Bryce Miller and three Seattle relief pitchers baffled Toronto batters to spark the Mariners over the Blue Jays 3-1 in Sunday's opening game of their Major League Baseball playoff series.

Cal Raleigh smashed a home run and Jorge Polanco drove in two runs to provide the scoring, but Mariners pitching mystified the hosts, allowing only two hits and none after the second inning.

Miller, a right-hander starting on short rest for the first time in his career, surrendered a homer to George Springer on his first offering of the night, but the Blue Jays had only one hit the rest of the night.
