SEATTLE -- The Seattle bullpen had been an Achilles heel this season, but a series of changes and the emergence of rookie closer Edwin Diaz seem to have shored up that part of the Mariners.Diaz, 22, has earned four saves on five nights and probably wont be available when the Mariners (56-53) host the Los Angeles Angels in the finale of a three-game series at Safeco Field on Sunday. Even without Diaz, the Seattle bullpen has been pretty strong as of late, particularly during the teams four wins over its past five games.That hasnt stopped the Mariners from making moves to address the bullpen. Seattle added two more relievers in right-hander Arquimedes Caminero and switch-pitcher Pat Venditte on Saturday.Were kind of piecing it together down there, manager Scott Servais said after the Mariners second consecutive comeback win Saturday night. ... Our bullpen kept us right there (Saturday) when it could have gotten away from us.The Angels (49-61) have their own set of problems in the bullpen, and they cropped up again Saturday night as Los Angeles squandered another early lead. Jose Valdez, called up from Triple-A before the game, walked three of the four batters he faced and ended up taking the loss on a night when the Angels held leads of 3-0 and 6-2.Its been an ongoing problem for a Los Angeles team that has been ravaged by injuries to its starting rotation.Everything thats happened in our bullpen is directly connected to our rotation, manager Mike Scioscia said.The bullpen woes have overshadowed a Los Angeles offense that has been performing well lately. Part of the Angels recent success has to do with reliable center fielder Mike Trout. He went 2-for-3 with a home run, a triple and four RBI on Saturday night and is 10-for-21 in his last seven games since July 30. Trout celebrates his 25th birthday Sunday while enjoying another impressive season from an individual standpoint. Hes among the American League leaders in batting average, hits, doubles, RBI, on-base percentage and OPS. He ranked among the top 10 in major league history in home runs (160), runs scored (565), extra-base hits (363) and walks (436) before the age of 25.Trout and the Angels face a Sunday starter whos coming off one of his best outings of the season. Seattle left-hander James Paxton allowed just one run over eight innings his last time out.The bigger question is who will finish the game for the Mariners. Diaz has gotten plenty of work since supplanting struggling veteran Steve Cishek as closer, and Seattle also had to use former closers Tom Wilhelmsen and Drew Storen on Saturday.The Angels plan to start right-hander Matt Shoemaker (6-11, 4.08 ERA). After that, the Los Angeles rotation is in a state of flux with veteran Tim Lincecum being designated for assignment before Saturdays game.Where Tim is now, Scioscia said, and where he needs to be, theres a big gap there.Lincecum, who was trying to make a comeback at age 32, had a 9.16 ERA after nine starts with the Angels.

After meeting behind closed doors for more than an hour Tuesday, Toronto blew an 8-3 lead through six innings in losing their sixth straight game, 10-9 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Adrian Gonzalezs three-run home run keyed a four-run eighth as the Dodgers won their fifth in a row and 22nd in 27 games. "It doesnt get any worse than that to be honest with you, considering where were at," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, whose team has lost 13 of its last 17. "Games like that are going to happen every now and then but its really magnified now. We had a nice little lead, nine outs to go and we were in the drivers seat. "Our bullpen has been very good but they kept coming after us, they have a pretty good lineup. We made a run late, but by then it was too late." Andre Ethier and Jerry Hairston Jr. also homered as the Dodgers (52-47) won a ninth straight road game to match their longest streak since July 2004. Gonzalez, Ethier and Mark Ellis each had three RBIs for Los Angeles. Hairston homered in the sixth and Gonzalez erased an 8-6 deficit with a drive to centre off Darren Oliver (3-2) in the eighth, his 15th. One out later, Ethier went deep for the seventh time. The Blue Jays (45-54) continue to disappoint after opening the season with great expectations. "Its definitely not how we drew it up, but thats why you have to play the game on the field," Oliver said. "We definitely have to turn it around so we can enjoy the last two and a half months." Jose Reyes had a two-run home run and three RBIs for the Blue Jays, while Jose Bautista and Mark DeRosa hit solo shots. Brett Lawrie and Bautista each had two RBIs. "You have to tip your hat when a team comes out swinging like that and can score some runs with some home runs, " Bautista said. "Theres nothing that we can do about it at times. We scored nine runs and thats normally enough and our pitchers are not going to give up home runs but some days are like that." Bautista declined to discuss details of the meeting. "Sometimes teams just have to get together and kind of air some things out," he said. "Teammates have to know what everybody is thinking whats in everybodys head. Today was a good day to do it. "After the (all-star) break we were hoping to come out of the gate strong and we didnt. So it was a good time to do it. It went well, we aired some things out. I like to keep it private. I certainly wont discuss the details of what we talked about." Former Toronto reliever Brandon League (4-3) pitched two-thirds of an inning to pick up the win. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 12th save despite allowing a run. Down 10-8 in the ninth, the Blue Jays made a push when J.P. Arencibia singled home Adam Lind, but Lawrie ended the game with a fly to the warning track in left. "Were fighters," Bautista said. "We showed it today. We scored a lot of runs and theey went ahead and we still tried to battle back.dddddddddddd Unfortunately we came up a little short. We have a lot of great capable baseball players in this room. "Were not getting the results right now." Blue Jays starter Todd Redmond held the Dodgers to three runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings, while Dodgers counterpart Chris Capuano allowed five runs on seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. "I thought (Redmond) did a great job, he gave us what we needed, " Gibbons said. "Its not an easy lineup to face and he held them in check." The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a single by Lawrie, a double by Reyes and a single by Bautista. The Dodgers tied the game 2-2 in the fourth on infield hits to third by Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez, a double by Ethier that scored one run and a single by Ellis that plated another. The Blue Jays regained their two-run edge in the bottom of the inning on DeRosas fifth homer of the season, a double by Rajai Davis, an infield single by Arencibia and a sacrifice fly by Lawrie. Bautista then hit his 23rd homer of the season in the fifth to put the Blue Jays up 5-2 and chase Capuano in favour of Carlos Marmol. Hairston made it 5-3 with his solo homer in the sixth and Brett Cecil came out of the Toronto bullpen to replace Redmond after Tim Federowicz doubled. The Blue Jays added three runs in the sixth against Marmol and looked to be cruising. Lawrie singled home Arencibia and he came around on Reyes fifth homer of the season. "You dont feel great when youre down 8-3 there but you also know youve got three innings." Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Weve been throwing up some big innings lately." Down by five, the Dodgers didnt quit. They scored three in the seventh to cut the lead to 8-6 on singles by Puig, Gonzalez and walks to Ramirez and Ethier that forced in a run. After Dustin McGowan replaced Cecil, Ellis greeted him with a two-run single before Hairston was hit by a pitch to load the bases again. McGowan struck out Federowicz and then got the force at home on a close play to end the inning and keep Toronto up by two before Gonzalaz gave L.A. the lead. "That ball was crushed," Mattingly said. "For me, Adrians been our guy all year. I know Hanley (Ramirez) has been really hot but Adrian has just been there the whole season for us. He doesnt get the same attention because hes kind of been consistent." Notes: Attendance at Rogers Centre was 32,158. ...
