Goins' hit caps comeback as Blue Jays beat Indians 8-7

It was his seventh start of the season; Liriano finished the night with a 6.35 ERA after allowing seven runs off five hits.

The Mariners have won six of their past seven games.

"We've been knocking on the door a lot and now we're finally knocking that door down", Goins said. Jose Bautista smashed a three-run home run in the first after Cleveland had notched two immediate runs off of Liriano.

Things settled down significantly after those early fireworks, until the Jays loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth, setting up Goins.

Jason Kipnis and Brandon Guyer each had three RBIs for the Indians.

Right fielder Ezequiel Carrera slapped a one-out single into center field to start the rally, and after designated hitter Jose Bautista struck out swinging, Allen got two strikes on both first baseman Justin Smoak and left fielder Steve Pearce, but could no longer locate the strike zone and gave up the consecutive free passes.

Gibbons said of Goins, "I think it's just the fact that he's out there a lot".

The Seattle Mariners look for another victory to get a game above a.500 record. (The win) was big.

"The second inning I kind of lost it a little bit", Bolsinger said. "The walks are killing me, the deep counts are killing me, and tonight it cost us a chance to win a ball game". You've got nowhere to put him. "The guy's got pretty good stuff".

Neither starter survived the third inning.

Estrada has not allowed a single run in 13 innings pitched at home this season, and he has 15 strikeouts in 13 innings. "When you're on the road, you're always a pitch or a hit away from what happened".

BLUE JAYS KEY TRENDS: The Blue Jays have been profitable at home of late, going 4-1 in their last five home games.

Santana was on with a lead-off walk, and Lindor followed with a single to right field on a 1-1 offering. Edwin Encarnacion walked and Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker was ejected by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza during his visit to the mound.

Pearce hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom half and Goins chased Salazar with an RBI single.

Dan Otero came on for Salazar and retired the side.

"It would have been easy to fold, especially when they score a couple and you come back and hit the home run and take the lead and then they take a comfortable lead", Gibbons said. "You always know what they have down in their bullpen. Our guys - tip my hat to them - they have not gotten down even with the early struggles".

Abraham Almonte left after flying out in his only at-bat, doubling over in shoulder pain following his swing. He was replaced by Michael Martinez.

Catcher Yan Gomes was pulled in the bottom of the 3 with an undisclosed injury, as he was spelled by Roberto Perez.

"Every pitch Gomes called, I could throw for a strike", he said.

Notes: Blue Jays slugger Kendrys Morales sat out with a left hamstring strain. Toronto right-hander Marco Estrada (1-2, 3.14) is scheduled to start the opener of a four-game set against Seattle on Thursday night.

Indians: Cleveland is off Thursday a three-game series against visiting Minnesota.
