TORONTO -- It was supposed to be a chance for BrettCecil to show that he belongs in Torontos starting rotation.Custom Bulls Jersey. Instead it was a start that ended prematurely and set the Los Angeles Angels up for a 10-6 victory over the Blue Jays. Cecil (4-10) lost his sixth straight decision Tuesday in what has been a season to forget for the 25-year-old left-hander. He gave up four runs -- including a solo homer by former Jays slugger VernonWells -- and lasted only three innings. The 25-year-old left-hander wasnt expecting manager John Farrell to go to the bullpen so early. "Really surprised. I think thats why Im at a loss for words," a despondent Cecil said after the game. "I only had three innings to work. I just cant find the words to really explain anything right now. "The ball got up in the third inning and thats really it. I just dont know." Reliever KyleDrabek didnt fare much better. He gave up a three-run homer to MarkTrumbo in the fourth and the Angels (84-70) were well on their way to a comfortable victory. "On a night we needed the runs, we got them," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Los Angeles still has a slim chance of catching Boston for the American League wild-card spot. The Angels are 3 1/2 games behind the Red Sox after Boston dropped a 7-5 decision to Baltimore on Tuesday night. The Tampa Bay Rays remained two games behind Boston after a 5-0 loss to New York. "Its a critical time for us to move forward and hopefully get a couple of guys swinging the bats to their capabilities and carry this thing through," Scioscia said. "Its in there. If our guys can swing the bats to their potential, its going to put us on a good run. "Needless to say, we need it." With the Jays (78-76) out of the playoff picture, these September games are a chance for players to show their skills as the team looks ahead to 2012. Cecil started off strong with three strikeouts in the first inning. But as has been the case throughout the season, his velocity wasnt quite there and the ball started to rise in the strike zone. The Angels took full advantage. "It was just the inconsistent location throughout the at-bats to where he had the inability to finish some guys off," Farrell said. "I didnt think his stuff was as sharp as it was the last time out." Cecil led the team with 15 wins last year but never got on track this year. He spent some time at triple-A Las Vegas and, despite a few decent starts since his return, hasnt really produced the way he was expected to. Farrell decided to pull Cecil after he threw over 30 pitches in the third inning. "At that point I didnt see the crispness and the late action to the stuff, particularly against a right-handed dominant lineup," Farrell said. Wells launched his 23rd homer of the season just over the left-field wall in the second inning. He followed the rainbow shot with a ground-rule RBI double in the three-run third inning. Trumbos 29th homer of the year was a no-doubt blast to left-centre field. Drabek was tagged for six earned runs over two innings of work. Los Angeles starter JoelPineiro (7-7) allowed four earned runs over six innings. Toronto opened the scoring in the first inning when EdwinEncarnacion drove in MikeMcCoy with an RBI single. McCoy, who had three of Torontos 11 hits, also brought ColbyRasmus across with a run in the second inning. McCoy scored again in the seventh on an Encarnacion sacrifice fly, one of three Toronto runs in the inning. EricThames scored on a throwing error in the ninth to make it a four-run game. Cecils start was pushed back a few days after he cut his finger while cleaning a blender last Wednesday in Boston. He said the finger wasnt an issue against the Angels. Farrell handed the ball to four relievers in all, including Drabek, ShawnCamp, JoelCarreno and DannyFarquhar. Relievers RichThompson, BobbyCassevah, GarrettRichards and ScottDowns worked in relief for the Angels, who had 15 hits on the night. Downs struck out Rasmus on three pitches to earn his first save of the season. A crowd of 13,514 took in the action at Rogers Centre and the game took three hours six minutes to play. Notes: ErickAybar stole home in the fourth inning. It was the first time the Jays have allowed a straight steal of home since Tampa Bays B.J.Upton did it in July 2009. ... It was Cecils shortest start since a three-inning performance against Cincinnati in June 2009. ... The Blue Jays put shortstop YunelEscobar on the 15-day disabled list with a swollen left elbow, a move retroactive to Sept. 11. ... Toronto will give DustinMcGowan (0-0, 7.50 earned-run average) the start on Wednesday night against fellow right-hander DanHaren (15-9, 3.24). Toronto rookie HendersonAlvarez (1-2, 3.62) gets the nod in the home finale on Thursday night against ErvinSantana (11-12, 3.40). ... Singer-songwriter Dallas Green of City and Colour threw out the first pitch. ... The roof was open at Rogers Centre. The temperature was a comfortable 20 C when the game started at 7:07 p.m. ET.Jimmy Butler Black Jersey. Heading into the final round with a two-stroke lead, Donald had seven birdies and two bogeys at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club to finish at 14-under 270 on the Japan Tour.Michael Jordan All Star Jersey. "It is my feeling the club is at a stage that is critical to our on-field expectations and this move was necessary," Hervey told a news gathering hours after he informed Reed he was gone after three years as head coach.KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- Jeff Stoughton has dodged more than a few bullets at the Canadian mens curling championship but he was hit hard Monday night, falling 10-4 to Albertas Kevin Koe. Koes win set up a three-way tie for first at the Tim Hortons Brier, as John Morris of B.C. then beat Eddie MacKenzie of Prince Edward Island 10-4. Morris, Koe and Stoughton are all tied at 4-1 at the top of the standings. Koe grabbed a three in the third end and stole a crippling four in eight when Stoughton was forced into a low-percentage angle raise and his stone sailed past a crowded four-foot. Stoughton shook hands at that point. "We thought we had to give it a shot to score," he said. "It was one of those games, we were just a little bit light or a little heavy on some shots. . . we missed four in a row on the end where they stole three." Koes four in eight came despite a hog-line violation on third Pat Simmons final stone. "I think he said he thought he was coming out a bit light and went to add a little and you know just over the hog line," said Koe. A missed raise by Manitobas third that could have spilled Alberta stones out of the crowded four foot also put Manitoba further behind the eight ball. "They kind of missed the sweep on John Meads last shot and never moved stuff around and were chasing." Stoughton noted the kind of shots he has been forced to make by his team have brought down his percentages but he feels good about his game. "Its a reflection of lead, second and third before you," he said. "The less shots that are made in front of you, the tougher shots you are making. . ." "I felt a lot better today about the ice and the weight and throwing, so for me the confidence level went way up after this game." Newfoundland and Labradors Brad Gushue improved to 2-3 with a 9-7 win over James Grattan of New Brunswick, who won his first game in the earlier draw. Northern Ontario improved to 2-3 by beating still winless Jamie Murphy of Nova Scotia 9-6. Morris was happy about the way his team played. "Jimmy was feeling it, the ice was fantastic . . . That was probably our most solid game of the week so far," said Morris. Jim Cotter throws fourth stones for B.C. and he didnt miss much. P.E.I. shook after the final four in the ninth end. Earlier in the day, Koe won a game he never looks forward to playing. "This one, you dont get a lot of enjoyment out of," the Alberta skip said, after beating younger brother Jamie Koe from the Northwest Territories-Yukon 8-3 in eight ends. "Its never fun beating them because Im always cheering for them every year theyre here," he said.Dennis Rodman Jersey. "That being said, we needed a win." "Theyre obviously better," Jamie said of the encounters with his brother. "Were going to have to play our best and hope for some breaks but its a fair battle." Monday also saw Grattan score his first against Greg Balsdon of Ontario 9-6 in the afternoon. Balsdon now sits at 2-2. Grattan gave Stoughton a fight Sunday as well and said it felt good to get a monkey off his back with the win. "When we went to bed last night we felt pretty good about it," he said of the Manitoba game. "The team in the last two games has really shown up." He says getting used to the ice has been an issue. They lost their first game 13-5 and the second 10-1. "We come from an area of the world where the ice is fairly straight all the time . . Coming out here and all of a sudden youre taking the 12-foot to get to the lid and its a different ball game." Its also important to win games at the Brier if you want a reserved spot in the future. A new system is coming into place that will force the bottom finishers to compete for the right to return. Its being brought in to keep the field the same size with the addition of a Team Canada and new rinks from Nunavut and Yukon, instead of just one Territories team. MacKenzie was 3-2 after splitting the day with an afternoon win over Quebecs Jean-Michel Menard. MacKenzie has already matched his combined record at his first two Brier appearances for Prince Edward Island, in 2011 and 2013. "Its definitely better than 0-5 or 0-6 like we were the last couple of times," he said earlier in the day. "Id say being here the last three out of four years helps for sure, playing on arena ice a little more." Saskatchewans Steve Laycock sits just ahead of MacKenzie at 3-1, after beating Nova Scotia 5-3 in the afternoon. He didnt play Monday night. "We kind of figured 3-1 or 4-0 was where wed want to be after this stretch because we do have some of the favourites coming up," he said. Murphy, meanwhile, isnt too thrilled at the Canadian Curling Association for the changes coming in 2015 that could see Nova Scotia have to compete for the right to play in the Brier. "Were firm believers that messing with traditions such as the Brier doesnt seem like a smart decision," he said of the new system, popularly known as relegation, although it seems anything but popular. "Were obviously biased when we say that because were probably going to be in the relegation pool."wholesale jerseyscheap jerseys' ' '
