ST. Larry Krystkowiak Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Catcher Jose Lobaton had a game-ending triple, two RBIs and a big RBO for the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. RBO? Runs Blocked Out. Rays manager Joe Maddon used to keep track of them when he managed in the minor leagues. With the potential go-ahead run on third base in the ninth inning, Lobaton blocked a pitch in the dirt keeping the Maicer Izturis on third. "I hope I can keep blocking and making triples," said Lobaton, who was showered with Gatorade, a whipped-cream pie and even ice cream after driving in Yunel Escobar with his opposite-field triple. "I didnt know I got ice cream for triples," he said. "Ill hit more triples, but Im happy with doubles." Maddon, an ex-catcher, was most happy with the block of Fernando Rodneys pitch in the dirt. "When (pitchers) are not confident in their catcher to be able to do that, then thats when they hang pitches," he said. "But when was the last time you heard of a catcher hitting a walk-off triple?" Lobatons triple came off Aaron Loup (4-6) after Escobar walked. Lobaton had three hits in the Rays third straight win, which pulled them to within one game of the AL-East leading Boston Red Sox. Rodney (5-3) gave up two hits to start the ninth but worked out of the jam, one of Torontos many squandered chances. The Blue Jays had 13 hits, including leadoff hits in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, but left 11 men on base. "We had the lead, we gave it up," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "Had plenty of opportunities, couldnt get it done. Thats why theyre at the top and were at the bottom. Its pretty simple." The Blue Jays had tied it in the eighth when, with runners on second and third and one out, Anthony Gose hit a grounder to shortstop. Escobars throw was off line to home plate and Brett Lawrie scored. In his fifth start this season against Tampa Bay, R.A. Dickey gave up six hits and four runs over seven innings. He had pitched a two-hit shutout here on June 26. Adam Lind, Edward Encarnacion and Gose drove in runs against Jeremy Hellickson to put Toronto up, 3-1. Playing in his first game since being recalled up from Triple-A Buffalo, Gose bounced a two-out single up the middle after a triple by Josh Thole. Matt Joyce cut the Blue Jays lead to 3-2 with a home run off Dickey in the sixth. It was Joyces first home run since June 15, ending a career-long span of 43 homerless games. "I feel like its been years. I almost forgot what that felt like," said Joyce. "Dickey was tough. Youre just trying to stay on it as long as possible and hopefully you run into one. It kind of got us going a little bit." Escobar and Sam Fuld drove in runs to lift the Rays to a 4-3 lead in the seventh, chasing Dickey. "Tonight for me was tough because I had a good knuckleball," Dickey said. "This is a good place for me. Its not often you give up eight baserunners and four of them score. A very bizarre night. We should have won that game in regulation." Hellickson pitched six innings, giving up nine hits and three earned runs. "I gave em a chance to win," said Hellickson, who is 0-3 in his last four starts. "Its amazing what these guys can do when you keep em within striking distance." Izturis had three of Torontos 13 hits. The Blue Jays led off each of the last three innings with hits, but left 11 men on base. NOTES: Only two other catchers (Cincinnatis Dioner Navarro and Minnesotas Ryan Doumit) have hit walk-off triples since 1994, and both were within the last year. ... The Blue Jays activated LHP J.A.

Subban – Scored the overtime winner and assisted on Montreal’s earlier goal, both on the power play, in a 2-1 win over Nashville.ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- From his catchy nickname to his sturdy performance on the field, Calvin Johnson often seems indestructible. So it was a bit startling when the star wide receiver was limited by injuries toward the end of last season, finally sitting out the finale after his Detroit Lions were eliminated from playoff contention. Johnson had surgery in the off-season on a knee and a finger, both of which caused problems for him in 2013. He still put up terrific numbers for the Lions, but he was held under 100 yards in the last three games he played and couldnt prevent the collapse that kept Detroit out of the post-season. On Tuesday, "Megatron" was out on the practice field, preparing for what he hopes will be a healthier, more successful season. "It feels great to be out here playing with the guys," Johnson said. "I missed a lot of practice time last year before games. You definitely feel like you need that practice time before a game, just to get on one accord with your quarterback." Johnson caught 84 passes for 1,492 yards last season -- great stats for almost any player, but his worst output in both categories since 2010. It was never entirely clear how much Johnsons knee was bothering him, but then-coach Jim Schwartz conceded in late December that the star receiver was nowhere near 100 per cent. "It was bad enough where I had to get it drained every week," Johnson said. "The finger, it was stuck at 90 degrees. Its good to have those things freed up." The Lions fired Schwartz and replaced him with Jim Caldwell in the off-season, meaning Detroit is implementing a new offence. Quarterback Matthew Stafford will be under pressure to limit the mistakkes that plagued him last year -- and he should have an easier time if Johnson is back at full strength. Guy Rodgers Jersey. Although Johnson missed only two games last season, he wasnt able to practice all that regularly. That time is valuable even for a veteran who will turn 29 in September. "You kind of lose your wind a little bit. You know the plays, but I feel that you have to go out there and practice to be able to play at your best," Johnson said. "Im a firm believer in that. I had experience in the offence, therefore I was able to go out there and still play, but Im a firm believer that being out there during the week definitely improves your performance on Sunday." With Nate Burleson no longer on the Lions, Johnson is now the elder statesmen of Detroit wide receivers, and hes always led by example. Its easier to do that, of course, when hes healthy enough to practice. "Its nice to have him back and working at full strength. Im so happy for him," centre Dominic Raiola said. "The guys so tough. Its hard to get him out of there. Hell play through anything. For him to be healthy right now and being out there with the team, thats big time." NOTES: Caldwell said injured CB Chris Houston has been excused from practice. Rookie WR T.J. Jones, the teams sixth-round draft pick, was also excused Tuesday. ... Caldwell joked a bit about his reputation for remaining even-keeled. "Theres no need for a whole lot of cussing, screaming, yelling and all that kind of stuff," Caldwell said. "Its a mini quiz out here. I never had any of my professors yelling in my ear when I was sitting at the desk filling out those multiple-choice questions." ' ' '
