TORONTO -- A rare chance to pitch with a lead gave R.A. Dickey the opportunity to be more than just a knuckleballer.Russell Martin had three hits and two RBI, Dickey pitched 6 2/3 innings for his first home win since July 10 and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 on Tuesday night.Toronto remained tied with Boston for first place in the AL East. The Red Sox beat Tampa Bay 2-1.Dickey had received eight total runs of support in his previous five starts, losing three. His teammates gave him six runs to work with Tuesday, which he appreciated.Always great pitching with the lead, Dickey said. You can take some little risks that you might not normally take. Threw a lot of good changeups tonight, good sinkers down in the zone. I actually had good conventional stuff tonight and that helped me through some innings when I didnt have a great knuckleball.Dickey (9-13) came in 2-8 with a 5.57 ERA in 13 home starts but held the last-place Angels in check, allowing two runs and six hits.Manager John Gibbons said Dickey was fantastic after giving up a two-run homer to Angels rookie Nick Buss in the second.Then he kind of put it in cruise control, Gibbons said.Martin had an RBI single in the first, drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the third, singled and scored in the fifth, and doubled over the head of center fielder Mike Trout in the seventh. Martin is 12 for 27 with nine RBI in his past five games.Hes smoking hot right now, Gibbons said.Michael Saunders hit his 21st home run, a solo shot off A.J. Achter in the eighth, and Edwin Encarnacion and Darwin Barney each reached base three times as the Blue Jays won their fifth straight over the Angels. Toronto has outscored Los Angeles 51-16 in that span.Down the stretch every game is important, Barney said. I dont think were taking anyone lightly.Buss hit his first major league home run, but Los Angeles lost for the fourth time in six games. The Angels have lost 15 of 18 overall.He looks very comfortable at the plate, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Buss. Hes certainly not overmatched. Hes hitting the ball hard. He looks like he belongs here.The Angels lost their 11th straight road game, their longest such skid since a 14-game streak in 1969.Trailing 2-1, Toronto loaded the bases with no outs against left-hander Tyler Skaggs in the third. Barney scored the tying run when Martin walked and Encarnacion put the Blue Jays in front by scoring on Troy Tulowitzkis double play groundout.Skaggs (1-3) allowed four runs and four hits in four-plus innings and is winless in five starts. His five walks were a season-worst.Unfortunately, kind of the same stuff weve seen the last couple of starts, Scioscia said. Whether its a release point issue, whether its a mechanical adjustment or whatever it is, hes a hair off right now and hes not able to make the pitches he needs to.JOEY BATS ALMOST BACKBlue Jays OF Jose Bautista (left knee) is expected be activated off the 15-day DL as soon as he is eligible on Thursday. Gibbons said Bautista will be used at DH often to protect his knee.CRIME DOESNT PAYJosh Donaldson was caught stealing in the fifth, snapping a streak of 23 consecutive successful attempts. He hadnt been caught stealing since June 3, 2013, with Oakland.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: 2B Devon Travis was not available after getting a cortisone injection in his sore right ring finger. Barney started in his place. ... OF Kevin Pillar (sprained left thumb) was activated off the 15-day DL and started in center field. RHP Ryan Tepera was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo to clear a spot for Pillar.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Matt Shoemaker (7-13, 4.14) is 1-1 with an 8.38 ERA in two career games against Toronto.Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada (7-5, 3.20) allowed a season-high five earned runs against the Yankees on Aug. 16. It was the third time in 21 starts this season Estrada has allowed more than three earned runs.Brian Dawkins Youth Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Clayton Thorson Youth Jersey . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. http://www.theeaglesfootballauthentic.com/eagles-harold-carmichael-black-jersey/ . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win. "We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. Wes Hopkins Womens Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Shareef Miller Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games.MEXICO CITY -- Lewis Hamilton won the Mexican Grand Prix with the help of a wide turn through the grass and dirt at the first corner.It was a crucial victory for the defending champion if he is to catch Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in this seasons title chase with just two races left.But several drivers questioned why Hamilton wasnt penalized for going off track and returning with a huge lead. The move came when Hamilton locked his right front brake coming out of the long straight off the start.Very surprised by that. Massive advantage, said Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg, who started fifth and had a good view of Hamiltons drive into the first turn. I think he was going well off the track. He was far, far from making turn one and two ... That its not even being looked at is amazing to me.Hamilton started on pole position and the maneuver helped him stay ahead of Rosberg. It was critical for both the race and the chase for the season championship.Race officials chose not to review Hamiltons move, but did look at a bump between Rosberg and Red Bulls Max Veerstappen at the same turn that briefly sent Rosberg into the grass as well.dddddddddddd No penalty was assessed in that case.Verstappen was later penalized 5 seconds for running wide into the grass at the same corner as Hamiltons drive-off. Verstappens wild ride came in a late-race duel for the third with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel, and the penalty cost him a podium finish.Lewis gained a massive advantage (at the start), Verstappen told Sky Sports. I didnt gain an advantage. When I came back on track I was the same length in front so I think its ridiculous.Hamilton insisted they were different racing situations.I think I was still in the lead going in. I was still in the lead going out, Hamilton said.Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third, wasnt so sure.How you can be leading, lock the brakes, go off and come out in front? Ricciardo said. I think he deserved the penalty. I think anyone who does that deserves a penalty. ' ' '
