TORONTO -- Mariners left-hander Wade Miley paid a heavy price for putting a foot wrong against Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion.J.A. Happ and three relievers combined on a one-hitter, Encarnacion hit a solo home run and Toronto Blue Jays beat Seattle 2-0 on Sunday, avoiding a three-game sweep.Miley (6-8) lost his sixth straight decision, allowing two runs and four hits in six innings.Something to build off, keep going in the right direction, Miley said. I felt like I wasnt quite as sharp as in my last outing, but I was able to make some pitches and get out of most of the jams.Miley intended to throw a pitch up and away when facing Encarnacion with two outs in the fourth, but his landing foot slipped on the mound.I didnt think I was going to be able to throw it anywhere near the plate when it happened, Miley said. Of course it went right down the middle.Miley has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 12 of 18 starts this season.I thought Wade Miley threw the ball very well, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. He made a mistake on the home run ball. Other than that it was a well-pitched game.Happ (13-3) won his seventh straight decision and surpassed the 12 wins he had for Philadelphia in 2009.All over baseball there probably hasnt been a more consistent starter, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Hes a better pitcher than hes ever been. Hes having a tremendous season.Happ allowed Seattles lone hit, a single by Leonys Martin in the third. He matched a season-high with four walks and struck out six.I wasnt the best with strike one today, but I stayed in there, Happ said. As the game went on I got a little better getting ahead of guys, definitely.Brett Cecil worked the seventh, Jason Grilli pitched the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 20th save.The shutout was Torontos sixth. The Blue Jays won for the first time in 24 games when scoring two runs or fewer.Happ made 21 appearances for the Mariners last season before being traded to Pittsburgh, but familiarity with the left-hander wasnt much help to Seattles hitters.We had some good at-bats, but he did enough to keep us off the board, catcher Mike Zunino said. When hes on, hes a tough guy to get to.Seattle lost for the first time in seven meetings with AL East opponents. The Mariners are 15-7 against the East.GRIFFEY GETS COOPERSTOWN CALLMariners great Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon.
