Addison Barger doubled three times and drove in two runs to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 6-3 on Friday night. 

Barger gave the Blue Jays an early advantage with a two-run double in the first inning. He then scored a run of his own during a three-run third inning that made it 5-0.

Mariners starter Luis Castillo (3-3) was tagged for five earned runs in five innings. 

Barger also flashed a nifty glove at third base when taking a sure double away from Julio Rodriguez in the third inning. Two runners were aboard for Rodriguez.

The Mariners scored the game’s next three runs off starter Kevin Gausman (3-3), and could have tacked on more if not for stranding eight runners on base, including three in the eighth inning. Ultimately, the owners of the best record in the majors since April 7 fell in a rare defeat while the Blue Jays inched closer to .500. 

Jeff Hoffman pitched the ninth for his eight save.
