Early on Saturday morning, the Mariners and Blue Jays faced off in bright, sunny Toronto. Two hours and 25 minutes later, Fernando Rodney shot an arrow into the sky and the Mariners were walking off the field, victors. The combination of Mark Buehrle and James Paxton made for a fast paced game that didn't see many runs either.
Entering today's game, Paxton was riding a 20-inning scoreless streak that was tied for the longest such streak since Hisashi Iwakuma strung 23 scoreless innings together at the end of 2013.
