Happ Gets 20th Win, Jays Take Over 1st AL Wild-card Spot

SEATTLE (AP) — J.A. Happ became the major leagues' second 20-game winner and Russell Martin and Michael Saunders each hit a two-run homer, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays over the Seattle Mariners 10-2 on Tuesday night to move into first in the AL wild-card race.

Toronto took the lead with an eight-run fourth inning and moved a game ahead of Baltimore. Detroit remained 2 1/2 games behind the Blue Jays.

Seattle lost for the fourth time in five games to fall four games behind Toronto.

Happ (20-4) allowed two runs, six hits and a walk over five innings, striking out eight while winning for the 14th time in his last 15 decisions. He's the first Toronto pitcher to reach 20 wins since Roy Halladay in 2008.

Martin and Saunders each homered off Hisashi Iwakuma (16-12) during the Blue Jays' big inning.
