SEATTLE -- J.A. Happ had a long wait between innings, and it was totally worth it for him and the Toronto Blue Jays.Happ became the major leagues second 20-game winner and Russell Martin and Michael Saunders each hit a two-run homer, lifting Toronto over the Seattle Mariners 10-2 on Tuesday night to move into first in the AL wild-card race.Toronto moved a game ahead of Baltimore and remained 2 1/2 games ahead of Detroit. Seattle lost for the fourth time in five games and trails Toronto by four games.Happ was the patient beneficiary when the Jays took the lead with an eight-run fourth inning.I actually came back up in the tunnel here and threw a little bit with Josh Thole trying to keep my arm loose, Happ said. But, when were scoring eight an inning, or six an inning, not sure which one it was, but Ill definitely take that any day.Happ (20-4) allowed two runs, six hits and a walk over five innings, striking out eight while winning for the 14th time in his last 15 decisions. Hes the first Toronto pitcher to reach 20 wins since Roy Halladay in 2008.Twenty wins. Its hard to do at the big league level, the best baseball in the world, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Hes had some kind of season. Hes going to keep going strong, but its quite an accomplishment.Martin and Saunders each homered off Hisashi Iwakuma (16-12) during the Blue Jays big inning. After catcher Chris Iannetta misplayed Jose Bautistas pop foul for an error, Bautista singled with one out and Martin followed with his 20th home run. Troy Tulowitzki singled and Saunders followed with his 24th homer to put Toronto up 4-2.Kevin Pillar doubled and Ezequiel Carrera chased Iwakuma with an RBI single. Devon Travis greeted reliever Nick Vincent with a bloop single down the right-field line, scoring Carrera from first to make it 6-2. Josh Donaldson walked and Edwin Encarnacion capped the inning with a two-run double.Donaldson opened the sixth with his 35th homer and Encarnacion added an eighth-inning solo homer, his 42nd, for the final two runs.We scratched out a couple runs, get a big hit and finally get a lead, started getting some momentum our way, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Unfortunately, the shutdown inning was nonexistent. It got away from us there, some bad pitches, they hit some home runs and got some other hits to fall in for them. They were around the ball all night. We couldnt get them off it.Martin and Saunders became the first Canadian-born teammates in major league history to hit at least 20 home runs in the same season.I think Russ and I will tell you that were probably more proud than others, Saunders said. I dont think it means a lot to anybody else. But Russ lately has just been on fire, really turned his season around. Weve leaned on him for the second half of the season.The Mariners took a 2-0 lead in the third when Robinson Cano lined a two-run triple off the knee of second baseman Travis that caromed all the way into the right-field corner.That one inning, they put a couple on the board, some tough plays, Gibbons said. But what he (Happ) did, he held them in check, limited it to two and then our offense took over, which was good to see. We havent seen one of those in a while. The first two games here, we played really, really well.EXCLUSIVE COMPANY FOR HAPPHapp became the sixth Blue Jay with 20 wins, joining Halladay, Roger Clemens, Jack Morris, Pat Hentgen and David Wells. The total ties him with Wells in 2000 for the most victories by a Toronto left-hander.TRAINING ROOMMariners: RHP Taijuan Walker had no issues after taking a line drive off his pitching arm in the first inning on Monday night.

No one in tennis loves an emoji quite like Roger Federer does. Some of his tweets contain no words - theyre picture stories made up entirely of those little characters. And yet, for all Federers enthusiasm for social media, he has a line of communication with his fanbase that is a touch more old school.Here at the All England Club, a courier met Federer and handed him The Red Envelope. Inside the envelope, which is sealed with a sticker, are messages of support and encouragement from the seven-time champions most dedicated supporters. This is a tradition among Federers supporters that goes back to 2003, which was the year he won this title for the first time, and so pre-dates Twitter or Facebook.The messages are short and sweet -- were telling Roger were supporting him and were wishing him well for the tournament, one of Federers most devoted fans, Colleen Taylor, told the Wimbledon Diary. One of those envelopes is passed to Federer at every Grand Slam, and at almost every tournament he plays. To attract Federers attention, the courier holds up the envelope while Federer is making his way to the practice courts. Roger is always looking out for the courier and the envelope, Taylor said.New balls please -- for the police dogsIt cant be all work and no play for the police sniffers dogs at the Aorangi Park practice courts.

Is it Dustin Brown, who apparently hasnt had a haircut for 20 years, and whose dreadlocks reach halfway down his body? Or perhaps Nick Kyrgios?But theres one person whose hair always demands attention, and thats the ticket tout who stands outside Southfields Underground Station, which is the nearest stop to the All England Club.He has dyed his hair neon yellow. He has also added a white line. In short, it looks as though he has a giant tennis ball on his neck. You can buy something very similar in the gift shop inside the grounds.Meet the VandeweghesThere cant be a family in the United States, or indeed anywhere in the world, which take nicknames more seriously than Coco Vandeweghes.The Californian, who is through to the fourth round, was named Colleen after her grandmother, a former Miss America, but everyone calls her Coco.
