Mark Buehrle set the tone to what has been a dominating
start to the season with a near-shutout victory over
Tampa Bay back in early April. The veteran will now shoot
for his Major League-leading ninth victory of the
campaign against the club as the Toronto Blue Jays play
the middle contest of a three-game set on Tuesday night
versus the Rays. Buehrle went 12-10 in 33 starts with the
Blue Jays last season, posting a 4.15 earned run average
in his first season with the franchise. However, he has
appeared more comfortable in 2014, going 8-1 through 10
starts with a 2.16 ERA. He has not allowed more than two
runs in nine of those outings and at 35 years of age is
the oldest pitcher to win at least eight of his first 10
starts since both Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling went
8-1 in 2002 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Buehrles
season began with a victory over Tampa Bay on April 2,
when he struck out a season-high 11 batters over 8 2/3
scoreless innings. That improved the hurler to 9-5 with a
4.21 ERA in 23 career meetings with the Rays, 18 of those
starts. The left-handed Buehrle has won four straight
decisions since suffering his only loss of the season on
April 25 versus Boston. He got revenge for that setback
last time out on Thursday, limiting the Red Sox to a pair
of runs over seven frames of a 7-2 win. In the process,
he became baseballs first eight-game winner and only St.
Louis Adam Wainwright has been able to join him since.
"Its nice, obviously," Buehrle said. "I try to throw it
out the window and get ready for my next start." Buehrle
should have some room to work with tonight if the Blue
Jays can continue their hot hitting. Toronto went deep
three times in Mondays 10-5 series-opening win, giving
the club a homer in nine straight games and an MLB- high
73 home runs on the season. Edwin Encarnacion hit a solo
homer versus the Rays and has hit nine homers over his
last 11 games. He has also gone deep 13 times in May,
breaking Jose Bautistas 2010 club record for most homers
in the month. Dioner Navarro and Steve Tolleson hit
consecutive home runs in the fourth inning in Torontos
seventh straight victory and 10th in its past 11 games.
That bailed out starter Drew Hutchison, who got the win
despite giving up five runs over five innings. "Nothing
was good, nothing was sharp," Hutchison said. The Rays
had a four-game winning streak snapped despite getting
home runs from Desmond Jennings, James Loney and David
DeJesus as starter Erik Bedard yielded eight runs and 13
hits in four-plus frames. "They just put the heavy gloves
on and beat us up tonight," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
That kind of output could be enough to win tonight given
Alex Cobbs current 21 2/3 scoreless-innings streak he
carries into this start. That run is the third-longest in
team history, behind Matt Moores 22 1/3-inning stretch
last season and James Shields club-record mark of 23
consecutive innings set in 2011. Cobb has not allowed a
run since giving up four over five innings of a loss to
Toronto on April 1 in his first start of the season,
dropping to 2-1 lifetime with a 2.95 ERA versus Toronto.
The 26-year-old followed up that loss to the Blue Jays
with consecutive scoreless outings before a trip to the
disabled list caused by a left oblique strain. He
returned to action for the first time in nearly six weeks
on Thursday and shut out Oakland over 6 2/3 innings,
scattering three hits and two walks while fanning six in
a no-decision. "He was outstanding," said Maddon of Cobb,
who is 1-1 with a 1.40 ERA on the year. "Having been off
as long as he had, you saw the stuff, the strike
throwing, the competitive nature." The Blue Jays have won
three of five versus the Rays this season.

.Y. -- Mark Steenhuis scored four goals and added two
assists to lead the Buffalo Bandits over the Toronto Rock
12-10 in National Lacrosse League action on
Saturday.WASHINGTON -- Julio Teheran allowed two runs in
seven solid innings and had two hits, and Atlanta knocked
out Stephen Strasburg in the fifth inning, as the Braves
beat the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Saturday night. Dan
Uggla had a two-run single for the Braves and Freddie
Freeman reached base five times with two hits and three
walks. Teheran (1-1) limited Washington to three hits,
including a two-run home run by Adam LaRoche. The Braves
right-hander was aided by a spectacular throw by B.J.
Upton, who caught a liner to medium centre by Bryce
Harper and threw out Jose Lobaton at the plate for an
inning-ending double play in the fifth. Strasburg (0-1)
allowed eight hits, three walks and three earned runs in
4 1-3 innings. Teheran walked four and hit a batter, but
he compensated with six timely strikeouts and two solid
singles to right field, the first of which drove in the
tying run with two out in the bottom of the fourth inning
and contributed to the early exit for Strasburg) It was
the second shaky outing of the year for the Nationals
right-hander. Strasburg allowed a pair of home runs in a
no-decision in Washingtons 9-7 opening day victory over
the Mets. Against the Braves, Strasburg had a 2-0 lead in
the fourth inning, but thhird baseman Ryan Zimmermans
two-out, two-run throwing error paved the way for two
unearned runs.dddddddddddd In the next inning, Strasburg
was sent to the dugout after allowing a walk and four
straight singles. The hits were supplied by Chris
Johnson, Justin Upton, Uggla, and Ryan Doumit. Andrelton
Simmons brought home the final run with a sacrifice fly
off reliever Aaron Barrett. Notes: In the final game of
the series on Sunday, Braves lefty Alex Wood (1-0, 1.29
ERA) will oppose Nationals right-hander Taylor Jordan,
who gets his first start of the season. . Nationals P
Doug Fister, who is out with a lat strain, may get some
throwing in on Sunday for the first time since he was
placed on the 15-day disabled list on March 29. "Through
exercise he feels pretty good," manager Matt Williams
said. "The test is going to be throwing and extending in
a controlled environment." ... Illness is going around
both clubhouses. Braves C Evan Gattis, who homered on
Friday, was out with flu-like symptoms, but was available
to pinch hit. Nationals P Gio Gonzalez is battling
illness. His next start is set for Tuesday against the
Marlins. .. Wood is the first left-hander the Nationals
will face this year.
