TORONTO -- This wasnt the Marco Estrada the Toronto Blue Jays have grown accustomed to.Drew Smyly pitched six innings to win consecutive decisions for the first time in 2016, Logan Forsythe hit a solo homer and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Estrada and the Blue Jays 9-2 on Tuesday night.Estrada (7-5) allowed three runs, two earned, and seven hits in five innings, matching his shortest outing of the season.I thought he was a little bit off, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.Estrada acknowledged being a little rusty but wasnt too bothered by the result.These things are going to happen, he said. Im not going to dial it up every time.Estrada, who missed last months All-Star Game because of a sore back, said the injury didnt bother him against the Rays.Rays outfielder Steven Souza Jr. took pride in beating Estrada.Hes obviously one of the better pitchers in the league, one of the elites, Souza said. To work him the way we did and to put together some quality at-bats, we just didnt give him a break.Evan Longoria reached base four times, scored twice and drove in three runs for the Rays. Forsythe had three hits, two RBI and scored twice as the Rays roughed up Torontos bullpen, scoring six runs off two relievers.Tampa Bay finished with 15 hits, three shy of its season high. The Rays had 18 hits in a 13-7 victory over Boston on June 27.We stranded a lot of base runners early, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. It was nice to see we kind of made up for that later in the ball game.Smyly (4-11) allowed two runs and six hits, improving to 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in five career games at Rogers Centre.They pieced together some singles but he limited the damage really, really well, Cash said.Smyly is 13-4 with a 2.32 ERA in 35 career games against the AL East. The Rays are 14-6 in Smylys 20 starts against division foes since he joined the team in 2014.Drew battled his tail off tonight, Forsythe said.Forsythe connected on Estradas fourth pitch of the game. It was Forsythes second career leadoff homer and the fourth of the season for the Rays.Toronto scored twice off Smyly in the fifth, cutting a 3-0 deficit to one, but the Rays answered with two runs against Danny Barnes in the sixth and pulled away with a four-run, bat-around seventh against Scott Feldman.The Blue Jays loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth but couldnt score. Troy Tulowitzki popped up Smylys first pitch, Michael Saunders struck out and Justin Smoak fouled out.Thats the difference maker right there, Gibbons said.HIT THE SHOWERSRain briefly fell into the open stadium during the bottom of the fourth but the showers soon passed.LACKING THE LONG BALLToronto is 8-21 when it does not hit a home run.CROWD CONTROLSouza tried leaping into the stands down the right field line to catch Tulowitzkis fly ball in the second, but collided with a fan in the front row. I thought I had a chance and then it was a little bit farther than I thought, Souza said.ROSTER MOVESBlue Jays: Toronto released LHP Franklin Morales. He went 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in four games before being designated for assignment last week. ...

Trevon Duval Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. https://www.rocketsrookiesshop.com/ .

Austin Rivers Rockets Jersey . Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Spending just a year around players like Derek Carr and Khalil Mack was enough for Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander to see that the Raiders were on the verge of turning things around in coach Jack Del Rios second season in Oakland.That was one of the main reasons why I wanted to sign back because I knew they were going to be a Super Bowl contender with all the young talent they had just based on last year, Alexander said.Hell get an up-close look at the resurgent Raiders (9-2) on Sunday when the Buffalo Bills (6-5) visit Oakland.While the Raiders success comes as little surprise to Alexander, the production Alexander has provided the Bills has been a stunner. Known as mostly a special teams standout during his first nine seasons in the NFL, Alexander has emerged as a big-time pass rusher in Buffalo.He has 10 sacks on the season for coach Rex Ryan -- one more than he had in his first nine years in the league.We did not see that in him or we wouldnt have let Rex get him, Del Rio said Im really happy for a guy like Lorenzo. Hes a consummate professional. This is a guy that busts his butt, does everything he can, every day to be a true professional. We had him around thinking thats what we were getting is that, the leadership part of it and, honestly, we missed on this part where hes getting 10 sacks.Adding to that total against the Raiders wont be easy. Oakland has allowed a league-low 12 sacks thanks to a powerful line and Carrs ability to get rid of the ball quickly.You go into a game thinking youll be lucky to get one sack, Ryan said. Its a combination of that offensive line, but another thing is you have a quarterback thats not going to take sacks. Hell get rid of it if he has to.Here are some other things to watch:STOP THE RUN: The Raiders have had issues stopping the run, allowing 4.6 yards per carry and holding just two of the past 10 opponents under 100 yards. They will face an especially tough test against LeSean McCoy and Buffalo. The Bills are averaging 5.3 yards per carry -- the most in the league in four years -- and are seeking their first five-game streak of 150-yard rushing games since 1975. Even if the Raiders manage to keep McCoy under control, quarterback Tyrod Taylor is also dangerous with 423 yards rushing and a 6.3 average.Its like they have two running backs in thhe backfield, Mack said.ddddddddddddPROTECT THE BALL: No team has avoided turnovers as well as the Bills. Buffalos six turnovers are the fewest through 11 games in NFL history. The previous low over that span was eight shared by five teams, most recently Kansas City last year. The single-season record is 10, set by New England in 2010 and matched by San Francisco the following season. Taylor has four INTs and one lost fumble and rookie RB Jonathan Williams lost a fumble for the other turnover.Its my job to take calculated risks, but at the same time be smart with where Im going with the football, Taylor said. Turnovers definitely dont lead to good things in this league.BIG TARGET: The one part of the Raiders offense that hasnt been clicking all year is the tight end in the passing game. Thats what made Clive Walfords big game last week so important. Walford had three catches for 43 yards against Carolina, including a 14-yard catch on third-and-11, followed by a 12-yard TD on the tying drive in the fourth quarter.It shows that Derek still believes in me and has a lot of faith in me, Walford said. Im just grateful that I can be there for him to make a play for him like that.OAKLAND DROUGHT: Oakland has not been kind to the Bills in their history. Buffalo has not won a game there since Jack Kemp led them to a 31-10 victory there in 1966 . The Bills have lost all eight meetings, although they did beat the Raiders in overtime in 1991 in Los Angeles.Fifty years ago? Phew, Ryan said. Thats amazing. Woof. You talk about a drought.REUNION: Del Rio and Ryan have a long history, having served as defensive assistants together in Baltimore when the Ravens won the Super Bowl following the 2000 season. Both credited former Ravens coach Brian Billick for their success and remembered fondly the days in Baltimore together when they would pretend to be draft experts Mel Kiper and Joel Buchsbaum and try to predict picks in advance.It was fun for us, Ryan said. We got fired up for the draft. Wed have our notes and be going back and forth. It was a good time.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow contributed to this report---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
