TORONTO -- J.A. Happ will be going for his career-best 13th win of the season on Sunday.The Toronto Blue Jays left-hander has another mission, preventing a three-game sweep by the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre.The Mariners defeated the Blue Jays 14-5 Saturday and have won the first two games of the series. Happ will be facing a Mariners team that is growing in confidence with four wins it the last five games.Left-hander Wade Miley will be starting for Seattle and will have a tough act to follow after the performances of starters James Paxton and Hisashi Iwakuma in the first two games.Its going to be starting pitching that allows us to get on a streak and they have done it, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Guys have kept us in a game and have done a nice job, and it gives our offense a chance to get going.When our left-handed team is in there, were pretty good, especially against bullpens and middle relief stuff. Hopefully well get after it (Sunday).We havent (won four of five) in a while. Its nice to see confidence. Guys are loose and feeling good about where theyre at right now. Again, its driven by the starting pitching and hopefully well get a good one, tomorrow, as well.The Mariners will be facing a good starter in Happ and one who is familiar to them, The Blue Jays traded Happ to the Mariners for outfielder Michael Saunders after the 2014 season.Seattle then traded Happ to the Pittsburgh Pirates last July 31 and the Blue Jays signed him in the offseason as a free agent.Saunders, who missed most of last season because of a knee injury, has three home runs in his first two games against his former team, including two on Saturday.Happ already has equaled his career best with 12 wins, a total he first achieved in 2009 with the Philadelphia Phillies, when he was 12-4 with a 2.93 ERA in 35 games, including 23 starts.This season he is 12-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 19 starts.Happ is a changed pitcher, more consistent than he was and also not so prone on dwelling on mistakes.Im beating myself up a little bit less over poor performances, he said. Im taking the negatives and positives in stride, rather than dwelling on the bad.I certainly still get upset and carry things. But I think Ive gotten better as my careers gone on and I think thats helped me turn the page and look forward to the next game, rather than worry about the last one.Happ had a six-start winning streak stopped last Sunday when he did not factor in the decision in Torontos 5-3 victory at Oakland. He allowed five hits, one walk and five runs in 5? innings.In his last seven starts, he is 6-0 with a 3.19 ERA.Happ was 4-6 with a 4.64 ERA in 21 games, including 20 starts, with Seattle last season. After being traded to the Pirates, he was 7-2 with a 1.85 ERA in 11 starts.In three career starts against Seattle, he is 1-1 with a 6.35 ERA.Miley (6-7, 5.38 ERA) will make his 18th start of the season and his fifth start since being reinstated from the disabled list (left shoulder impingement). He is 0-5 with a 5.60 ERA in his last five starts dating to June 12. On Tuesday he allowed six hits and three runs in 6? innings in a loss to the Chicago White Sox. That was good enough to earn him another chance on Sunday.In four career starts against Toronto, he is 1-2 with a 6.98 ERA. In his last two starts against the Blue Jays he is 1-0 with a 4.63 ERA. Sarah Gorden Jersey . The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. Margaret Purce Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/912w-vanessa-dibernardo-jersey-usa.html . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Denise Bender Jersey . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. Adrianna Franch Jersey . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Goals from skipper Alex Brosque and Milos Ninkovic set Sydney FC up for a 2-0 A-League win over Newcastle on Saturday, after the side battled a virus all week.The competition pacesetters have now tallied a maximum 12 points from their season-opening four games and have still yet to concede a goal in the campaign.It was done despite a virus forcing Arnold into making his first change to the line-up all season, inserting Brosque in for a sick David Carney.Hes been sick since we got back from Wellington (last week), so he basically only trained yesterday for a half hour and that was it, Arnold said.Ninkovic was sick today as well. Weve had a bit of a virus go through the team over the last few weeks where players have missed sessions through training.If anything, that was a bit of a concern for me, coming into this game. But again, weve got the depth and the quality that we can deal with it.For the injury-ravaged Jets, the loss in front of 11,873 fans at McDonald Jones Stadium was their first of the year and easily their worst outing of the season.The defeat for rookie coach Mark Jones was compounded by a possible knee injury to Ben Kantarovski, who had to be helped from the fielld late in the game.ddddddddddddIt appeared to be an cruisy day at the office early for the visitors, who dominated possession and field position seemingly at will.And it was a clinical Brosque who eventually got on the scoresheet with his third goal of the season.Defender Michael Zullo charged onto an aerial ball in the 7th minute that fell to Milos Ninkovic, and he duly dinked over for a cutting Brosque into an empty box.Immediately after the break, Ninkovic fired in his second goal in as many weeks.A long-range effort from Newcastles Filip Holosko could only be parried into the path of Ninkovic, who slotted home a straightforward chance to double his teams lead.Jets coach Mark Jones admitted a miss from Steve Ugarkovic just before the break was a game-changer.We had a glorious opportunity at halftime. Ninety-nine times out of 100 Stevie scores that and if we score that, we come in at 1-1 and everythings fine, he said.The second goal, that was difficult and that was disappointing. We turned it over in dangerous areas and we paid a price for that. ' ' '
