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. LHP Aaron Loup was designated for assignment.PERSONAL MILESTONEDoziers two-run double gave him a career-best 78 RBI.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 1B Joe Mauer returned after missing three games with a sore quadriceps.Blue Jays: C Russell Martin got the day off. ... 2B Devon Travis returned after missing four games with a sore knuckle on his right ring finger, while OF Michael Saunders was back after missing two games with a sore hamstring. ... Pillar started after being scratched Friday because of flulike symptoms.UP NEXTTwins: RHP Kyle Gibson (5-8, 5.09) is 1-1 with a 4.42 ERA in three career starts against Toronto.Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (9-13, 4.43) has allowed no more than two earned runs in three of his past four starts. Ultra Boost Scontate . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Scarpe Ultra Boost Offerta . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. http://www.ultraboostoutlet.it/ . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take the field for their first training camp practice Thursday morning, quarterback Jameis Winston will take on a new role as face of the franchise, replacing defensive tackle?Gerald McCoy.Me and Jameis had a private conversation about what he feels this team needs me to be as a leader, McCoy said Wednesday just after veterans reported.Hes an intelligent guy, McCoy said of Winston. Young or not, [hes] very mature ... very intelligent. He sits back, he watches and analyzes and he [saw] something that I could do to help this team be better. Its not hard to do. Its just a matter of me doing it.Although McCoys role within the team is changing, the 28-year-old said hes ready to embrace it.You guys are used to seeing me do things a certain way, McCoy said. Thats going to change because the face of the franchise came to me and said, Hey, listen. If were going to win, we need you to do this, OK? Our quarterback said this is what he needs, so this is what Im going to do.McCoy wouldnt reveal the exact details of the conversation, but the four-time Pro Bowler hinted that he was moving away from the spotlight.[Im] passing the torch. Ronde [Barber] gave me the torch. I didnt ask him for it. He passed it to me. So, Here you go, Jameis. Go take us to the Super Bowl.There was no grand entrance to camp for McCoy on Wednesday -- no bathrobe or pajama pants like in past years, and the vibrant red streak of hair he sported all last season is gone.?The transition from McCoy to Winston over the past year has had a few hiccups. Just before the Thursday night game in Week 15 last year, a fan captured video of Bucs players huddled up around Winston, while McCoy was noticeably absent. Instead, he was walking around the outside of the huddle with no helmet, far removed from teammates, aappearing detached and indifferent.ddddddddddddcCoy denied Wednesday that there was any rift.I love Jameis, man, he said. The day after he got drafted, I went to both his parents and told them, Im going to take care of him. Dont worry about him. When you get on that plane and go home, I got him. I love him, man. Hes like my brother.Winston has immersed himself in the Tampa Bay community. He has participated in diabetes walks and kickball games in the park designed to strengthen community relations with law enforcement officers, and he has visited survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando and served as a staff member for many of his teammates camps this summer.By showing up at events, he has filled the citys need for a star quarterback.When they show commercials of the Bucs, theyre not showing Gerald -- theyre showing Jameis, McCoy said. Thats for a reason, and Im happy about that because if your quarterback is the face of your franchise, usually that tags to winning, or going in a positive direction. Im excited about it.Winston also lost 20 pounds this offseason in an attempt to get stronger and healthier. While McCoy took notice of the weight loss, that wasnt what ultimately won over his support as a teammate, and neither was his 26-1 record as a starter in college. Instead, it was Winstons authenticity.Hes Jameis. Hes him. He [doesnt] care if Im Gerald, if youre Vincent Jackson, if youre one of the Glazers [the Bucs owners], if youre Mr. Licht, he doesnt care. Hes going to be Jameis, McCoy said. For a guy to come in and regardless of what people say to him, how people feel about him, hes going to be himself -- you cant do anything but respect that.
