07/21/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Towers pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings as the Toronto Blue Jays edged the Seattle Mariners, 1-0, in the second contest of a three-game set.

Towers (5-6) gave up just three hits while striking out four and walking two for the Blue Jays, who have won two of three after a three-game skid.

Toronto's bullpen finished the game off with 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief, with Jeremy Accardo getting the final two outs in the ninth for his 15th save of the season.

Aaron Hill knocked in the lone run of the game for the Blue Jays with an RBI single in the second inning.

Jeff Weaver (2-8) was the hard-luck loser after pitching eight solid innings. The right-hander gave up just the one run on four hits with four strikeouts and no walks.

Jose Vidro hit a pair of singles for the Mariners, who had won eight of their last 11.

Toronto got the only run it would need in the second inning behind three- straight singles by Vernon Wells, Frank Thomas and Hill, with Hill's base-hit scoring Wells.

Towers, meanwhile, retired the first 10 batters of the game before Vidro singled in the fourth.

Ichiro Suzuki walked with two outs in the sixth and Vidro's second base-hit of the game put runners on the corners. Towers, though, got Raul Ibanez to line out to center for the third out of the inning.

Richie Sexson then walked with two outs in the seventh and Jose Lopez followed with a single. However, Casey Janssen took over for Towers and retired pinch- hitter Ben Broussard to end the threat.
