TORONTO -- Will Power used pit strategy to grab his third victory of the season and close in on Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud in the race for the IndyCar championship.Powers victory Sunday on the temporary road course at Exhibition Place was his third in four races, and he was second last week at Iowa. He has closed the gap on Pagenaud to 47 points in the standings, and the two are tied for the most wins in IndyCar this season.Were definitely closing the gap and weve got to keep pushing, man, the Australian said. If we can close that gap going into (the season finale) Sonoma, we can do this. We can win this championship, absolutely.He noted that Scott Dixon snatched the IndyCar title away from teammate Juan Pablo Montoya last year with a strong late surge all the way through Sonoma.As long as its mathematically possible, you should never give up, Power said. Dixon has been the example of that year after year. He said to me the other day, with six to go, he was 90 back. Just shows you how quickly that can change.Power pitted on Lap 57 of 85 for his final stop of the race, and moments later, defending race winner Josef Newgarden crashed when he ran over the curb in Turn 5. It brought out a caution and ruined the race for pole-sitter Dixon, who had dominated up to that point.Because Dixon -- along with Pagenaud and five others -- had yet to pit, they were behind Power and stuck in traffic when they did make their stop.It was a late call, Power said. I couldnt believe I came down pit lane and saw the yellow lights come on. I was so stoked to see yellow lights. Its not often you catch a yellow like that.We ran the top three all day. Had a fast car. Its very difficult to pass, so it was going to be a pit stop sequence if youre going to get by anyone, or a restart.Dixon led 56 laps but couldnt recover from having to pit under yellow and finished eighth. His plight earned sympathy from runner-up Helio Castroneves.Sometimes not the fastest car wins the race, the Brazilian said. It makes the level of everyone better. One day its going to play on your side, another day its not going to be on your side.A caution with four laps remaining -- first Jack Hawksworth hit a tire barrier, and in an unrelated incident, Juan Pablo Montoya hit the same barrier -- set up a final restart with one lap remaining. Power got a great start to pull away from teammate Castroneves to give Penske a 1-2 sweep.Castroneves rallied from an early flat tire to finish second.We are never giving up, especially now, he said. We are not giving up.Toronto native James Hinchcliffe finished third for his first career podium at his home race.As we were coming to the last restart, I saw everyone come to their feet and hoped I didnt screw it up, Hinchcliffe said of the home crowd support.Newgarden crashed to set up the race-deciding pit sequence and finished last in the 22-car field. The American was coming off a dominating victory last week on the oval at Iowa despite a broken right wrist suffered in a crash at Texas in June, and he appeared to aggravate his injury on the contact with the wall Sunday.The Iowa victory had pushed Newgarden to second in the standings behind Pagenaud, but his frustrating weekend dropped him to fifth in the standings leaving Toronto.Pagenaud finished ninth -- his eighth finish of ninth or better through 11 races this season.

Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Sydney are into their third AFL grand final in five years after ambushing Geelong early on Friday night at the MCG and winning by 37 points.The 2012 premiers jumped Geelong with the first eight goals of their preliminary final on the way to a convincing win, 15.7 (97) to 8.12 (60).The Swans will play the winner of Saturdays preliminary final between the Giants and the Western Bulldogs at Spotless Stadium.Geelong fought back hard in the third term to create some interest in the contest, but they were coming from too far back after trailing by 55 points.Sydneys early domination will reignite debate about the fairness of the round-23 bye.After Geelong beat Hawthorn in their qualifying final, it meant the Cats had played only once in 26 days before Friday night.By contrast, the Swans lost their qualifying final and had to come through last weeks semis.This had been widely tipped to be a tight battle, with little appearing to separate two of the leagues toughest teams.But the Swans pressure initially was manic and they put Geelong out of the contest early.It was reminiscent of the mugging Hawthorn inflicted on the Swans in the opening quarter of the 2014 grand final.Sydney kicked 7.2 to five behinds in the first quarter and the Cats did not score their first goal until four minutes into the second term.Isaac Heeney, Lance Franklin, Ben McGlynn, Luke Parker with two goals in as many minutes, and Dane Rampe set Sydney alight in the first quarter.The domination continued in the second term, with Sydney kicking four goals to two.Cats defender Harry Taylor went forward in the third term and kicked two goals as Geelong worked their way back into the match.When they kicked the first goal of the last term, they only trailed by five goals.But Cats veteran Corey Enright mucked up a kickout and Gary Rohan pounced at five minutes to kick the steadying goal that killed off Geelongs belated challenge.Geelong remarkably won the inside-50 count by a whopping 72 to 40, but they butchered too many chances in front of goal and the Swans defence, led by All Australian Dane Rampe, was outstanding.Swwans defender Aliir Aliir hurt his knee late in the first term and he will be their injury story of grand final week.ddddddddddddBut he was running along the boundary nearing halftime and might have been put on ice.Teammates Gary Rohan and Kurt Tippett, who were injured earlier in the finals series, had solid games on Friday night.Swans co-captain Jarrad McVeigh missed the match with a calf injury and said pre-game he was close to being available.Brownlow Medal favourite Patrick Dangerfield was best for the Cats.Geelong veteran Jimmy Bartel, who kicked a great goal in the second term, faces an uncertain AFL future.While he is likely to stay at Geelong, there is speculation about how much time he will spend next year in the VFL.Swans coach John Longmire praised his sides early ferocity.It was enormous, our pressure at the ball, the man with the ball, he said.He admitted to concern when Geelong pressed in the second half, but again was pleased that his team withstood the pressure.This is finals footy - youre not going to have it all your own way, he said.They certainly had a lot of inside 50s, but I thought our boys really stood up.We were one down (with Aliir injured) and kept going at it.Longmire said Aliir was a bit sore and added it was unclear whether he would be fit for the grand final.It was pointed out to Longmire that whoever Sydney play in the grand final is chasing history.So are we, was Longmires response.The Swans have regenerated their team superbly in the last two years, but Longmire said they still had to complete their hard work.Were thrilled to get an opportunity, but now we have to go out and execute - the job is ahead of us, he said.Cats coach Chris Scott said their opinion on the finals bye was unchanged - that they would rather have had it.We clearly need to analyse how we approached it, he said.We were confident going in ... we thought we gave ourselves every chance.It was completely in our control and we just didnt deliver.
