Jose Bautista didn’t hit home run number 50, but the Toronto Blue Jays still belted three homers to down the Seattle Mariners 5-3 Tuesday night.
Vernon Wells, Edwin Encarnacion and Travis Snider all went over the wall for Toronto, which is now sitting two games above .500 at 76-74. Bautista went 2-for-4 and still sits at 49 home runs.
Jose Lopez gave Seattle an early lead with an RBI single in the top of the first, but Wells replied in the bottom frame with a two-run blast to give Toronto a lead it would never relinquish.
Encarnacion hit a solo shot in the second and Snider added his two-run bomb in the fourth to extend the lead to 5-1.
The offense was enough to make a winner out of Mark Rzepczynski (2-4), who allowed two runs over six innings, yielding seven hits and three walks while striking out eight.
Luke French (4-6) took the loss for Seattle, allowing all five runs on seven hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out only two batters.
Lopez knocked in his second RBI of the game in the fifth to make it 5-2. Lopez came up in the ninth after a Chone Figgins RBI single with the tying runs on base, but Kevin Gregg got him to strike out, notching his 34th save of the season.
