WINNIPEG -- Coach Paul Maurice sounded a lot like a man who would like to try again next season the day after the Winnipeg Jets were eliminated from the 2014 playoff race. His future with the Jets is uncertain after taking over on a short-term basis mid-season from Claude Noel. But the players praised his focus and gave him credit for helping the team improve. And Maurice says he sees potential and would enjoy helping the team take the next step and continue its growth. Its been seven years since the Jets, then the Atlanta Thrashers, made their one and only playoff appearance. With Winnipegs 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night, the Jets moved out of reach of either the Dallas Stars or Phoenix Coyotes for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

With Seattle in the thick of the wild-card chase in the American League, Hernandez got the Mariners most anticipated home series since 2007 off to an electric start on Monday night. Hernandez allowed one run in seven strong innings, extending his major league record streak, and Robinson Cano provided a jolt of run support as Seattle romped to an 11-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Hernandez twirled another gem, making his 16th straight start of at least seven innings while allowing two earned runs or less. Hernandez needed just 96 pitches to get through seven and his only mistake was Jose Bautistas solo home run in the fourth. And he did it before a buzzing crowd of 41,168 as Seattle remained one game back in the chase for the second wild-card spot. "That was unreal. That was pretty good," Hernandez said. "Were fighting. Were going to continue to fight and do the little things." And for a change, Hernandez wasnt left wondering if Seattle would score enough. Cano ignited a seven-run sixth inning with his 10th homer of the season for a 3-1 lead. That was just the start. Mike Zunino followed with an RBI triple and an RBI double by Endy Chavez ended the night for Toronto starter Drew Hutchison (8-10). Seattles biggest inning since an eight-run outburst May 3 against Houston was just getting started. Brad Miller lined an RBI triple and Dustin Ackley brought home two runs with a single. Cano came up again, and after stepping out of the box while a lightning bolt and thunder crackled outside the stadium, just missed a second homer in the inning by inches with a RBI double off the wall. "Everything I saw was away ... so I was just trying to go the other way, but I wasnt trying to hit a homer," Cano saiid.dddddddddddd. A day after going 19 innings to beat Detroit at home and not arriving to Seattle until 12:30 a.m. local time, Bautistas 23rd homer was the only highlight for Toronto. The only other Toronto batter to get a hit was Colby Rasmus, who had two and is now 7 for 10 against Hernandez. King Felix struck out eight, walked none and lowered his ERA to 1.95 for the season. Hernandez is 9-2 with a 1.41 ERA during the 16-game streak. "With Felix out there, you give those guys a lead they put it away," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. WEB GEMS Canos heady fielding cut down a potential scoring opportunity for Toronto in the second. After Rasmus doubled, Dioner Navarro hit a grounder to second. Cano threw to third and got Rasmus trying to advance. Hernandez then got a double play grounder from Danny Valencia to get out of the inning. Cano later added an over-the-shoulder basket catch running down the right-field line. 2K KING Hernandez became the first pitcher since Dwight Gooden to reach 2,000 innings during or before his age-28 season. Hernandez, 28, reached the mark when he completed the second inning.
