SEATTLE - Brett Lawrie feels right at home at Safeco Field. The Blue Jays third baseman, who was born 120 miles away in Langley, British Columbia, had three hits to help Toronto earn a comeback 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. The game was played before 32,300 fans, the vocal majority of whom were Canadians venturing down the freeway from B.C. "Besides Canada Day and Opening Day, this was the best atmosphere of the year," said Mark DeRosa, who had a two-run pinch-hit single in the eighth to provide the winning margin. "No offence to the Rogers Center, but this place was jumping tonight." Lawrie soaked it in. "The last road crowd like that was here last year," Lawrie said. "Obviously, its a positive when the whole crowd is cheering for your team. Its usually the other team. They picked us up tonight. "It was just a good energy. You could feel the energy in the building, everyone cheering for the Blue Jays. It was fun to be part of." R.A. Dickey (9-11) went 7 2-3 innings, allowing one run on eight hits. The knuckleballer struck out five and walked two. He won for the first time since July 1. "I had a good knuckle ball out my hand tonight," Dickey said. "But it was certainly about Brett Lawrie tonight. That was fun to watch. His triple, his double, his double play. He was our spark plug tonight. It was good to do that in front of a Canadian crowd. He enjoyed that." Casey Janssen worked the ninth for his 20th save in 22 opportunities. Hisashi Iwakuma (10-5), who pitched 7 1-3 innings, took the loss. He allowed two runs on four hits, striking out two and walked a season-high three. Over his past five starts, he is 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA. Justin Smoak hit his 11th home run in the seventh to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead at the time. Since July 1, Smoak is batting .327 with 16 runs, eight doubles, five homers and 13 RBI. "He definitely had it dancing tonight," Smoak said of the knuckler. "When we did have runners on, we didnt capitalize on it. "It (home run pitch) was up. I was swinging. Just happened to catch it at the right time." After Smoaks home run, the Jays responded with their three-run, eighth-inning rally. Lawrie opened with a triple into the right-centre gap. With one out, Jose Reyes lined a RBI single to centre, ending Iwakumas outing. Yoervis Medina then complicated the situation for the Mariners, giving up a single to Jose Bautista. Both runners advanced on Medinas wild pitch. Edward Encarnacion walked to load the bases. Oliver Perez entered as did DeRosa, who lined his game-winning single to left on an 0-2 pitch. DeRosa is 5-of-14 as a pinch hitter this season with six RBI. "I always look at the matchup," DeRosa said. "He prides himself on attacking. Theres a lot of herky-jerky motion. I was just trying to take the lower half out. I knew hed challenge me. Thats the type of guy he is." The Mariners put together a rally in the third but Lawrie had a hand in ending it. Humberto Quintero opened with a ground-rule double that bounced over the left-field wall. With one out, Kyle Seager singled to right, as Quintero held at third. Kendrys Morales then hit a two-hopper to third baseman Lowrie, who dived to his left to stop it. From his knees, he started a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat. "I thought of looking back to third to see where he was but I wanted to get rid of it because knew he (Morales) was a slow runner," Lawrie said. "Ive done that (thrown from knees) a couple times. Its not too bad. You get a good feel for it after a while." It was the first win for the Blue Jays at Safeco since Aug. 17, 2011. The Mariners have had 51 of their 112 games decided by two runs over fewer. NOTES: Dustin Ackley started at his old position, second base. He had been the teams regular at that spot but a batting slump and Nick Franklins emergence pushed him to the outfield. "They always told me to be ready, just in case. I see why now," Ackley said. Acting manager Robby Thompson said, "I dont hesitate for a minute to put him out there." . Seattle manager Eric Wedge, who suffered a mild stroke July 22 and has missed 13 games, will miss more. There was hope that he could rejoin the team by this homestand but as Thompson said, "hes doing well. It is a slow process...when that time is, were not really sure." . LHP J.A. Happ was added to the Blue Jays roster before the game, replacing RHP Steve Delabar (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day DL. RHP David Schwimer was designated for assignment to make room for Happ on the 40-man. Pittsburgh Pirates Gear .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Addressing reporters for the first time since deciding not to pursue further legal options in his Deflategate fight with the NFL,?New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady?called it a personal decision.Ive just tried to move on from it, Brady said Friday after practice. Ill be excited to be back when Im back, and Ill be cheering our team and hopefully well go out and win every game.Asked how difficult he expected it would be for him to serve a four-game suspension to open the season, Brady said: Ive tried to be as positive as I can be. I think thats kind of always been my motto. Over the course of my career, Ive been faced with different things and tried to overcome them the best way I could, or the best way I knew how. Ill try to do the same thing.Brady didnt elaborate when asked how he plans to spend the four weeks of his suspension, saying: Ill deal with that when it comes. I could have a plan and then change the plan. So I really dont know.Brady deflected a question on whether he is angry at the powers that be in the NFL.I have a job to do, and I try to approach it the best way I can, he said. Ive always tried to do things the same way. Every day is important to me. Certainly, as someone who has been around here for a long time, I know I have to bring it every day. I think I just have to go out there and lead by example, and try to bring it, and show my teammates Im ready to go mentally and physicallyy every day.ddddddddddddBrady was on fire during Fridays practice, which was an intrasquad scrimmage. Although the pass rush held up before sacking quarterbacks and there was no live tackling, Brady was still 25-of-25 in the scrimmage and was especially vocal, his emotion flowing over after big plays.I think its just a way to elevate everybodys game, he said of his approach. Its a very competitive team, its a competitive sport and you have to bring it mentally every day. You have to have an attitude about you, and we have a lot of guys on this team that bring that. Trying to push their buttons, I love to do that. They push it back, and I think that gets the best out of everybody.Brady also deflected a question on whether hes changed his approach in training camp, knowing he wont play until Oct. 9 at Cleveland, saying, Honestly, Im just trying to be as good as I can be every day.His interview with reporters lasted five minutes, during which he acknowledged the support hes received throughout Deflategate.My family has been everything to me, he said. Obviously the support of my teammates, and coaches, and Mr. [Robert] Kraft and Jonathan [Kraft], the whole team, all our fans. I said the other night, we have the best fans in the world. And we do. Hopefully we give them a lot of reason to cheer this year. ' ' '
