TORONTO -- Its been a bad three-game stretch for the Blue Jays and the numbers tell a bleak story: three straight home losses, 29 runs given up on 42 hits and 13 walks. Toronto (11-12) gave up leads in 10-8 and 11-4 losses to the Baltimore Orioles this week. It was never close Friday as the Boston Red Sox got to Mark Buehrle early en route to an 8-1 win. "Tomorrow comes quickly and early," Jays manager John Gibbons said hopefully, "So we need to get back out and play some good baseball." Its sorely needed. Torontos pitching staff has a combined earned-run average of 4.70 with 99 walks. And the Jays are hitting .247. Boston slugger David Ortiz hit his 50th career homer against the Jays and right-hander Jake Peavey scattered five hits over seven innings in a tidy outing to earn his first win after four non-decisions. A unanimous NL Cy Young Award-winner in 2007, Peavey struck out seven and walked two. The lone blemish on the Peavey scoresheet was a Juan Francisco home run -- his first as a Blue Jay -- in the seventh inning. The six-foot-two 245-pound designated hitter muscled a moonshot that landed in the right-field boxes just under the 500 level. Buehrle (4-1) was trying to become first Blue Jays starter to win his first five starts of the campaign. Instead he wobbled early as the Red Sox (11-13) recorded their 300th career victory against Toronto before an announced crowd of 29,411. The 35-year-old left-hander came into the game with a 4-0 record and MLB-leading 0.64 ERA. Buehrle had allowed two runs in 28 innings, striking out 19 and walking only five batters. The opposition was batting .210 against him. On Friday, he gave up seven runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings, throwing 101 pitches that included 64 strikes. Buehrle walked three, had no strikeouts and saw his ERA increase to 2.16. "Hes been so good. Thats baseball, youre not going to be perfect every time out there," Gibbons said. "Hell bounce back. He was just off tonight, its that simple." Buehrle pointed to his walks and some bloop hits that found holes and eluded defenders. "Youve got to have the luck on your side. I wasnt hitting my spots as good as I was in the past. And when I did they got some base hits. But overall, too many strikes in the middle of the zone and they took advantage of it." Boston outhit Toronto 16-6 with all nine Red Sox starters registering hits on the night. The roof was closed on a wet, windy evening in Toronto. But down the street, Raptors fans braved the elements at Maple Leaf Square to watch Game 3 of Torontos NBA playoff series against the Nets in Brooklyn on the big screen outside the Air Canada Centre. That ending was closer but no more satisfying to locals. A leadoff walk and four hits in the second inning put the Jays behind 4-0 as Boston sent seven men to the plate and Buehrle threw 30 pitches. An A.J. Pierzynski sacrifice fly, Will Middlebrooks single and Dustin Pedroias two-RBI single kept the Boston scoreboard ticking. The inning snapped Buehrles streak of 0-23 with runners in scoring position. An Ortiz home run to deep right field made it 5-0 in the third. It was Ortizs fifth homer of the season and the 436th of his career, moving him within two of tying Andre Dawson and Jason Giambi for 40th place on the MLB all-time list. The Ortiz blast was also his 33rd at the Rogers Centre. Only Alex Rodriguez (36) has hit more in a visitors uniform here. Torontos Jose Bautista doubled in the fourth and has now reached base safely in all 23 games this season. The feel-good story ended quickly when he was caught stealing third, with one out and Edwin Encarnacion on first. Dioner Navarro then popped up to end the threat. "Ive got no idea," Gibbons said when asked what Bautista was thinking. "Its not smart winning baseball. Im sure he wont do it again." Said Peavey: "That was a shot in the arm for us." Middlebrooks, returning to the Boston lineup from a strained right calf injury that had sidelined him since April 4, doubled home Pierzynski in the sixth to make it 6-0. Buehrle exited one hitter later after walking the No. 9 hitter, Jackie Bradley Jr. Neil Wagner followed Buehrle and soon had to deal with the bases loaded, with two out, after a Jose Reyes error and Ortiz walk. Wagner walked Mike Napoli to make it 7-0, after the Boston first baseman had fouled off a string of balls with the count full, before striking out Jonny Gomes. The Jays had men on first and third with two out in the sixth but Peavey struck out Bautista and Encarnacion to snuff out Torontos first threat of the night. Boston manager John Farrell called it a key moment. "Jake gets two big strikeouts to end their threat, to keep the momentum on our side." The hard-throwing Wagner, who complicated matters with two walks and one hit batsman in 1 1/3 innings, was followed by Todd Redmond. The Jays sent Wagner to Triple-A Buffalo after the game, calling up pitcher Chad Jenkins. Bradley, who had three extra base hits on the night, made it 8-1 with a two-out RBI double off Redmond in the ninth. Chris Capuano pitched the eighth for Boston, striking out the side. Andrew Miller worked the ninth, giving up a single while striking out two. Steve Yzerman Jersey . "Im excited just for a new start, just to see where things are going, to bring some kind of tradition back to the team and guys being excited about something new," the defensive back said during a conference call Monday after agreeing to stay with the Bombers rather than go to free agency next month. Sergei Fedorov Jersey . -- The Kelowna Rockets earned their 16th straight win with a 7-2 rout of the Portland Winterhawks in Western Hockey League action Thursday. http://www.redwingshockeyauthentic.com/l...ndening-jersey/. - Loosening up for their first training camp practice, the Miami Dolphins high-stepped sideways up and down the field while House of Pains song "Jump Around" blared on the loudspeakers. Petr Mrazek Jersey . On Wednesday night, they showed that stellar defence and a little small ball can get the job done too. With pinch-runner Kevin Pillar aboard after Dioner Navarro opened the bottom of the ninth with a single, Anthony Gose dropped down an excellent bunt along the first-base line. Ted Lindsay Jersey . The two were in the batting cage moments before game time. Bautista was taking final warm up cuts. Pillar was hitting soft toss. The one-time utility player turned All-Star pulled aside the clubs young, fourth outfielder and offered him some advice.Kumar Sangakkara hailed Lendl Simmons match-winning innings for West Indies in the World T20 semi-final - despite the West Indies batsman earning THREE reprieves from India. Simmons, called into West Indies squad as a late replacement for hamstring-injury victim Andre Fletcher, cracked 82 not out from 51 balls to propel his side past Indias 192-2 with two balls to spare in Mumbai and into the showpiece game with England on Sunday, in Kolkata.The 31-year-old was twice caught off front-foot no-balls , when he was on 18 and 50, while he was also handed a lifeline late in his innings when Ravindra Jadejas foot was adjudged to be on the boundary rope as he flicked the ball back for Virat Kohli to take a catch. MS Dhoni must have felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day! Simmons comes in, scores runs, and you get him out - he scores runs and you get him out again, he scores runs and you get him out again! Kumar Sangakkara Coming in to a team as a replacement is not always easy but Simmons looked very focussed and I think he understood the conditions very well, Sangakkara said of the right-hander, who was playing at the home ground of his IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians.The way he started was very similar to a normal innings - hitting the loose ball and getting off strike - but he committed to every shot he played and wanted to bat through the innings, which he did.MS Dhoni, though, must have felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day! Simmons smashed 82 off 51 balls to send West Indies into Sundays final with England Simmons comes in, scores runs, and you get him out - he scores runs and you get him out again, he scores runs and you get him out again!It was high-drama, a beautiful chase and great to watch but cardinal mistakes cost India the game - it is hard to come back from those, even as professional players, and that catch [Jadejas] was the last straw.West Indies lost Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels cheaply at Wankhede Stadium, slipping to 19-2 when the former was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah for five and the latter chipped Ashish Nehra to cover for eight.ddddddddddddHowever, Simmons and Johnson Charles (52 from 36) smashed 97 in 10.1 overs before Andre Russell (43 off 20) and Simmons took West Indies home with an unbroken stand of 80 in 6.3 overs, Russell walloping a match-sealing six off Virat Kohlis medium pace. James Anderson, Kumar Sangakkara and Michael Atherton react to the West Indies win over India in the World T20 semi-final Im not sure one great day in Mumbai cancels out the bad days they have had in recent times but its a good little period for them, Michael Atherton added of West Indies, whose womens side will play three-time champions Australia in Sundays final.Their Under 19s have won the World Cup and their men and women are through to the final here.They are a different team in the shorter format - they often look a pale imitation in Test cricket but get them together in Twenty20 and they are a hard team to beat.They have got many more match-winners than one [Gayle].Can West Indies win both World T20 titles?
