TORONTO – The Blue Jays entered their three-game series
with the American League Central-leading Tigers losers of
five of six, a slide thats dropped the club five games
behind the Orioles for the division lead and a half-game
behind the Royals in a cluttered race for the second wild
card spot. The team is battered, without Brett Lawrie
(oblique) for most of the rest of the regular season
while eagerly awaiting the returns of Adam Lind (foot)
and Edwin Encarnacion (quadriceps). The Blue Jays dodged
a bullet with Melky Cabrera, who played on Friday night
despite being hit by a pitch on the right elbow in the
first inning the night before. Then theres the opponents
starting pitching, a veritable murderers row of three
consecutive Cy Young award winners. They are, in order:
the Tigers Max Scherzer (Detroit – 2013) and David Price
(Tampa Bay – 2012), along with the Mariners Felix
Hernandez (Seattle – 2011). Thanks a lot. "Were just
going to take it one game at a time," said shortstop Jose
Reyes. "We know the next couple of games are going to be
tough because were going to face some good pitching but
we have our plan, we have our approach. Were just going
to go to home plate with the same mentality, looking for
a good pitch and try to put the best swing on the ball
and try to go from there because we know its not going to
be easy." Missing one-third of their starting lineup,
three of the most important bats and Lawries plus
defence, Toronto is treading water in an increasing
cluttered wild card race. The Jays entered Fridays action
in a three-way tie with the Yankees and Mariners, nipping
at the Royals heels. Its reached the point when the club
can ill afford another protracted slide. As time passes
by, it becomes less about the number of games by which
you trail the wild card leader and more about how many
teams there are between. A two or a three-game deficit
can seem like a mountain when a club has to leapfrog
multiple others. Reyes has a better solution. "We want to
win the division," said Reyes. "Getting the second wild
card is nothing. We want to win our division. Thats the
main goal for us. We know were missing some key pieces in
our lineup but we have to deal with what we have here. If
everyone continues to contribute were going to be fine."
CABRERA OKAY Jose Reyes arrived at Rogers Centre on
Friday afternoon and when he checked the lineup, he saw
Melky Cabreras name underneath his own. He breathed a
sigh of relief. "Theres no doubt we need Melky in the
lineup if we want to continue to win," said Reyes.
"Melkys been one of, if not the most consistent player in
our lineup so we need him back." Cabrera went 1-for-5
with a single and an RBI on Friday night. He tried
wearing a bulky elbow protector during batting practice
– think Barry Bonds – but opted for a less obstructive
wrap. LIND UPDATE Adam Lind wasnt in the Gulf Coast
League Blue Jays lineup on Friday afternoon. He went 2-
for-2 in his first minor league rehabilitation game on
Thursday but felt tightness in his back. Lind has a
history of back issues. General manager Alex Anthopoulos
said the expectation still is for Lind to return to the
lineup sometime next week.

Calif. -- Anna Nordqvist rallied to win the Kia Classic
on Sunday at Aviara for her second victory in her last
four LPGA Tour starts. Two strokes behind leaders Cristie
Kerr and Lizette Salas entering the round, Nordqvist
closed with her second straight 5-under 67 for a one-
stroke victory over Salas. "Im very excited. I still cant
believe it," Nordqvist said. "I was a couple of shots
back going into today, but this morning I told myself to
give it a shot and I ended up making quite of bit of
birdies out there. Im very excited to have two wins this
season." The 26-year-old Swede won the LPGA Thailand last
month to end a five-year victory drought, holding off
top-ranked Inbee Park. In 2009, Nordqvist won the LPGA
Championship and LPGA Tour Championship. Projected to
jump from 16th to ninth in the world, Nordqvist finished
at 13-under 275 and earned $255,000. She two-putted for
par on the par-4 18th, holing a 2-footer. "My hands were
shaking a little, Im not going to lie," Nordqvist said.
"You never know with the sun setting you see every little
spike mark. So I tried not to focus on that and see the
hole." The Kraft Nabisco, the first major tournament of
the year, is next week in Rancho Mirage. "I really love
the majors," Nordqvist said. "Its a tougher set up on
course and I feel more pressure, more spotlight on the
tournament and I like that. I like the test and it seems
like it is going to be pretty windy next week which will
make it tougher. Im very happy with the way Im playing
and cant wait to tee it up." Salas birdied the 18th for a
70. "Im going to put this in the back of my mind, but
know I can make putts down the stretch," Salas said. The
former Southern California player is winless on the LPGA
Tour. "Obviously, I cant control what Anna does," she
said. "Shes been playing awesome this year and already
had a win, congrats to her. Thats just golf. Sometimes
thiings go your way and sometimes they dont.dddddddddddd
Luckily, I finished with a birdie on a good note, and off
to the Kraft."" Nordqvist changed equipment and started
working with instructor Jorje Parada during the off-
season after considering leaving the tour. The former
Arizona State player made a short birdie putt on the par-
4 first hole and added birdies on the par-5 eighth and
par-4 ninth to make the turn at 11 under. She also
birdied the par-4 13th, par-3 14th and par-4 16th before
dropping a stroke on the par-5 17th. Lexi Thompson was
third at 11 under after a 68, and Chella Choi was another
stroke back after a 69. Kerr closed with a 73 to finish
fifth at 9 under. Park, preparing for her title defence
next week at Mission Hills, had a 68 to join third-ranked
Stacy Lewis (71), Se Ri Pak (69) and Eun-Hee Ji (71) at 8
under. Dori Carter, the 244th-ranked player who shot a
course-record 64 on Friday, finished with a 73 to tie for
10th at 7 under. Michelle Wie had a 70 to tie for 16th at
5 under. Laura Diaz had a hole-in-one for the second
straight day to become the second player in LPGA Tour
history to make two aces in a tournament. Diaz aced the
par-3 third hole Saturday in the third round, then holed
out on the par-3 sixth on Sunday -- a shot she followed
with an eagle on the par-4 seventh. She also had an eagle
Saturday on the par-5 fifth. Jenny Lidback is the only
other player with two aces in an event, accomplishing the
feat in the 1997 Tournament of Champions. Diaz used a 6-
iron Sunday on the 157-yard sixth. "I was trying to hit
it a little left to right high and take a little bit off
of it," Diaz said. "And, yeah, I did it. It went in." On
the eagle on No. 7, she holed out from 122 yards with a
50-degree wedge, the club she used to hole out twice
Saturday. Shes the first tour player to follow an ace
with an eagle on the next hole The 38-year-old Diaz shot
2-under 70 in each round to finish at 2 under.
