Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
TORONTO, July 21 (UPI) -- Rajai Davis delivered a two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning Thursday, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-5 win over the Seattle Mariners.
Seattle's Miguel Olivo had tied the score in the top of the eighth with a grand slam to dead center before the Blue Jays took the game back in the bottom of the inning.
Mariners' reliever David Pauley (5-4) got the first two outs of the eighth before Mike McCoy doubled and Yunel Escobar walked. Davis drove an outside pitch to the right-field wall and both runners easily scored.
Josh Rauch (4-3) allowed just one runner in two innings of relief and got the win.
Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki singled in the game's first run in the top of the fifth. McCoy doubled in a run for Toronto in the bottom of the inning and Jose Bautista added an RBI double for the Blue Jays in the sixth.
Toronto scored three times in the seventh on two singles, two walks a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly. Escobar singled in one run, Eric Thames walked with the bases loaded for another and Bautista had the sacrifice fly for a 5-1 lead.
That lead disappeared on Olivo's grand slam.
