BEREA, Ohio -- Hue Jackson did not complain about Adam Jones criticism of receiver Terrelle Pryor.The Browns coach said Pryor has to stop some of the things he is doing that lead to that kind of situation.I dont think [that has] any place in the National Football League, especially on our team, Jackson said. Were going to try to get all those things quieted down. We just going to play football, be the best football players we can be. Lets get away from all of that.Jackson apparently was referring to trash-talk that he thinks has gotten excessive. Jones accused Pryor of telling the Cincinnati defensive coordinator he was going to get Jones cut. Jones lambasted Pryor, called him garbage and arrogant and at one point even looked in a garbage can to see if Pryor was in there.It was the second game in a row that a defending cornerback had less than complimentary words for Pryor. Janoris Jenkins?tweeted heavy criticism after the Giants beat the Browns Nov. 27.Pryor declined to comment through the Browns media relations department.Rookie Corey Coleman said that any talk on the field between Jones and Pryor was two guys being really competitive trying to get the best of each other.Terrelles our brother, Coleman said.He knows that he cant say certain things, and hell be all right with that, tight end Gary Barnidge said. He trusts everybody on the team. We all trust him. We all have his back on everything.Pryor can be a free agent after the season, but he has said hed like to stay in Cleveland. Jackson downplayed this incidents possible impact on a new contract but said everything will be considered.I know Terrelle, Jackson said. Again, these are things that can be worked through and understood. But I will always take into consideration everything, and Im sure our organization will too as we move forward. Theres a type of team we want to be and were gonna be. Well get these things, these antics or however you guys want to look at them, slowed down. Because we want to do this thing right.The verbal spats with other teams players are just one concern. Pryor also criticized the Browns offensive line after a Nov. 20 loss to Pittsburgh. He has been seen on TV cameras being emotional in what looks like complaining on the sidelines. On Sunday against the Bengals, he was seen in the huddle yelling at quarterback Robert Griffin III when the Browns had to take a timeout because the play clock was running down.Jones said he asked Griffin why hed throw the ball to a guy who yelled at him that way.Although Jackson did not think that specific on-field discussion was overly significant, he did not like the pattern.We stop it, Jackson said. We just stop it. I have a relationship with Terrell, and theres a line ... again you just brought them all up. Were going to stop all that. We dont need all that. I dont think hes trying to be negative when hes doing it.Pryor has worked diligently to make himself into a receiver after playing quarterback, and he has done well. He leads the Browns with 63 receptions, 858 yards and four touchdowns while playing with four different quarterbacks.Jackson said Pryor needs to channel his energy in more positive ways.Thats not the type of football team we want to be, Jackson said. But I think Terrelle is trying to come from a good place. You just got to direct that energy in a different way. I think he will.Theres lessons to be learned. Some people file it under wanting to win so bad, but winning so bad cant supersede the team and how were going to do things.

SEATTLE -- Kyle Seagers sharp liner was caught on a slide. Robinson Canos shot to the gap was grabbed on the warning track. Nelson Cruzs deep fly ball was tracked down at the wall.The Seattle Mariners opened the biggest home series of the season with a handful of near misses that now have them three games behind in the AL wild-card chase.We will get after it, hopefully get a few more hits and see what we can do there, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. We know whats ahead of us, and we arent going to back away from it.Marco Estrada took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Edwin Encarnacion hit his 41st home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Mariners 3-2 on Monday night in the opener of a critical three-game series.Estrada (9-9) had allowed only two walks before Cano led off the seventh with a line drive up the middle on a 2-1 pitch. Cano and Cruz walked in the fourth -- an inning that ended when Kevin Pillar made a sliding catch to rob Seager of a run-scoring hit -- but Estrada otherwise kept the Mariners off the bases.The Blue Jays pulled even with Baltimore for the first wild-card spot. Both teams are 2 1/2 games clear of Detroit and three ahead of Seattle and Houston.Estrada was pulled after walking Leonys Martin leading off the eighth inning, leaving to a standing ovation from the huge Blue Jays contingent that made its way down to Seattle from British Columbia. He struck out eight and walked three before being replaced by Jason Grilli.Thats when the Mariners attempted rally started.Pinch-hitter Ben Gamel walked to put two runners on with no outs, and Seth Smith walked on a nine-pitch at-bat with two outs to load the bases for Cano. Closer Roberto Osuna entered and got Cano to line out to the warning track in right field where Ezequiel Carrera was playing.I didnt think it had a chance because it was a line drive and I know they was playing no doubles, Cano said. I was hoping it would fall in.Seattle had another glimmer in the ninth when Martin hit aa two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Osuna, but Gamel struck out looking to cap Osunas 34th save.ddddddddddddWe had some good at-bats, couldnt get a lot of breaks. It happens, Servais said.Encarnacions two-run homer off starter Taijuan Walker (6-11) came with two outs in the third on an 0-1 pitch that was left up in the strike zone. Pillar added a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning after Troy Tulowitzki led off with a double.Walker, who has dealt with a foot issue for most of the second-half of the season, took a line drive from Encarnacion off his right biceps in the first inning but remained in the game. He allowed five hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings.I was kind of amped up a little bit. Everything just felt just a little bit off, Walker said. It wasnt my best but I felt like it was a big test. I kind of just stayed within myself and try to make pitches and get outs.NEAR NO-NOSEstrada has never completed a no-hitter, but hes been close. He lost a no-hit bid in the eighth inning against Boston on June 5, and also pitched hitless ball into the eighth inning in consecutive starts in June 2015.DONALDSON TOSSEDTorontos Josh Donaldson was ejected in the seventh inning arguing with plate umpire Chris Conroy after being called out on strikes.

Donaldson immediately got in Conroys face and was quickly tossed.UP NEXTBlue Jays: LHP J.A. Happ (19-4) goes for his 20th win.
