Jose Bautista had two hits and scored three times for the Blue Jays, who have won the first two games by a combined 24-6. R.A. Dickey (14-12) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings while winning his fifth consecutive decision.

Felix Hernandez (14-6) was torched for eight runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings as the Mariners lost their fourth straight and 10th in 14th games. Seattle has allowed 42 runs over the last four games and slipped 2 1/2 games behind Kansas City for the American League’s second wild card with five games remaining.

Seattle led 2-1 before Toronto erupted for seven fifth-inning runs, beginning with Dalton Pompey’s first big-league homer. Ryan Goins’ sacrifice fly pushed the Blue Jays ahead and Encarnacion drew a bases-lead walk to make it 4-2.

Adam Lind had a run-scoring single to right, Munenori Kawasaki drove in one on a fielder’s choice, Anthony Gose was hit by a pitch and Josh Thole capped the inning with an RBI single. Encarnacion added a mammoth two-run blast in the sixth to expand the lead to eight.

GAME NOTEBOOK: 2B Robinson Cano had a two-run single in the third for Seattle’s runs. … Encarnacion has six RBIs in the series and is three shy of his third straight 100-RBI season. … Hernandez is 1-3 over his last eight starts and the eight earned runs allowed matched his career high.
