TORONTO -- Sean Rodriguez sacrifice fly in the 10th inning gave Tampa Bay a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday as the Rays recovered from blowing a 5-1 lead. The Rays came into the game having lost four of their last eight games, throwing away leads of 4-0, 4-0, 3-0 and 2-0 along the way. But they hung on for the win this time after mounting their own comeback. The Jays were down to their last strike when pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. hit a solo home run to send the game into extra innings tied 5-5. The ball just cleared the left-field fence to the delight of 28,633 with the roof open at the Rogers Centre. Mayberrys seventh home run of the season -- the previous six were with Philadelphia -- was his fourth pinch hit homer of the campaign and the seventh of his career. After doing the hard work in the ninth, the Jays laid an egg in the 10th. Reliever Brandon Morrow (1-3) put Toronto in a hole leaving men on first and third with no outs for left-hander Brett Cecil after a Wil Myers walk and Logan Forsythe single. Things got worse when Forsythe stole second and Yunel Escobar walked to load the bases. Myers scored on Rodriguezs sacrifice fly but Jays third baseman Danny Valencia cut down Forsythe at the home on an ensuing groundout to limit the damage. Brandon Gomes and Jeff Beliveau, with his first save, pitched the 10th for Tampa, following Jake McGee (5-2). Tampa outhit Toronto 14-7. The Rays had seemed on the way to victory, with starter Chris Archer restricting the Jays to one run on three hits over seven innings. But Adam Linds three-run homer in the eighth made things interesting, cutting the Rays lead to 5-4. Linds drive over the left-field fence scored Jose Reyes and Jose Bautista, who had both singled off Rays reliever Grant Balfour. It was Linds second home run in as many days after a career-high 36-game homer drought. Edwin Encarnacion, who had homered off Archer in the seventh, followed Linds sixth of the season with a drive to the warning track. Ben Zobrist, with his 10th of the season, and Escobar, with a blast off the Level of Excellence just below the .500 level of the Rogers Centre, homered for Tampa. Tampa wins the series 2-1 after blanking the Jays 1-0 in Friday nights opener. Toronto had won five of its last six and 10 of 13 since Aug. 30, during which time it has outscored the opposition 70-30. Escobar, a former Jay, was booed as he rounded the bases after his solo moonshot off Todd Redmond in the eighth. The shortstop rubbed salt in the wound with his trademark celebration as he crossed home plate after his seventh homer of the season. Archer set down 10 in a row after loading the bases in the third. The streak ended when Encarnacion led off the bottom of the seventh with a home run to left-field. Encarnacions 32nd homer -- his second in as many days -- tied Bautista for the club lead. Archer struck out nine while walking three before giving way to Balfour, Joel Peralta and McGee. Tampa is 26-8 since the start of 2013 when Archer throws six innings or more and 4-15 when he doesnt. Archer came into the game with an 8.82 earned-run average in his last three outings. But apart from the slight wobble in the third, the right-hander mowed his way through the Jays and faced the minimum three batters in the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth The six-foot-three right-hander feasted on the bottom four of the Toronto lineup, recording nine strikeouts and a flyout while yielding only a Valencia broken bat single against Colby Rasmus, Valencia, Ryan Goins, Anthony Gose and pinch hitter Dan Johnson. The bottom of the order has previously been a problem at times for Archer. No. 7 through 9 hitters have accounted for four of the 10 home runs he has conceded this season and had hit .286 against him compared to the league average of .241. The Jays had won Mark Buehrles five previous starts against Tampa this year, with the left-hander yielding a total of eight earned runs. It looked like more of the same as Buehrle retired the first six batters he faced before giving up four runs on seven hits in the third and four inning. Buehrle lasted six innings, giving up four runs on nine hits with one strikeout. The game was the 20th straight that Jays starters had gone six or more innings, erasing a club record set in 1998. But it did not come with a win this time as the offence slumbered, dropping Torontos record to 12-8 over that stretch. Rodriguez doubled to lead off the third then scored on a sacrifice fly and groundout before Zobrist homered to left field. Archer loaded the bases with a pair of two-out walks in the bottom of the third but escaped with a Lind flyout. The Rays went up 4-0 in the fourth after Evan Longoria singled and Bautista lost a Myers fly ball in the sun, turning an out into a double. Longoria scored on a groundout before a Ryan Hanigan RBI single added to the run count. Bautista had turned heads in the first inning with a sliding catch of a Guyer short fly ball. And he looked to have made another great play, racing to a Forsythe foul ball. But a fan beat him to it with a fine catch of his own, drawing boos when the play was shown on the big screen. There was a happy ending for the Jays as Forsythe, on review, was called out due to fan interference

Glenn Hubbard Jersey .com) - The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with running back Jackie Battle on a one-year contract Friday. LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin has become the first player in the history of the Los Angeles Clippers franchise with three consecutive games of 30 or more points. And hes made it look easy, even without Chris Pauls help. Griffin scored 19 of his 36 points in the first quarter and Jamal Crawford added 21, leading the Clippers to a 118-105 victory over the Toronto Raptors in a matchup of division leaders Friday night. "I expected greatness, but Blakes done some things we didnt know he could do," coach Doc Rivers said. "Clearly, were taking advantage of him in the open court with the ball. And hell be even better when Chris comes back." DeAndre Jordan had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the defending Pacific Division champions, who are 12-6 since Paul separated his right shoulder on Jan. 3. "When it first happened, we didnt know how long it would be at that time," Crawford said. "Me and Blake understood what it meant, and that more was expected of us. But its been a total team effort, and thats a credit to the coaching staff. They always keep us prepared. You saw how things went for Doc in the past with Boston when he lost Rondo and had K.G. in and out of the lineup. But he never made excuses, and he wasnt going to allow himself to make excuses this time no matter who was out." Griffin, who had 36 points at Denver and 43 against Miami in the Clippers previous two games, capped his dominant opening quarter on a 20-footer with 2.4 seconds on the clock to give the Clippers a 29-22 lead. Crawford, who had 37 points in the previous meeting between the teams, burned the Raptors for 14 points in the second quarter while starting again for the injured J.J. Redick. "Their bigs created some problems. And when youve got a player like Jamal Crawford, it can definitely get tough," Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan said. "Thats why you cant give them any leeway. Youve got to fight with them to the end." Jordan attempted 22 free throws and converted a career-high 10, after entering the game averaging 43.4 per cent from the foul line. "I think they started fouling him when they were down 18. And when they stopped it, they were down 17," Rivers said. "Its like when they intentionally walk people in baseball -- and thats no fun tto watch.ddddddddddddI would say it changed the rhythm of the game, because we had a great pace and we never got back to that. But as far as the score, it really didnt change anything." The Clippers, coming off a 116-112 loss to the NBA champion Miami Heat on Wednesday, are 4-6 against the other five first-place clubs. They havent dropped back-to-back home games in the regular season since Nov. 3-5, 2012, against Golden State and Cleveland. DeRozan had 36 points and eight assists for the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors, who concluded their 2-3 road trip with their fourth straight loss to the Clippers at Staples Center. They lead the Brooklyn Nets by three games in the standings. Terrence Ross, who tied Vince Carters single-season franchise record with 51 points in the Raptors 126-118 loss to the Clippers on Jan. 25 at Toronto, picked up two fouls in the first quarter and finished with nine points in 28 minutes on 3-for-10 shooting. Amir Johnson hit Griffin in the head with his left arm as the four-time All-Star drove the lane on an attempted slam dunk with 9:50 left in the third quarter. The call was a flagrant 1 foul after referees James Capers, Mark Lindsay and Matt Boland viewed the replay at the scorers table, and Griffin converted both free throws for a 75-56 lead. Less than 3 minutes later, Jordan blocked a short jumper by Kyle Lowry, leading to a 3-pointer by Matt Barnes that widened the gap to 82-60, the Clippers biggest lead of the game. Griffin got his fifth foul and took a seat with 5:16 left in the third, but by then the Clippers had built an 84-66 cushion. Toronto ended the quarter with a 10-1 spurt, slicing its deficit to 92-83, but they got no closer. Willie Green helped seal the victory with a pair of 3-pointers 1:24 apart. The Clippers were 9 for 24 from behind the arc, improving to 22-0 when making at least nine. NOTES: Paul was cleared on Thursday to play in Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, with the 18-32 Lakers serving as the opening act against Chicago in the Staples Center doubleheader. ... DeRozan is the first USC player to be selected to play in an All-Star Game since Gus Williams in 1983, when the Lakers hosted the event at the Forum. ... Ross will be trying to defend his All-Star slam-dunk title on Feb. 15 at New Orleans.
