Baseball Betting Lines
07/22/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roy Halladay pitched a three-hit shutout as the Toronto Blue Jays blanked the Seattle Mariners, 8-0, in the finale of a three-game set at the Rogers Centre.
Halladay (11-4) was dominant throughout, needing just two hours, seven minutes to dismiss the Mariners. He struck out three and walked one.
Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer while Gregg Zaun and Aaron Hill also went deep for Toronto, which has won three of its last four contests.
Zaun scored three times, and Alex Rios finished with two RBI.
Felix Hernandez (6-6) was tagged for six runs on seven hits over six frames for the Mariners, who have dropped two in a row. Kenji Johjima, Adrian Beltre and Jason Ellison were the only Mariners to muster a hit off Halladay.
Seattle was shut out by Toronto on Saturday as well, and have now been held off the scoreboard five different times this season.
The Blue Jays put up five runs in the fifth to forge ahead. With the bases loaded and one out, Rios came through with a single to left that plated both Zaun and Royce Clayton.
Glaus stepped in next and cracked a three-run shot to left-center to up the lead to 5-0.
Zaun added a leadoff homer in the sixth, his fourth long ball of the year, to give Toronto a six-run advantage.
Hill's homer and Lyle Overbay's sacrifice fly in the eighth capped the scoring, and gave Halladay more than enough breathing room.
