Two-hit pitching by Jesse Jefferson led the Blue Jays to a 5-0 blanking of the Mariners as Otto Velez sparked the Toronto attack with three RBIs. After Alfredo Griffin led off the Jays fourth inning with a single, Velez followed with a two-run homer. He added an RBI fielder's choice in the eighth. Al Woods smacked a two-run round-tripper in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
