The Toronto Blue Jays have the AL’s best record in May, while the Seattle Mariners are running away with the league’s worst. With Ricky Romero on the hill for the finale of a two-game set, neither team’s path appears likely to change. Romero struck out 12 while tossing his first career shutout in his last start, and he’ll look to build upon that momentum Thursday afternoon while sending the Mariners to a sixth consecutive loss. Seattle was a popular pick to contend in the AL West with the offseason addition of Cliff Lee, while the departure of Roy Halladay made Toronto little more than an afterthought in the East. The Blue Jays are winning with an offense that leads the majors in homers and doubles, but they also might be developing a future ace to fill Halladay’s shoes. Romero has lasted at least seven innings and yielded two runs or fewer in five of his eight starts, and went the distance for the first time in his latest outing.

The left-hander limited Texas to five singles and tied a career high with 12 strikeouts Saturday in the 6-0 win. If there’s hope for Seattle on Thursday, it’s that Romero has at least looked somewhat beatable on the road. He’s 3-1 with a 1.74 ERA at home, limiting opponents to a .143 average, but has a 4.26 ERA and has allowed a .280 average away from Rogers Centre. Romero gave up three runs over 6 1-3 innings at home against Seattle on Sept. 24 - including a two-run homer to Franklin Gutierrez - and left without a decision in the Mariners’ 5-4 win. Gutierrez had two hits Wednesday against the Blue Jays, who were outhit 10-6. But while Toronto’s total included three doubles, nine of Seattle’s 10 hits were singles - two by Milton Bradley in his return to the lineup - in a 3-2 loss, the fifth straight for manager Don Wakamatsu’s club. The Jays improved to 13-5 in May as the Mariners dropped to 3-14. Seattle is 4-11 in one-run games this season.
