SEATTLE -- When the Mariners arrived back in Seattle for an important nine-game homestand, they knew if they wanted to stay in the playoff conversation they could no longer be underachievers at home. After winning seven of eight, the Mariners are more than in the conversation. They are over .500 at home and tied with Detroit for the second wild card spot in the American League. Kyle Seager and Kendrys Morales hit solo home runs, Dustin Ackley added a key two-out two-run single, and the Mariners beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 on Tuesday night. "Its awesome. Its a whole new ballgame when it means something and you get in here and youre pumped and you look and see what everyone else is doing and where you stand," Ackley said. "Its a lot more fun. Baseball is always fun but it makes it that much more enjoyable when youre actually in it." Seattle (64-55) matched its season high of nine games over .500, getting another solid performance from veteran Chris Young, who earned his 11th victory. The Mariners also continued their recent offensive punch. Seagers 18th homer gave Seattle a 2-1 lead in the fourth. Ackley followed an inning later, going to the opposite field to drive in a pair. Morales capped the night with his first homer since being acquired by the Mariners in a trade with Minnesota in late July. It was Morales first homer since June 24, snapping a career-high, 41-game drought without a long ball. "The one thing we talked about coming home off the road is we need to start protecting our house," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We just had not been very good at home. I think the guys were conscious of that." Young (11-6) pitched six strong innings, allowing just two hits. He yielded a first-inning run after walking Jose Reyes on four pitches and giving up Melky Cabreras RBI double to start the game. Young retired 14 straight after Cabreras double, the streak snapped when Juan Francisco doubled in the fifth. Young struck out three and walked two, and won his third straight decision. Charlie Furbush got four outs with ease but Brandon Maurer gave up three hits in the eighth, capped by Jose Bautistas RBI double. Toronto added another run on Nolan Reimolds sacrifice fly, but Francisco Rodney pitched the ninth for his 33rd save. Logan Morrison extended his hitting streak to 13 games, with a single in the third, and scored on Austin Jacksons hit-and-run single that Colby Rasmus misplayed in centre field. Morrison doubled in the fifth, but was caught in a rundown between third and home on Jacksons grounder. Morrison stayed in the rundown long enough for Chris Taylor and Jackson to get into scoring position, and Ackley plated both with a single to left field on a pitch he probably would have missed earlier in the season. "It came down to Ackleys hit right there," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "They have a good pitching staff and we have to score for ours." Toronto starter J.A. Happ (8-7) gave up seven hits and struck out only one in six innings after recording 12 strikeouts in his last start. MR. 400 McClendon earned his 400th career win as a manager. He was presented the game ball by Robinson Cano in the clubhouse and then was showered by his players in celebration. THREE OR LESS Seattle extended its club record with an 11th straight game giving up three runs or less. Seattle is 8-3 during the stretch with a staff ERA of 1.93. TRAINERS ROOM Blue Jays: Adam Lind (foot) was activated off the 15-day disabled list and batted fourth. Lind went hitless in three at bats. Mariners: LHP Roenis Elias was optioned to the minors recently in an effort to control his innings. Elias will throw a few innings later this week at Triple-A Tacoma and likely rejoin the Seattle rotation next week in Philadelphia. UP NEXT Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (9-11) got a no decision in his last start against Detroit despite allowing just two earned runs. Dickeys last win came on July 28 against Boston. Mariners: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (10-6) is looking to continue a strong stretch. Over his last eight starts, Iwakuma is 5-2 with a 2.04 ERA and he has pitched at least seven innings in his past seven starts.

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit.Paris, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Paris Saint-Germain will aim to get back to winning ways on Saturday when the defending champions host Montpellier at the Parc des Princes. The capital club had been on a fantastic run of form, having not lost a match in any competition through a 2-1 win over Nantes on Dec. 6. But the club then suffered its first defeat of the season with a 3-1 setback against Barcelona. The loss meant little to Les Parisiens as they had already clinched a spot in the round of 16, but then the club followed up the defeat with a loss to surging Guingamp on the road the following week. PSG fell behind against Guingamp after just 11 minutes when Jeremy Pied fired home off a nice assist from Younousse Sankhare to put the home side in front. PSG failed to find an equalizer and fell to its first defeat of the league season to remain one point behind leaders Marseille with 37 points. Against Guingamp we lacked the necessary team spirit to hope to get a good result. Like against Lille we gave far too much away to our opponents, especially defensively, said PSG head coach Laurent Blanc. If we want to go a long way and reach the very ambitious goals that the club has set, we need to improve in this department. The entire squad needs to be focused and determined, if you want to avoid conceding goals. PSG were also drawn against Premier League side Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League, which will provide a significant challenge as the Blues knocked PSG out of the tournament last season in the quarterfinals. In finishing second in the group, we had very little chance of being drawn against an average side. We willl know after these two matches whether or not its a good draw, Blanc continued.ddddddddddddOne things for sure: Chelsea are a great team. We havent forgotten the quarter-final tie last year. Chelsea have been strengthened with new players this year. It will be a great tie. We have time to prepare, but we will be up against a very good side. Montpellier, meanwhile, will try to extend its unbeaten run in league play to three following a 3-3 draw against Lens last time out. Morgan Sanson and Lucas Barrios scored in the opening 16 minutes to spot Montpellier a 2-0 lead, but Pierrick Valdivia and Baptiste Guillaume netted for Lens to equalize in the 34th minute. Anthony Mounier scored to hand Montpellier a 3-2 lead in the 63rd minute, but they failed to hold the lead as Yoann Touzghar netted the equalizer 10 minutes from time to force the clubs to share the points. Also in Ligue 1 on Saturday, Caen hosts Bastia at the Stade Michel dOrnano, while Lorient welcomes Nantes to the Stade du Moustoir. Metz hosts Monaco at the Stade Municipal, while Rennes battles Reims. Saturdays final fixture sees surging Guingamp travel to the Stade Municipal de Toulouse to face Toulouse looking for a sixth straight win across all competitions. On Sunday, Marseille hopes to bounce back from a loss to Monaco with three points against Lille, while Saint Etienne welcomes Evian to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Finally on Sunday, Bordeaux welcomes Lyon to the Stade Chaban-Delmas looking to snap a two-match slide across all competitions. Fridays Ligue 1 action saw Wylan Cyprien and Adamo Coulibaly score to lift Lens to a 2-0 win over Nice. ' ' '
