    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:At least the Blueeld Blue Jays wrapped up a disappointing weekend on a high note. Playing their third doubleheader in four games, the Jayslost game one to the Danville Braves 5-4 and were ofcially eliminated from playoff contention. They recovered to pull out a 3-2 win in the nale to avoid a ve-game sweep atAmerican Legion Post 325 Field on Sunday. Daniel Norris started the opener for Blueeld and allowed ve runs, only three earned, in three and one-third innings. Danville jumpout to a 2-0 lead only three batters into the game after two soft singles and Josh Elanders two-run triple. Norris (2-3) settled in to retire nine of the next 12, ve on strikes, befothe Braves scratched two runs in the fourth inning. With standout reliever Wil Browning called up to Vancouver, Brandon Kaye was called up from the Gulf Coast League to replahim and he had an impressive debut. Kaye nished the game with two and two-thirds scoreless innings as he allowed only two hits. Down 5-0, the Jays could not push anythinacross in the rst four innings against starter Ernesto Silva, but they busted out with four runs in the fth to make it a game. Jacob Anderson and Emilio Guerrero singled beforeDavis doubled in a run. Dickie Thon lifted a sacrice y and Christian Lopes followed with a two-run homer to cut the lead to 5-4. Silva (W, 4-1) was done after ve innings andhanded the game to reliever Alex Wilson. Singles by Santiago Nessy and Nico Taylor put the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the sixth inning, but Anderson and Guerrero strout to end the threat. Wilson (S, 2) pitched a perfect seventh to lock down a six-out save and eliminate the Jays from the playoff race. Blueeld won the East Division last year tmake the postseason for the rst time since 2002, but this season will not be a repeat. Blueeld salvaged the nightcap behind a combined two-hitter from Grifn Murphy and LWilliams. In his rst start of the season, Murphy turned in four and one-third innings of one-hit ball. He struck out seven and only allowed an unearned run. The lefty has now to25 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The Jays plated two runs in the second against Rafael Briceno. Seth Conner and Nico Taylor singled and Matt Dean put visitors on the board with a single to score Conner. With Dean at rst and Taylor at third, the Jays pulled off a perfectly-executed delayed double steal. Dean broke for second awhen catcher Troy Snitker threw down, Taylor darted in with a steal of home. A sacrice y from Conner in the third inning made it 3-0 against Briceno (L, 3-2), who struck outeight in four innings. After Murphy excelled on the hill, Les Williams (W, 2-1) picked up where he left off and nished the gem. Williams got through the fth inning and worked a1-2-3 sixth. Carlos Franco started the seventh with a bloop double that fell just inside the left eld line. He moved up and scored on two groundouts to trim the Blueeld lead toWilliams struck out Blake Brown to end it.

    VS. THE MARINERS:The Blue Jays and Mariners opened the month of July with a rain-shortened two-game split at Bowen Field before the Jays took two of three inPulaski. The Mariners were down to their nal strike in the July 1 contest trailing 3-2, but Brock Hebert and Martin Peguero stroked RBI singles off Colby Broussard to give theMs the shocking win. The Jays responded the next night with a thrilling 2-1 victory. Jorge Vega-Rosado and Seth Conner had RBI singles, but it was the stellar pitching of JereGabryszwski (4 IP, 0 R, 3 H), Roberto Osuna (3 IP, 1 R, 3 H) and Julio Carmona (six-out save) that won the day. The July 3 rubber game was rained out. From July 11-13, Bluevisited Calfee Park and notched one of its two road series wins. The Jays won the opener 4-2 behind six shutout innings from Deivy Estrada. Pulaski handed the Jays anotherstunning defeat the following night, scoring two runs in the bottom of the tenth. It was Blueelds fourth loss in 12 days in a game that they were one strike away from winningJays rocked the Ms in the rubber game 12-3. Blueeld won the 2011 season series against the Mariners 6-3, including wins in the nal four head-to-head contests. Pulaski wtwo of three at home from July 21-23, taking the rubber game on Bryan Britos walk-off single in the tenth. From August 12-14, the Jays evened the season set by winning anoroad series. The nal three games were at Bowen Field from August 19-21, with the Jays taking all of them by a combined score of 27-11.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -GONZALEZ: Six-foot-ve left-hander Alonzo Gonzalez makes his Appalachian League debut after being called up from the Gulf Coast League on Wednesday.

    DEAN:Centralia, Washington native Levi Dean was drafted in the 23rd round by his hometown Mariners in June and will make his rst start of 2012 after 13 relief outingsstruggled early in his rst professional season with an ERA approaching 11 through his rst nine appearances.
