Mariners rally past Toronto in 9th

SEATTLE - Luis Rodrguez hit a 3-run single in the bottom of the ninth to rally the Seattle Mariners past the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 late Monday night at Safeco Field.

Felix Hernandez allowed 12 hits and seven earned runs in his six inning of work and was on the bench before the Mariners bats woke up and made a game of it late.

Corey Patterson's 2-run home run in the sixth off Hernandez gave the Blue Jays a 7-0 lead, but the Mariners rallied for five runs in the eighth, highlighted by Justin Smoak's 2-run single to bring Seattle to within one run, 7-6.

Milton Bradley had a solo homer to put the Mariners on the board in the seventh.
