| Toronto, ON (MySportsbook) - Jarrod Washburn tossed eight innings of one-run ball as the Seattle Mariners avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays with a 5-1 victory at Rogers Centre. Washburn (5-9), who is widely speculated to change uniforms as the trade deadline approaches, raised his stock with Sunday's performance, as he allowed just four hits to go with a pair of walks and strikeouts in halting Seattle's seven-game slide. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't on my mind," Washburn s |

Marcum was placed on the DL back in late June with arm issues, but after a month off the mound, the right-hander returned to the hill this past Tuesday. Unfortunately, Marcum did no |

| (MySportsbook) - The Toronto Blue Jays will try to remain in the win column when they host the Seattle Mariners in the second contest of a three-game test this afternoon at Rogers Centre. If the Blue Jays want to continue their winning ways they will need a strong outing from David Purcey, who was recently called up from Triple-A Syracuse. Purcey was up earlier in the season, but did not fair well after going 0-1 in two starts. The last time the southpaw took the hill was back on May 16th against the Philade |
