After getting their road trip off to a winning start, the Toronto Blue Jays head to Fenway Park on Monday evening to kick off a three-game set with the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays took two of three from the hosting New York Yankees over the weekend, snapping a 17-game road losing streak to them on Saturday and then winning on Sunday to make it two in a row in the Bronx for the first time since Aug. 2-3, 2010. Toronto has won seven of its last nine overall and is three games back of the first-place Baltimore Orioles in the AL East. "We have to do the little things to win," said Torontos Dioner Navarro, who hit the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning on Sunday. "We battled, battled, battled and came through at the end." R.A. Dickey had to battle last time out versus the Red Sox and gets a rematch with the club tonight. Dickey won for only the second time in eight starts with a 6-4 triumph over Boston on Wednesday, winning despite giving up four runs on nine hits and a walk in six innings. The right-hander gave up a three-run homer to David Ortiz in the first inning, but settled down after that and improved to 8-10 with a 4.04 earned run average on the season. "When you start the game giving up three runs without recording an out, it can really weight on you mentally," Dickey stated. "It was a very satisfying win for me personally because I kept us in the game long enough for us to scratch it out." The 39-year-old Dickey has won both of his starts versus the Red Sox this season. Right-hander Clay Buchholz took the loss opposite Dickey on Wednesday and counters the knuckleballer again. He failed to hold the three-run first-inning lead as Toronto countered with three runs of its own in the bottom of the frame. Jose Bautista, Colby Rasmus and Josh Thole all drove in runs in the bottom of the frame off Buchholz, who then failed to hold a 4-3 lead as Ryan Goins hit an RBI triple off him in the sixth. Goins then scored later in the frame on Xander Bogaerts throwing error, saddling Buchholz with a loss that dropped him to 5-6 with a 5.50 ERA. "Ill take the blame for this one," said Buchholz, who struck out just one batter over six innings. The 29-year-old is just 1-2 with a 5.60 ERA in three starts versus the Blue Jays this season. Boston sits last in the AL East, 10 1/2 games out of first place, but did snap a five-game slide with a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Ortiz hit a three- run homer, giving him 25 home runs and 76 RBI in 102 games. "Ive been feeling a lot better since the break," said Ortiz. "Those four days off helped a lot, and Im getting back into it." Toronto has won seven of 10 against the Red Sox this season, sweeping a three- game set in Boston from May 20-22.

Paul Millsap Nuggets Jersey ., climbed from seventh to fifth spot in womens competition Sunday at the ISU world junior figure skating championships.KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Canadas kids passed their first test at the Four Nations Cup with flying colours.Jillian Saulnier and Jamie Lee Rattray each scored their first goal at the senior level Tuesday as the host country opened the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Sweden.The 22-year-olds are among 10 players making their debut for Canada as the womens national program looks to develop its next generation of talent with an eye towards the 2018 Olympics.Im really excited to get the first tournament under my belt, said Rattray. Its a stepping stone and hopefully theres more to come.Canadas roster has a much different look than the one that scored the dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind overtime victory against the United States at the Sochi Olympics.Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette, Gillian Apps, Meaghan Mikkelson, as well as goaltenders Shannon Szabados and Charline Labonte, are among the veterans who were left off roster for the event at the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops to give younger players a taste of the international stage.Hockey Canada held a camp in September ahead of the tournament and made it clear to all the invitees whats expected of them at this level.We told them right from the beginning: We didnt bring you in here just to experience the camp. We brought you here because we believe you can play on this team, said Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh. They proved us right.Canadian captain Haley Irwin, one of the veterans on the team, said it was exciting to see the youth coming up through the ranks.Its awesome for (Saulnier and Rattray) to get their first goals in their first game, said Irwin. Our young group is very talented, very skilled, very hard working. As we go through the tournament well see them get better and better.Emerance Maschmeyer — a 20-year-old who also played her first game for Canada — made 12 saves to record the shutout on Tuesday, while Kim Martin Hasson stopped 40 shots for Sweden in a losing effort.I love getting shots, said Maschmeyer. But I cant complain about not getting shots because that means my teams doing really well.In the days other game, Dani Cameranesi had a goal and an assist as the U.S. opened its schedule with a 5-0 victory over Finland.Canada plays its rival to the south on Wednesday in the first meeting between the two teams since Sochi, something that definitely isnt lost on the young players.Its just a healthy, competitive rivalry, said Saulnier. Its always a big game and the countries love it. Its something thats very hard-fought and very clean. Its a good battle so its definitely a fun one to play in.After Saulnier scored to give her team a 1-0 lead in thee first period against Sweden, Rattray calmed any Canadian nerves 2:31 into the second, moving in and ripping a shot upstairs shortside on Hasson.ddddddddddddI was pretty excited to get out there and the atmosphere was pretty fun, said Rattray. Its pretty great to be in your home country and its definitely a great way to start.Canada and the U.S. remain the two dominant powers in womens hockey, and Hasson was the only reason Canada didnt win by a more lopsided scoreline. Sweden barely touched the puck in the second period as Canada cycled for entire shifts and held a 19-0 edge in shots.Every team has their own style of play, said Saulnier. Its really important we stick to our game plan and try not to focus too much on theirs. Just focus on the little things and hopefully that will work for us.Sweden had a bit more pushback in the third, but Hasson continued standing tall to keep the deficit at just two, making big saves on Rebecca Johnston and Jessica Campbell.Saulnier opened the scoring at 7:22 of the first period, taking a feed from Jenelle Kohanchuk off the rush and firing a quick shot past Hasson.As expected, the Canadians came in waves throughout the opening 20 minutes, controlling the puck for long stretches on an ice surface that looked to be tilted in one direction. But they couldnt find another way past Hasson, despite a 12-5 shot advantage, often passing up clear opportunities in search of a better options that werent there against an opponent content to collapse in front of its own net.There was a couple times when we came right around the slot and werent even looking for the shot — we were looking to make a play, said Derraugh. I think especially when you have a younger team with some veterans they tend to do that.With a step up in class at the tournament just around the corner, the players know they will have be more ruthless in front of goal in order to succeed.I think it was a good first start for us, especially with a lot of newcomers, said Irwin. Im sure they had a few nerves. Theres always things we can get better at.We have to bury the puck on 42 shots more than twice, but thats something that will come.Notes: Canada has won the Four Nations Cup tournament 13 times — including last year in Lake Placid, N.Y. — while the U.S. claimed the other five titles. ...
