TORONTO (AP) — Jose Bautista homered and reached base four times, J.A. Happ won for the first time in four starts and the Toronto Blue Jays dealt a blow to Seattle's wild card hopes, routing the Mariners 14-4 Monday night.

Bautista went 3 for 3 with a walk and drove in two runs before getting the rest of the night off. His solo homer off the facing of the second deck in the fifth, against Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen, was his 35th.

Kevin Pillar hit a two-run homer and Anthony Gose added a solo blast as the Blue Jays handed Seattle its third straight defeat. The 14 runs were the most by a Mariners opponent this season.

Seattle gained ground on Kansas City in the wild-card race before taking the field when the Royals lost to Cleveland in a game that had been suspended from Aug. 31.

Not much went right for the Mariners after that.

Happ (10-11) allowed an RBI double by Robinson Cano in the first, and Kyle Seager's solo homer in the sixth, but was otherwise sharp. The left-hander walked one and struck out five in seven innings for his first victory since Aug. 31.

Seattle's James Paxton (6-4) allowed a career-high nine runs, walked a career-high six and matched a career-high by giving up seven hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest career start.

Paxton came in not having allowed more than three runs in any of his 15 previous starts. That streak ended quickly when he allowed four runs in the first, three of them on a bases-loaded triple by Danny Valencia.

Paxton, a left-hander from British Columbia was drafted by Toronto in 2009 but did not sign, and played in an independent league before the Mariners drafted him in 2010. Monday marked his first start against Toronto, and his first career appearance in Canada.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Mariners: LHP Roenis Elias (elbow) has been shut down for the season. The rookie made 29 starts for Seattle, but left his Sept. 16 outing against the Los Angeles Angels after three innings because of soreness.

Blue Jays: Adam Lind (back) missed his third straight game, with John Mayberry Jr. starting at first base. Manager John Gibbons said he expects Lind to be able to return Tuesday.

UP NEXT

Mariners RHP Felix Hernandez (14-5) faces Blue Jays RHP R.A. Dickey (13-12) on Tuesday. Hernandez is 5-5 with a 4.63 ERA in 12 career starts against Toronto.
