TORONTO -- With one big inning and another strong start from J.A. Happ, the Blue Jays moved into the AL East lead.Happ won his eighth straight decision, Devon Travis homered and Toronto used a seven-run fifth to beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-1 Saturday, taking sole possession of first place for the first time since early April.Theres still a lot of baseball left, but I feel were starting to play good ball, Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin said.Toronto, which won for the 16th time in 22 games, had not been alone atop its division since a 2-0 start. The Blue Jays have scored seven or more runs in an inning three times this season.Kevin Pillar had two hits and drove in four runs to match his career high. Major league RBI leader Edwin Encarnacion drove in his 89th run.Pedro Alvarez hit a solo homer for the Orioles, who matched a season-high by losing their fifth straight and fell a half-game behind the Blue Jays.Obviously, were not playing the way were capable of right now, Baltimore pitcher Yovani Gallardo said.Happ (14-3) allowed one run and three hits in seven-plus innings.He hit his spots pretty well today, Baltimores Mark Trumbo said. There wont a whole lot to hit.Happ walked three and matched his season-high with 11 strikeouts in what manager John Gibbons called a dominating outing.

His fastball was just exploding toward the plate.Josh Donaldson had two singles and walked twice before being replaced by pinch-runner Darwin Barney in the eighth. Gibbons said Donaldson had tightness in his hamstring.We dont think its a big deal, Gibbons said.Alvarez connected on an 0-2 pitch with two out in the second, his 13th.Travis tied it with a line-drive homer off Gallardo (3-3) in the fifth. Jose Bautista and Josh Donaldson walked, Encarnacion hit an RBI double and Michael Saunders was intentionally walked.I just wasnt able to get ahead of guys like I was doing early in the game, Gallardo said.Mychal Givens walked Troy Tulowitzki, then gave up two-run doubles to Russell Martin and Kevin Pillar.Showalter said Givens had a flat breaking ball.Theyre a good offensive team, they make you pay for mistakes, Showalter said.Gallardo (3-3) lost for the first time in five career meetings with the Blue Jays, including the opener of last years AL Division Series. He allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings.Baltimore chased Happ in the eighth and loaded the bases against Joe Biagini with no outs but couldnt score. Jonathan Schoop grounded into a fielders choice, Manny Machado flied out and Brett Cecil came on to strike out Chris Davis.We know were going to have to score more than one but Happ didnt make that possible, Showalter said.TAKE THAT, BAT!Torontos Melvin Upton Jr. broke his bat over a thigh after striking out in the fifth.MOVING MONEYToronto agreed to pay $325,137 to Seattle as part of Tuesdays trade that sent RHP Drew Storen to the Mariners for RHP Joaquin Benoit.CROOKED NUMBERSTorontos biggest inning of the season was an eight-run sixth in a 17-1 win over Cleveland on July 3.UP NEXTRHP Chris Tillman (14-3), Baltimores scheduled starter Sunday, allowed six runs and nine hits in five innings in a 6-3 loss to Colorado in his last outing.

INDIANAPOLIS -- All week, Andrew Luck downplayed the significance of the Super Bowl reunion.While acknowledging it was a nice way for fans and former players to celebrate the good, old days, the Colts quarterback insisted it was never a big topic inside the locker room. After Sundays 24-17 victory over Tennessee, Luck confessed it may have helped the Colts get jump-started.You never want to go out and embarrass yourself in front of one of the all-time great Colts teams, so maybe there was a little edge from that matter, Luck said.Turns out, this homecoming weekend may have been the perfect remedy for the Colts after a disjointed first half of the season.The reunion just happened to fall against an opponent Indy has now beaten 11 consecutive times and that has never won at Lucas Oil Stadium since it opened in 2008.The Colts (5-5) pulled out all the tricks -- running three plays out of the wildcat formation in the first two series, including one that looked like some version of an end-around. Luck wound up throwing to an uncovered Frank Gore for 49 yards.And with so many fan favorites back to retell stories, mingle with fans and sign autographs, there was a decidedly festive atmosphere throughout the first half -- almost like the game was the warmup act. During the halftime ceremony Reggie Wayne even jogged to the corner of the end zone where he did his pregame dance, went through the motions once more before bouncing across the end zone and into the interview room.Indy rosee to the occasion against the Titans (5-6) and even impressed the former stars .ddddddddddddWell, they are doing all right, so we dont need to do much, Wayne said shortly after halftime. But if they need me...Those two quarters were easily the most impressive of Indys entire season.Luck led the Colts to touchdowns on each of their first three drives and got them into scoring position on the fourth drive, too. But Adam Vinatieris streak of 44 consecutive field goals ended with a rare miss from 42 yards.Vinatieri and Robert Mathis, who had one sack, are the only Colts from the 2006 championship team still on Indys roster.I never thought when I first started that Id play 21 years-plus or whatever, said the 43-year-old Vinatieri, who atoned later by making a 49-yard field goal for the final points of the game. Im just very blessed and very happy that Im still out here doing it.Especially when hes playing on a team ready to fight its way back into playoff contention, even if everyone else wants to write off Indy.But as Vinatieri and Mathis recall, thats exactly what was being said about the Super Bowl champs 10 years ago.These guys are here to remind the (2016) team that youve got to believe, team owner Jim Irsay told the crowd, because you never know when the miracle will happen.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
