TORONTO - There were several bright spots in Torontos 10-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre. Caleb Sturgis Chargers Jersey .Canadian Dalton Pompey hit his first career home run. Edwin Encarnacion belted his 34th homer of the season. Jose Bautista scored three times and R.A. Dickey had his sixth straight quality start.The smiles faded shortly after the game when Kansas City completed a 7-1 win over Cleveland, a result that officially eliminated Toronto from post-season contention.The Blue Jays had been clinging to faint playoff hopes for the last two weeks. A second straight blowout win was nice for the 16,272 fans in attendance, but it meant little for a team that remains stuck in a long playoff drought.Having not gotten to the post-season again with a team that I felt was very capable, of course were all disappointed and we should be, Dickey said. Everyone in here should be disappointed. So youve got to learn, youve got to grow, youve got to look for opportunities to see how you can improve and get better or the season is lost.Pompey, from Mississauga, Ont., belted a no-doubt shot to deep right field off Felix Hernandez to kick off a seven-run fifth inning. Encarnacion added a two-run shot in the sixth for Toronto (80-77).It was a rare off-night for Hernandez (14-6), a leading contender in the American League Cy Young Award race. He tied a career high by allowing eight earned runs over 4 2/3 innings.Hernandezs earned-run average jumped from 2.07 to 2.34 in his shortest start of the season.As an ace, I take responsibility, he said. I let my team down. Thats my fault.The loss dealt a blow to Seattles playoff hopes. The Mariners (83-74) fell three games behind Kansas City in the race for the second American League wild-card spot.Were not playing well right now, said Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon. A lot of things are going wrong, but were still alive.Dickey (14-12) breezed through the first two innings before getting into trouble in the third. Victoria native Michael Saunders led off with a double and moved to third on Brad Millers one-out single.Austin Jackson walked to load the bases and Robinson Cano drove in two runs with a single that eluded a diving Ryan Goins at second base.The Blue Jays batted around in the fifth inning. Pompey got things started by launching a 3-1 pitch into the second deck in right field.It was kind of a shock for a moment, he said. Like who was pitching, the ball I hit. I played with that guy in video games you know.To think I just hit a home run off him was pretty crazy.Hernandez was pulled after walking Pompey later in the inning. The seven earned runs allowed in one inning were a career high for the veteran right-hander.Dickey, meanwhile, allowed two earned runs, walked a pair and had six strikeouts over seven innings. Brett Cecil and Casey Janssen each pitched an inning of scoreless relief. The Blue Jays will close out the season with two more games against Seattle before a weekend series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Toronto hasnt reached the post-season since winning a second straight World Series title in 1993.I wont reflect one bit, Ive been doing it for six months, said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. What sticks out? I dont know a€” a lot of good times, a lot of tough times.Like Ive said, in the end teams that get there, earn it. The best teams go. The ones that arent, they dont go. Thats just the way it is when you play that many games.Notes: Gibbons has pencilled in his rotation for the rest of the season. Mark Buehrle will start Wednesday and Daniel Norris will get the nod in Thursdays series finale. Drew Hutchison is tabbed to pitch Friday against Baltimore, followed by J.A. Happ on Saturday and Dickey on Sunday. Marcus Stroman will be available out of the bullpen, Gibbons said. ...
