ST. Ravens Haloti Ngata Jersey
. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Matt Moore pitched up to the lofty recent
standards set by the Tampa Bay pitching staff. And when the Rays added
some hits and runs, that made things look easy.
Moore threw six sharp innings, Jose Lobaton drove in three runs and the
Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 Thursday for a three-game sweep.
"Our staff and our entire lineup right now, were playing well," Moore
said after winning in the finale of a six-game homestand. "Its a very
good time for us in this clubhouse, and theres a lot of looking forward
to going on the road right now."
Moore (9-7) gave up one run and two hits, retiring 14 straight batters
during one stretch. He won his third straight start, striking out six
and walking two.
That kind of pitching has become routine for the Rays, who have allowed
more than one run in only six of their last 19 games.
Hitting has been another matter. The Rays took the ALs worst batting
average (.230) and lowest scoring output (441 runs) into the game, but
Evan Longoria drove in two runs and had three hits.
Jeff Keppinger also had three of Tampa Bays 13 hits. The Rays got seven
runs after scoring only nine in he first five games of the homestand.
Longoria, who missed 85 games with a partially turn hamstring, came
inches short of his first home run since April. His RBI double in the
eighth inning was close enough for the umpire crew to review before
determining it had bounced off a rail and back into play.
It would have been the Rays first home run in five games.
"With the addition of guys like Longo, I think everybody else is able to
relax a bit and gain some confidence, and once youre able to do that,
things start rolling," outfielder Matt Joyce said.
Tampa Bay has won 16 straight series against Toronto at Tropicana Field.
The Rays have won six of eight games overall while the Blue Jays have
lost 15 of their last 19.
"I truly believe it can become contagious, offensively speaking,"
manager Joe Maddon said. "Its all based on confidence."
The confidence of the Rays pitching staff has never been higher. It has
reached the point where Moores first two innings on Thursday were
considered something of a struggle.
"The start of the game wasnt the way I wanted to start -- 27 pitches in
the top half," he said. "I just didnt quite have the feel for things
there in the first inning."
Rajai Davis led off the game with a double and scored the Blue Jays run
on Moores balk. It was the only run given up by Moore in his last three
starts. The rookie left-hander is 8-2 with a 2.92 ERA since the end of
May.
"Obviously Im extremely pleased with where Ive come from the beginning
of the season," he said. "After not putting together too many quality
starts, now Im getting a little more hungry for the eighth or ninth
inning, just to see what those are like."
An error on first baseman Edwin Encarnacion opened the way for the Rays
three-run second inning off Henderson Alvarez (7-9).
Alvarez gave up 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings.
NOTES: The Blue Jays placed 3B Brett Lawrie on the disabled list in
order to give him eight more days to recover from an injury in his
rib/oblique area. Toronto will fill Lawries roster spot before Friday
nights game ... Rays pitcher Jeff Niemann, on the disabled list since
May 15 with a fractured right fibula, will make a second rehabilitation
start Monday or Tuesday and hopes to return by the end of August. ...
Rays DH Luke Scott (strained right oblique) will begin a rehab
assignment Friday. ... Ben Zobrist played shortstop for the Rays for the
first time since 2009 . . . INF Brooks Conrad has accepted his
re-assignment, and the Rays released Matt Mangini to make room for
Conrad on the Durham roster.

The 38-year-old who spent the last four years with the Alouettes as
offensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach under Marc Trestman has a
game to play against his former team when Toronto faces Montreal in a
CFL East Division battle tonight.TORONTO -- A cup triumph in the books,
its back to reality for Toronto FC.
Nine games, no points in MLS play. And the prospect of plenty of time to
think about that wretched record if it continues Saturday against the
visiting Philadelphia Union (2-6-2).
Thanks to the next round of World Cup qualifiers, Toronto (0-9-0) has a
three-week break before it resumes play in Kansas City on June 16.
Toronto outplayed an underperforming Vancouver 1-0 midweek to win 2-1 on
aggregate and lift the Voyageurs Cup for the fourth straight year.
Another win going into the league hiatus would be welcome.
"We could sign off on a great note," midfielder Terry Dunfield said
Friday.
"I dont think were a million miles off. I think weve been close in the
league several times," he added. "We just need to get that monkey of our
back and get those three points. And then I think the points will come.
"But every Wednesday night game under the lights in a cup, weve been a
different class this season. So for sure if we can carry that mentality
into the league, that can only help."
Philadelphia, at least from the standings, represents Torontos best
chance to pick up some points.
The Union stand 18th in the league, with an eight-point bulge over MLS
doormat Toronto.
"Theyre kind of similar to us," said Toronto defender Jeremy Hall. "They
play well, they miss a few chances and they give up a bunch of silly
goals.
"I know a lot of the guys on the team just from playing with them
through college, youth national teams. A young team, hard-working team
and Peter Nowak is a coach who demands a lot of his players. Its going
to be a dogfight."
Said Dunfield: "Theyre a strong physical side, and theyve been a little
bit unlucky as well."
Midfielder Julian De Guzman called the Union a physical team that likes
to go forward.
"But we know that theyre breakable. They dont do so well on the road,"
added de Guzman.
It may be a low-scoring affair.
The two have combined for 15 goals in 19 games. Seven other teams have
matched or exceeded that total individually.
Toronto has been blanked in four of its five home league games this
season, scoring twice in the other match. The Union have been shut out
in two of their five road outings with just three away goals to their
credit.
One of those goals came last Saturday when Philadelphia rallied for a
1-1 tie in Dallas, ending a three-game losing streak.
Still, Philadelphia has good memories of Toronto last season. The Union
humiliated TFC 6-2 at BMO Field and then tied Toronto 1-1 in PPL Park in
October in a result that clinched Philadelphias first ever playoff
spot.
Toronto coaches and players have been scratching their head as to why
the team has excelled in cup competition (3-1-4 this season) but tanked
in the league.
Forward Reggie Lambe offered a simple suggestion for spreading the
wealth.
"I think in our mind we should just take the league as a cup match. If
we do that, then maybe well get wins," said the 21-year-old Bermudian.
Its been eight months and 23 games since Toronto has recorded
back-to-back wins. Manager Aron Winters team beat Colorado 2-1 in league
play and FC Tauro 1-0 in the CONCACAF Champions League last September.
Toronto is also looking to avoid setting any further records for
futility. Ed Reed Jersey.
Already in the record book for longest losing streak to start the
season, Toronto wants no part of the league record for consecutive
losses (12, set by the 1999 MetroStars).
And Toronto faces a tough schedule after the break with away games in
Kansas City and Houston.
Wednesdays win did lift the spirits of the players, who trained at BMO
Field on Friday in torrid 29-degree heat.
"You could feel it in the practice, in the atmosphere in the changing
room," said de Guzman.
"You can tell in the changing room, everyones buzzing," added defender
Richard Eckersley. "Training was lively.
"We want to make it (winning) more consistent now. Not every month or
so."
De Guzman was sent off against Vancouver during a scuffle which started
when Whitecaps forward Sebastien Le Toux shoved Ryan Johnson. Players
started congregating and de Guzman made contact with Jun Marquez
Davidsons face in what was closer to a caress than a punch.
"I just gave him a little tap. He kind of overreacted, if you saw. It
almost looked like he had CPR going on there," de Guzman said of the
medical treatment that followed.
While de Guzman admitted his emotions got the best of him, Hall
appreciated his midfielder sticking up for the team.
"We fought, we covered for each other," he said. "We were
slide-tackling. There were little scuffles and we just had each others
back for 90 minutes and I that was the reason why we won."
Winter echoed the sentiment.
"We fought and battled for it. We played well."
Le Toux was also ejected after receiving a second yellow in the melee.
Toronto could probably use the break in the schedule. Thanks to the
CONCACAF Champions League and Amway Canadian Championship play, Toronto
has already played 17 games this season.
Teams like Philadelphia, the Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City have
just played 11 games.
"Its going to be tough on Saturday," Hall said. "Legs are heavy. We put a
lot out there Wednesday night. ... Well just have to push ourselves on
the weekend."
Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath has been sidelined with concussion
symptoms but could be pressed back in action after backup Chase Harrison
rolled his ankle last weekend.
Toronto will be without forward Eric Avila (ankle contusion), which may
open the door for Danny Koevermans to return to the starting 11.
Since returning from a groin injury, the big Dutchman -- one of Torontos
three designated players -- has only seen action from the bench. With a
contract worth US$1.563 million this season, thats an expensive backup.
Winter has said that his preference is to play both Koevermans and
Johnson, pointing to Koevermans post-injury fitness as the reason he has
been relegated to the bench.
"I was fit Wednesday also. Last week also," Koevermans said pointedly.
Winter suggested Koevermans day may be coming.
"To play in this league you have to be 100 per cent fit ... And of
course when Dannys fit, hes going to play."
Notes -- Luis Boa Morte remains on trial with Toronto. Winter said a
decision on whether to sign the 34-year-old former Portuguese
international will be helped by seeing him play in a reserve match
Saturday.
