MONTREAL -- Troy Smith is looking like he will grow into the job as the Montreal Alouettes starting quarterback after all. After the offence was stifled in a season opening loss last week in Calgary, Smith and the entire Alouettes team were a notch better in a 24-9 victory over the struggling B.C. Lions on Friday night. Montreal (1-1) posted the first win by an East Division team over a western club this season and dropped the Lions to 0-2. "There wasnt a lot of difference in play calls, it was just the quarterback making different reads and doing different things," said Smith. "Obviously, having a little more time with the co-ordinator and the offensive line coach is going to help you. "Im kind of greedy in the sense that I like throwing touchdown passes and I didnt get one, so Im still chomping at the bit to get my first one of the season, but if we keep getting wins, thats the most important statistic." Running back Brandon Whitaker and linebacker Chip Cox scored first quarter touchdowns and Sean Whyte kicked three field goals and a single for the Alouettes. The defence made the real difference, sacking B.C. starter Kevin Glenn five times, picking off two passes and recovering a fumble. Smith was sacked only once and was not picked off. Smith completed 17 passes for a relatively modest 187 yards, but he helped the Alouettes pick up 203 yards on the ground with a few timely rushing first downs. The Lions produced only one Paul McCallum field goal with Glenn at quarterback. Backup John Beck had an eight-yard TD toss to Courtney Taylor with 1:20 left in the game on a drive aided by three Montreal penalties. It was their first TD since they got two in the first quarter of a loss last week at home to Edmonton. "This is a tough business to be in because you can be so high one day and so low the next," said the 35-year-old Glenn, who became the starter when Travis Lulay was placed on the six-game injured list with a shoulder injury. "Weve just got to make sure we stick together and try to turn this thing around. "Its a long season. The most important thing is to stick together as a team." The concern for B.C. going into the game was having newcomer Ryan Cave starting at left tackle after only two practices with the team this week. It wasnt all his doing, but Montreal spent much of the first half in the Lions backfield, either sacking Glenn or hurrying throws. Bowman said the defence didnt key on Cave. "The way (defensive co-ordinator Noel Thorpe) called the game, it wasnt anything against Cave," said Bowman, whose four sacks was one short of a team record. "I actually thought he played OK. "Coach Thorpe called a masterful game. We didnt take advantage of one player, but their scheme in general." The defence came up with the first score 7:36 into the game on a play that had the crowd of 20,018 on its feet. Defensive lineman Scott Paxson reached up a hand to pick off Glenns throw, then flipped the ball to Cox to run 20 yards into the end zone. It was a fifth career TD for Cox. "I had contain on that play," said Paxson. "The quarterback threw the ball a little low and I got my hands on it. After that, I wasnt really thinking. I saw I was about to be tackled so I pitched it to Chip." Cox had one defensive tackle, leaving the 2013 outstanding defensive player two short of moving into the top-10 in CFL history. Smith led a nine-play, 71-yard drive capped by Whitakers 32-yard TD run at 13:27. Whyte added a pair of field goals in the second quarter, one of them set up by an Andrew Harris fumble that was recovered by Jerald Brown on the B.C. 43 yard line. The other came after Smiths 37-yard pass to S.J. Green, which appeared to hit the ground. However, B.C. coach Mike Benevides said spotters got the replay late and the referee ruled that the next play had started before the challenge flag was thrown. "That would have been a difference of three points," Benevides said. "Id love to get the replay on time." Montreal back-up quarterback Tanner Marsh fumbled on a third-and-short play into Solomon Elimimians hands at the Montreal 40 to set up McCallums 24-yard field goal to put B.C. on the board 5:41 into the second half. Glenn had a promising drive die when he was intercepted by Marc-Olivier Bouillette in the end zone early in the fourth quarter. Glenn threw only seven picks all of last season with Calgary, but has six in two games with the Lions. B.C. finally scored with Beck in the game. "I wanted Beck to get some work,"said Benevides. "He had some time to warm up, so I got him in there to get some game reps." The schedule doesnt get easier for the Lions, whose next game is at Saskatchewan on July 12. The Alouettes stay home to face 2-0 Winnipeg next Friday.

Salamida pitched a complete-game shutout Sunday afternoon, as the Goldeyes (43-25) hammered the Gary SouthShore RailCats (39-29) 12-0. "All these games in Gary are close, even at home weve played some close games," Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea said on the Jewel 101 post-game show. "All these wins are tough to get, but when you get a blowout win like, its nice to have, especially going into the all-star break." The win increases Winnipegs lead to three games in the American Associations North Division. After scoring the games first run in the top of the first inning, the Goldeyes busted open a tight game with six runs on six hits in the top of the sixth inning off RailCats starter Morgan Coombs. Eleven Goldeyes came to the plate in the inning, which was highlighted by Luis Alens two-RBI double that tied Fehlandt Lentini for the franchise record in doubles with 123. Winnipeg added three more runs in the top of the seventh, as Casey Haerther hit a solo home run and Donnie Webb and Jake Blackwood addded RBI doubles.dddddddddddd. The Goldeyes continued to pile it on with two runs in the top of the eighth. Haerther drove in another run with a single and Reggie Abercrombie drilled another RBI double. Winnipeg racked up 16 hits in the game. Abercrombie led the way with a four-for-five afternoon at the dish and four RBI. Haerther was also productive with a three-for-five day with a home run and three RBI. While the offensive surge was going on in the top of the late innings, Salamida was dominate against the RailCats batting order all afternoon, allowing just four hits and a walk, while striking out seven. Its his third complete-game shutout in a Goldeyes uniform, moving him into a tie with Roger Luque for second all-time in Goldeyes history. "I told Sal to go out there and fill up the strike zone. Thats what he did," Vermilyea said. "He threw his fastball to both sides of the plate. He was able to throw that slider early in the count for a strike and expand with it late. When he has both of those pitches working, hes going to be hard to hit." The Goldeyes will now take a two-day break for the 2014 American Association All-Star Celebrations, which happen in downtown Winnipeg on Monday and Tuesday.
