Seager’s slam sets tone as Seattle cruises

Kyle Seager, whose glove helped James Paxton notch a no-hitter on Tuesday, brought his bat on Thursday and bashed a pair of home runs with five RBIs as the Mariners beat the Blue Jays, 9-3, in the series finale at Rogers Centre. Seager launched a first-inning grand slam off J.A. Happ and added a solo shot in the fifth off reliever Jake Petricka as the Mariners clubbed 17 hits to take two of three from Toronto. Happ was hit hard for the Blue Jays, allowing seven runs over 3 1/3 innings to take his third loss of the season.
