Inglett's walk-off single gives Blue Jays victory
08:56 PM PDT on Friday, July 25, 2008
TORONTO - Joe Inglett's two-run single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning gave the Toronto Blue Jays a 5-4 victory over Seattle on Friday night, the Mariners' sixth consecutive loss.
Seattle went ahead 4-3 in the top of the 10th on Jeremy Reed's RBI single.
Gregg Zaun led off the Toronto 10th against Mark Lowe (1-4) with a single to center. He was safe at second when Lowe threw high on John McDonald's sacrifice. Zaun was out at third on Scott Rolen's bunt and Adam Lind flied out, but Brad Wilkerson walked to load the bases before Inglett lined a shot over the head of right fielder Ichiro Suzuki.
Inglett finished 1-for-5 with three RBIs.
Jesse Carlson (3-1) earned the win despite allowing the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th.
The Mariners have lost 12 of 15 overall, while Toronto (52-51) moved back above .500 for the first time since June 13, when they were 35-34.
Seattle took a 1-0 lead on Kenji Johjima's RBI double in the second, but Matt Stairs tied the game in the bottom half with a solo homer, his team-leading 10th.
It took 103 games for Toronto to get its first double-digit home run hitter. The only other time the Blue Jays waited this long for a batter to reach double figures was 1981, when John Mayberry hit his 10th homer in the team's 116th game.
The Mariners went back in front with two runs in the third off Toronto starter John Parrish. Willie Bloomquist singled and scored on Adrian Beltre's two-out double, and Jose Lopez followed with a run-scoring single.
Toronto cut it to 3-2 in the bottom of the inning when Lind doubled and scored on Inglett's RBI grounder.
Cesar Jiminez replaced starter Miguel Batista after Lyle Overbay walked with one out walk in the sixth. He struck out Rod Barajas but gave up a double to Stairs, but Roy Corcoran came on and struck out Rolen.
Toronto tied it at 3 in the eighth against J.J. Putz. Overbay doubled, went to third on Barajas' single and scored on a base hit by Stairs.
Batista allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out two.
Parrish gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out one.
Suzuki, who has combined for 2,995 hits between the major leagues and the Japanese League, went 0-for-5 with a strikeout. Suzuki has 1,717 hits for Seattle.
