Blue Jays can't sweep Mariners, suffer crushing loss in 12 innings

SEATTLE - It had all the making of a stunning victory and that it turned out to be ... for the Seattle Mariners.

After Jose Bautista's dramatic ninth inning home run pulled the Blue Jays into a tie, Toronto blew two golden opportunities to take the win and finish the sweep before falling 2-1 in the bottom of the 12th inning.

Robinson Cano's sacrifice fly off reliever – yes, reliever – R. A. Dickey scored Guillermo Heredia from third base with nobody out in that fateful 12th.

Seattle scored the only run they thought they would need in the bottom of the third as catcher Jesus Sucre set the table with a leadoff double.
