From the start, it was another rugged outing for R.A. Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays. The reigning NL Cy Young winner gave up a home run on his second pitch and was later booed off the mound. Dustin Ackley hit his first career grand slam and Michael Saunders homered twice as the Seattle Mariners romped 8-1 Saturday. (WRAL Sports Fan)
