batista in the sixth and retired all four batters he faced before Chris Reitsma worked the eighth.

J.J. Putz pitched the ninth for his 29th save, extending his streak of scoreless innings to 22. He also has converted 31 chances in a row dating to last season. Both are the longest active streaks in the major leagues.

With a runner on, Putz retired Gregg Zaun and pinch-hitter Matt Stairs to end it.

Batista walked the bases loaded on 12 pitches in the second but got a break when Zaun grounded into a double play, scoring Frank Thomas. Batista escaped further damage when John McDonald struck out.

Beltre erased the 1-0 deficit in the fourth when he followed a walk to Guillen with a home run to center, his 15th.

Seattle added two more in the fifth. Yuniesky Betancourt and Ichiro Suzuki walked, Jose Vidro sacrificed and Ibanez and Guillen hit successive RBI singles.

That chased rookie right-hander Jesse Litsch, who allowed four runs, five hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings. Litsch (2-4) struck out two and lost for the third time in four starts.

Toronto made it 4-2 in the sixth when Alex Rios doubled and scored on a single by Troy Glaus.

The Blue Jays finished 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and are batting .128 (6-for-47) in such situations over the past five games.

Zaun threw out pinch-runner Jason Ellison on an attempted steal of second in the eighth, ending a streak of 27 consecutive stolen bases against Toronto, the longest run in the majors.

Suzuki finished 1-for-3 with a walk and is 10 hits shy of 1,500 for his career.
