SEATTLE -- Brandon Morrow is a different pitcher than he was two years ago when the Seattle Mariners gave up on him and shipped him to the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade. Red Joplo Bartu Home Atlanta Falcons Jersey Womens Nike NFL Game . He proved that Wednesday night, holding his former team to three hits and one run over six innings in the Blue Jays 5-1 victory. Morrow was supported by three home runs. Edwin Encarnacion homered to open the second, Adam Lind had a three-run shot in the third and Colby Rasmus led off the fourth with his second. The Jays went deep eight times in the three-game series. Morrow (9-7), who didnt allow a hit until there were two outs in the fourth, struck out a season-high 12. Its the fourth time this season he has struck out 10 or more. "Ive changed a lot in two years, not my pitching style necessarily," Morrow said, "but my ability to do what I want with the ball has improved. And my ability to stay in the zone and my ability to stay in the game." This marked the first time Morrow had faced his former team in Seattle, which selected him in the first round of the 2006 draft. He was traded before the 2010 season for current Mariners closer Brandon League. He did not pitch in the Jays visit last season. "I dont think I necessarily pitched up to my ability when I was here," he said. "Ive improved. I enjoyed my time here. It was sad to leave but it ended up to be a good move for both sides." One pitch Morrow regrets throwing was a 97 mph fastball that hit Casper Wells in the face in the sixth inning. Wells, who had his streak of four home runs in four straight games ended, turned his head as the ball approached and was fortunate that it tagged the tip of his nose. Blood poured out as the trainer escorted him off the field. X-rays were negative. "I couldnt tell live where it hit him and the way he reacted I was worried about him," Morrow said. "Im glad hes all right." Wells, with cotton balls stuffed up his nostrils after the game, said, "I have a headache. My nose feels humungous but I think Ill be all right." Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Wells and the club "dodged a bullet." "He should be OK. It hit him in the nose, so it was fortunate it wasnt broken," he said. "Anytime you get up there, its scary." Jesse Litsch, Casey Janssen and Frank Francisco each worked a hitless inning of relief. Encarnacion hit a 1-2 pitch from Blake Beavan (3-4) for his 12th home run. Over his last 19 games, hes hitting .386. Lind, also down in the count at 0-2, connected on his 22nd for a 4-0 lead after three. He has three home runs and 10 RBIs over his last eight games. Beavan went just five innings, throwing 98 pitches. He allowed five runs on six hits. In his last two starts, he has allowed 11 runs and 17 hits in 11 1-3 innings. "The way Brandon came through from the first pitch, he was extremely powerful," Jays manager John Farrell said. "He had his full assortment of pitches. Just an explosive fastball. To think where hes come from in two years time. He has settled into a role here. He was overpowering for his six innings tonight." Morrow acknowledged that there was "some extra incentive, some extra little adrenaline" pitching against his old team. He also was helped by the early lead, allowing him to be more aggressive. "He had four pitches working," Wedge said. "He had a live fastball. It was jumping on us a bit. They made him work a little bit. Thats probably why the ball got away from him late. He was wearing down a little bit." Morrow held the Mariners hitless until two outs in the fourth when Mike Carp roped a clean single to right. Carp has been a tough out since he arrived from triple-A July 19. The single extended his hitting streak to 17 games. He is hitting .379 with four home runs and 18 RBIs during the streak. Carp also has reached base safely in 26 straight games. The Mariners finally reached Morrow in the sixth. With one out, Ichiro Suzuki beat out an infield single. He moved to second on a wild pitch and came home on Franklin Gutierrezs double off the left-centre wall. The threat continued as Ackley walked. With two outs, Wells was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Adam Kennedy replaced him. Morrow then struck out Trayvon Robinson, looking, for his 12th. NOTES: The Mariners finished off their July 30 trade with Detroit with the acquisition of RHP Chance Ruffin. He was the player to be named in the deal that sent RHP Doug Fister and RH David Pauley to the Tigers for Wells, LHP Charlie Furbush and INF Francisco Martinez. To make room on the roster, LHP Aaron Laffey was designated for assignment. Ruffin, 22, a supplement draft pick last June (48th overall), is the son of former big league pitcher Bruce Ruffin. ... C Miguel Olivo, hit on the chin by a foul ball Tuesday, did not start but was available to play for the Mariners ... Jays RHP Dustin McGowan, on a rehab assignment (shoulder surgery) with Double-A New Hampshire, threw four scoreless innings Tuesday, allowing just four hits with 57 pitches. "Next time out well look to increase by an inning or an additional 10 pitches," Farrell said. "The velocity is still there, up to 97. Another very encouraging and positive outing." ...

"I like the toughness factor in certain situations where last year and two years ago wed get bumped, get hit [and] wouldnt respond," Casey said an hour and a half before facing the league-best Thunder, a team that hadnt yet lost at home. Nike Elite Josh Wilson Womens Jersey Atlanta Falcons Road White . Ekblad led all defencemen with 23 goals and finished tied for fifth in scoring among blue-liners with 53 points in 58.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Cam Atkinson scored two goals and Sergei Bobrovsky continued his hot streak to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Washington Capitals 5-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory. The Capitals, who got a goal from John Carlson, have lost four in a row and 11 of 15. Ryan Johansen added a goal and assist, James Wisniewski had a goal, Mark Letestu scored for the fifth time in six games and Jack Johnson had two assists for the Blue Jackets, who had lost their past five meetings with Washington. The victory moved the Blue Jackets to two points out of playoff position with at least one game in hand on every team ahead of them in the Metropolitan Division and wild-card playoff races. Bobrovsky, who came in 5-0-0 with a 1.45 goals-against average and a .954 save percentage in his past five starts, had 26 saves. He stood tall to frustrate the Capitals when the game was still up for grabs. The Capitals came in tied with Pittsburgh for the best power-play unit in the league. But it was the Blue Jackets who scored twice with a man advantage. At 12:08 of the first, Wisniewski one-timed a hard drive from the point that climbed over Philipp Grubauers glove. It was Wisniewskis first power-play goal and fourth tally of the season. In the final minute of the opening period, the Blue Jackets crowded the nets and benefited. Matt Calvert got two whacks at the puck from the crease, Grubauer deflecting each. Defenceman Dmitry Orlov then whiffed on an attempt to clear the puck, with Atkinson hopping on it to lift the puck into the net over a diving Grubauer for his 14th of the season. The Blue Jackets stretched it to 3-0 at 1:44 of the second. R.J. UUmberger carried the puck through the neutral zone and then pulled up in the right corner, sending a pass to the high slot for Johansen.Womens Drew Davis Atlanta Falcons NFL Jersey Red Nike Elite Home. He slid laterally, waiting for an opening, before wristing a shot for his team-high 18th of the season. Grubauer was pulled after allowing three goals on 14 shots, replaced by Braden Holtby. The Capitals got on the board at 8:53 on what appeared to be an innocent shot. Carlsons shot from near the blue line that took a while to get to the net, but it still beat Bobrovsky. It was the defencemans eighth goal of the season. The Blue Jackets killed off two Washington power plays late in the second period, including 18 seconds when the Capitals had a 5 on 3 advantage. Bobrovsky was at his best during this stretch. He twice stymied Russian Olympic teammate Alexander Ovechkin, the NHLs leading scorer with 34 goals, on power-play shots -- once on a one-timer from the left dot and a second time when the Columbus defence broke down and the three-time goal-scoring champ was all alone on a shot that Bobrovsky deflected wide off his catcher. Columbus then added two goals in the third. Letestu wired a wrister inside the near post past Holtby on the power play. Then Atkinson used his skate to settle a hard pass from close range, spun and whipped a quick shot into the net from the high slot -- 3 seconds after the end of an Ovechkin penalty. Notes: Washington C Brooks Laich played in his 600th NHL game. ... It was Columbus Todd Richards 300th game as an NHL head coach. ... The Blue Jackets have been off since Monday, while the Capitals were playing their third game in four days. ...
