TORONTO -- Even in Little League, Melvin Upton Jr. couldnt remember circling the bases quite this way.Upton Jr. hit an RBI triple past a diving outfielder and continued home on a misplay, completing Torontos rally from a five-run deficit and sending the AL East-leading Blue Jays over the Minnesota Twins 8-7 Saturday.Thats a first, Upton Jr. said of his wild circuit.The speedy Upton, acquired in a trade with San Diego last month, has nine RBI in his past 14 games.Hes dynamic out there and were excited to have him, Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman said.Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in three runs as Toronto handed the Twins their ninth straight loss.Theres all different kinds of ways to lose games, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. That one was particularly difficult.The Blue Jays trailed 7-6 in the eighth when Kevin Pillar doubled with one out off Ryan Pressly (6-6). Upton followed with a triple past a diving Max Kepler in shallow right.Kepler slipped and fell trying to retrieve the ball, and accidentally kicked it onto the warning track. That allowed Upton to score standing up as a sellout crowd of 47,485 cheered wildly.I kind of knew it would be a triple once it got by him, Upton Jr. said, but rounding second I saw (third base coach Luis Perez) kept waving me and I kept going.A disappointed Kepler stared into his locker for several minutes before speaking with reporters.I made three mistakes, Kepler said. I take the blame.Molitor said he had no issue with Keplers aggressive dive.Sometimes we try to do too much and sometimes we play a little tentative and try not to make a mistake, Molitor said. Id rather have to back guys off than to get them going.Jason Grilli (5-3) worked one inning for the win and Roberto Osuna finished for his 29th save.A win like that can get some good things going for us, Grilli said.Manager John Gibbons agreed.That was a huge game, falling behind like we did and then to come back, Gibbons said. A little reminiscent of last year. It was a much-needed win.Minnesota led 5-0 before the Blue Jays rallied. Encarnacion hit his 36th homer and leads the AL with 105 RBI.Trevor Plouffe homered for the second straight game. He hadnt connected since July 1 before his first-inning drive Friday night.Dozier singled and scored on a wild pitch by Marcus Stroman in the first, singled again in the third, then hit a two-run double in Minnesotas four-run fourth.After Encarnacion homered in the sixth to make it 5-3, Plouffe homered off Bo Schultz in the seventh.Toronto chased starter Ervin Santana while scoring three times in the seventh. Pressly relieved with the bases loaded and gave up a two-run single to Josh Donaldson. Encarnacion followed with an RBI single off the glove of Plouffe at third.Things just snowballed, Molitor said. Youve got a team thats certainly capable of scoring runs in a hurry and got a little momentum.SEVEN UPToronto has won consecutive games in which it has allowed seven or more runs. The Blue Jays are 6-18 in such games this season.ROSTER SHUFFLEThe Blue Jays recalled Schultz from Triple-A Buffalo.

CHICAGO -- Cubs starter John Lackey left Sundays game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh inning with shoulder stiffness, but Lackey says hell be just fine.Im OK, Lackey said after the 6-4 loss.?The extra bullpen session was probably not the best for me. Ive been feeling a little tight since then. Trust me, Ive been out there feeling worse. Ill be alright.Twice in the past two weeks -- including Thursday -- Lackey has warmed up in the bullpen late in games as the Cubs played in extra innings, but neither time did he enter the game.On both occasions, Lackey had already thrown his side session between starts, adding more pitches to his day, which led to his early exit Sunday. The 37-year-old righty saiid hed be fine.ddddddddddddAn old thing, he joked. It was pretty tight. I feel like I could have gotten through that last hitter. Joe [Maddon] wanted to err on the cautious side. Well be alright.Lackey knelt down while grimacing after throwing a pitch to Randal Grichuk in the seventh inning Sunday. The pitcher threw one more before Maddon pulled him.Lackey made 33 starts last season, tying for the league lead, and led the Cubs with 24 this year, including Sundays game, in which he pitched 6.2 innings. He gave up four hits and one unearned one while striking out five and walking one. ' ' '
