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. ...

Mike Shawaryn Red Sox Jersey . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell said quarterback Matthew Stafford will play Sunday against the New York Giants, even though hes dealing with an injured right middle finger suffered against the Chicago Bears.Caldwell declined to address the exact nature of the injury during his news conference Monday. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that the injury is a PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joint dislocation and torn ligaments in the middle finger.He feels like obviously he can get it done, and also the doctors do as well, Caldwell said. Not going to talk to you about the nature of it, what happened, all the rumors and false reports and those kinds of things, but nevertheless hell be able to get through it.It affected him some yesterday when it first happened. I think you saw that through the course of the game, but hes a tough guy. He battled through it, and now he has an opportunity to work with the doctors and get things straightened out that need to be straightened out, and work through it this week, and he should be ready to go.Caldwell declined to say what the false reports weree.ddddddddddddHe said Well see when it comes to how Staffords injury will change what the Lions are able to do in their playbook. Caldwell said Stafford has never worn a glove, so he doesnt know how that could affect his starting quarterback, but he added that he coached Peyton Manning when Manning had to wear a glove.Stafford was injured on a play where a miscommunication led to an intentional grounding penalty.When Stafford threw the ball away, his hand hit Leonard Floyds hand.Caldwell said Stafford made plays Sunday even with the busted finger, and he anticipates hell be a little bit better after a week of practice and getting used to playing with it. Stafford was 21 of 35 for 223 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions Sunday in the 20-17 win.Any time that you have an issue with an arm or hand playing that position, or even your feet for that matter, because you push, Caldwell said. You push in there. People underscore the legs in terms of that.Its something to be dealt with. ' ' '
