TORONTO - J.A. Happ pitched seven innings, Danny Valencia drove in three runs with a triple and Jose Bautista, Kevin Pillar and Anthony Gose homered as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 14-4 on Monday. Happ (10-11) became the fifth Blue Jays starter to reach double numbers in wins this season as the left-hander allowed eight hits, including a home run by Kyle Seager, and two runs. It is the first time the Blue Jays (79-77) have had five starters win at least 10 games in one season. It is the third time they have had five pitchers with at least 10 wins when relievers are included. James Paxton (6-4) did not survive the third inning in his first major-league game against the Blue Jays. He allowed seven hits, six walks and nine runs (eight earned) in 2 2-3 innings. Paxton, who is from Ladner, B.C., was a first-round pick by Toronto in the 2009 draft. A deal could not be reached and Paxton was picked in the fourth round in the 2010 draft by the Mariners. The Blue Jays led 4-1 after the first inning and 9-1 after three innings to hand Seattle (83-73) its third loss in a row. The Mariners scored a run in the first when Robinson Cano doubled home Austin Jackson led off with an infield single. The Blue Jays scored four in their first on a bases-loaded triple by Valencia with one out and a two-out single by Steve Tolleson. Toronto loaded the bases with one out on a single by Bautista and walks by Edwin Encarnacion, a wild pitch, and a walk by Dioner Navarro. That set up Valencias triple, which was not without some controversy. He was given the triple when a video review determined he was safe after the Blue Jays challenged the out call. Toronto chased Paxton in the five-run third to increase their lead to 9-1. Valencia led off with a double. John Mayberry walked and Tolleson sacrificed the runners to second and third. Pillar then walked with two out to load the bases. Jose Reyes singled off the glove of third baseman Seager to drive in a run, followed by Bautista walking to force in a run. Right-hander Brandon Maurer took over for Seattle. A passed ball scored Pillar and Encarnacion scored two runs on a single deflected by Seager. The Blue Jays scored an unearned run in the fourth on singles by Tolleson and Dalton Pompey, a native of Mississauga, Ont., and a throwing error by shortstop Chris Taylor. Bautista hit his 35th homer of the season to lead off the fifth against Tom Wilhelmsen. Bautista moved past George Bell and tied Joe Carter for third on the Blue Jays all-time list with 203 homers. Seager hit his 25th homer of the season in the sixth to cut the lead to 11-2. Pillar hit his first homer of the season, with Pompey on first after an infield single, against left-hander Lucas Luetge in the sixth. Gose, who entered the game among the seventh-inning defensive changes, hit his second homer of the season in the seventh against right-hander Danny Farquhar. Rookie right-hander Kendall Graveman allowed a run in the eighth. Toronto reliever Sean Nolin allowed a homer to Chris Denorfia in the ninth.

Luke Schenn was picked 12 spots ahead of Jake Gardiner. Looming this summer for Dave Nonis and Toronto management is a decision similar to the one faced when it came to Schenn - deciding when to cut bait with a high-upside, but potentially flawed prospect. Then-Leafs general manager Brian Burke made the choice at just the right time with Schenn, who is back in town on Saturday, sending him to Philadelphia for James van Riemsdyk, the one-time second-overall selection who had yet to blossom as a Flyer. Gardiner has stalled in his third NHL season, only sparingly resembling the emphatic, change-of-pace defender he was in the playoffs last spring and before that, as a rookie, under then-head coach Ron Wilson. Like Schenn, the 23-year-old was viewed very recently as a concrete piece of the Leafs future, a status that has muddied with each game gone by, his performance wavering uncertainly in each of the past two seasons. Gardiner, whose name has been floated in trade rumours constantly, is a restricted free agent this summer and its at that point that a choice will definitively be made on his future with the Leafs. Though he still leads the team in even-strength ice-time this season, he has seen his opportunities consistently plummet; from a season-high of nearly 24 minutes nightly in December down to less than 21 in January to fewer than 19 in February and now to a season-low of about 17 in early March. Theres upside there – his elite skating ability most prominent – and the Leafs know it, but in some doubt now is whether that upside can be unlocked or whether the former Wisconsin star is too flawed in other areas to make him worth hanging onto, especially with younger defenders like Morgan Rielly, Stuart Percy and Matt Finn already in the prospect chain. Unlike Nazem Kadri, who tested the organizations patience, but eventually offered sustained stretches of development, Gardiners play has been mostly erratic since his rookie debut. There was a six-game spell in the playoffs against Boston with other hints proving infrequent. Its well established that defencemen typically take longer to mature than forwards – Drew Doughty and Erik Karlsson among the notable exceptions – all of which complicates the decision-making process when it comes to Gardiner. His inconsistent play in the past two seasons may be just be part of the development curve. Once a defenceman himself, head coach Randy Carlyle joked that it took "too long" for him to finally mature into a well-rounded NHL defender, offering insight into why the process lingers at the position.dddddddddddd "I think because you handle the puck more," said Carlyle, who won a Norris Trophy in his fifth season. "Theres more pressure on a defenceman in the game to handle the puck and make the right decision with the puck and youre constantly under pressure from the opposition trying to strip you of the puck, body-check, all of those things…" Tim Gleason, a 31-year-old and member of the 2010 U.S. Olympic team in Vancouver, said it was only a few years ago that he found his bearings at the NHL level. His response as to why it took as long as it did mirrored Carlyle. "The more you do it the more used to it you get and it slows down a tiny bit," he told the Leaf Report. "Its different than being a forward; you have pressure on you instead of giving pressure. As a forward, youre taught to pressure the puck as quick as you can, as fast as you can. As a defenceman, your job is to protect the puck, get the puck out being under pressure. I think thats a big deal." Gardiner has struggled in that regard. His decision-making with the puck and, even without it, has been flawed. Hes made wholehearted attempts to make "smarter plays with the puck," "not making so many turnovers and or, at least, not in bad areas," but its remained an ongoing issue anyway. At Carlyles prodding, hs also tried to become a stiffer defender, stating his intent to work on things such as "having one hand on my stick, body position, finishing checks." Hes watched a lot of video, too, even pulling his performance from that memorable series against the Bruins at one point earlier this year. Its tantalizing performances like that – when he had five points in six games – that surely give Nonis and his team pause when it comes to moving on from Gardiner. Schenn was dealt only nine months after he signed a rich, five-year deal with the Leafs. It was determined that his shortcomings – foot speed specifically – would ultimately keep him from reaching the promise that saw the club move up two spots to select him in the 08 draft. With his value still at a point where it could seemingly fetch some sort of return, Gardiners shortcomings could force another such decision in the months ahead. The Toronto defence has been a source of instability all year and will certainly require an upgrade or two in the offseason. Whether Gardiner and Cody Franson, a fellow restricted free agent, fit into that mix remains to be seen. Four members of the Leaf back-end are signed beyond this season – Gleason, Rielly, Dion Phaneuf and Carl Gunnarsson – all seemingly on more solid ground within the organization than either Gardiner or Franson. Theres upside there with the Minnesota native. In question is whether the Leafs will keep waiting for it. ' ' '
