TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays won ugly Tuesday night, overcoming sloppy play and a blown six-run lead in a 7-6 walkoff victory over the New York Yankees. Jose Reyes made two throwing errors -- including a key miscue in New Yorks five-run seventh inning -- but made up for it by scoring the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. New York made the final mistake as Yangervis Solarte threw wide to first base after Melky Cabrera laid a bunt down the third-base line. That allowed Reyes, who led off with a double, to trot home with the winning run to the delight of the 34,206 fans at Rogers Centre. "It wasnt a real well-played game, but the name of the game is winning," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. Dioner Navarro hit a three-run shot for Toronto (44-35), which moved 2 1/2 games up on second-place Baltimore in the American League East. The Orioles dropped a 4-2 decision to the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees fourth loss in a row moved them 3 1/2 games behind Toronto. Reliever Adam Warren (1-4) shouldered the loss for New York (39-37). "It was sloppy on both sides," said Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira. "That was an ugly game to watch. If youre a fan, you should get your money back." The Blue Jays will go for a sweep of the three-game series Wednesday night. Navarro put the Blue Jays on the board in the fourth inning with his blast off New York starter David Phelps. Toronto tacked on three more runs in the fifth inning when Colby Rasmus laced a shot that hit the top of the wall in right field. Two runs came across on the play and Edwin Encarnacion rounded third when Rasmus broke for second base. The cutoff man threw to Derek Jeter at second, who had Rasmus caught in a rundown. With Encarnacion leaning for home, Jeter decided to hang on to the ball and go for the tag on Rasmus. However, he couldnt catch up to the Toronto centre-fielder, who dived back to the bag at first base as Encarnacion scored. Jeter rebounded with a solo homer in the sixth inning and the Yankees took advantage of two Toronto errors in the seventh to tie the game. Brian Roberts got things started by hitting a two-run homer off Toronto starter Mark Buehrle to cut the Blue Jays lead to 6-3. With Brett Gardner at second base and Jeter at first, Jacoby Ellsbury drove a single to left field off Dustin McGowan. Cabrera tried to get Gardner at the plate but the throw went to the backstop allowing the run to score on the error as both runners advanced. McGowan got Teixeira to hit a chopper to second base but Reyes was short with his throw to Encarnacion at first and two more runs crossed the plate. It gave Reyes even more incentive when he came up to bat in the ninth. "I tried to make something happen after that mistake,"Reyes said. "They tied the game there in that situation. I have to make a better throw than that. It is what it is. Like I said, when I came up in the ninth inning I just tried to make something happen. "I put a good swing on the ball and hit a double with nobody out." Reyes also gave credit to Cabrera for making a great play that forced the errant throw. "He laid down a perfect bunt," he said. "In that situation we need that." It was the 13th multi-hit game of the season for Reyes, who ended an 0-for-19 skid with a single in the fifth inning. "Joses a driven individual," Gibbons said. "Plus hes overdue, his bat has cooled off. So it was just a matter of time. He dunked that one in earlier in the game, but hes been missing his pitches. "Hes been a little too aggressive. But perfect timing for it, you know." Encarnacion was accidentally elbowed in the back of the head by Teixeira in the seventh inning. The Toronto slugger was face down on the dirt for several seconds as a hush came over the crowd. Gibbons and a team trainer came out onto the field to check on him and Encarnacion eventually shook it off and stayed in the game. He had a fat lip afterwards but said there were no other issues. "Right now I feel good, I feel great -- 100 per cent," he said. Aaron Loup relieved McGowan in the seventh and got Carlos Beltran to hit a comebacker for the third out. The Blue Jays loaded the bases in the eighth inning but reliever Dellin Betances struck out Munenori Kawasaki to end the threat. Casey Janssen (2-0) came on in the ninth inning and gave up a single to Gardner, who eventually moved to third base with two out. With the crowd on its feet, Janssen fanned Teixiera with a 72 mile-per-hour curveball. "Thats big to win that game," Gibbons said. "We dont win that one last year, I know that." Notes: Lind fouled a ball off his sore right foot in the seventh inning but stayed in the game. He was wearing a protective cover over his cleats but was noticeably slow while running to first on a ground ball. ... Injured Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow, who had been rehabilitating his hand injury in Arizona, returned to the team Tuesday. He tore a tendon sheath in his throwing hand on May 2. Morrow played catch for 10 minutes before the game but no timeline is set for his return. ... Toronto third baseman Juan Francisco turned 27 on Tuesday. ... The Blue Jays have held sole possession of first place in the A.L. East for 33 straight days. The teams previous longest stretch came in 1993, the last year Toronto won the World Series. ... Buehrle received a standing ovation as he walked to the dugout after being pulled in the seventh inning. He worked 6 2/3 innings and allowed eight hits and four earned runs while striking out three. It was his 445th consecutive start without a stint on the disabled list -- the longest active streak in the major leagues. ... Buehrle also leads all major-league pitchers in pace, taking an average of 17.0 seconds between pitches. ... Phelps worked five innings, allowing eight hits, six earned runs and a walk while striking out seven. ... Drew Hutchison (5-5, 3.86) is scheduled to start Wednesdays series finale against New Yorks Hiroki Kuroda (4-5, 4.23).

Off-season additions Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley did not train with the club today, prompting Nelsen to declare its too early to tell if either will be ready for Saturday.

Jesus Vallejo Real Madrid Jersey . Only it wasnt the extended right pad of his old teammate Jonathan Bernier early in the final frame, it was James Reimer, who stole a night that was supposed to belong to the former King.PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Evgeni Malkin isnt skating a like a guy who wants to his ease way back from injury.The Pittsburgh Penguins star says its 50/50 hell play in Thursday nights season opener against Anaheim but the odds appear to be getting more favourable by the minute. Malkin practised with his teammates for the first time on Tuesday after missing almost all of training camp with an undisclosed issue.Whatever the problem is, its fading. The 2012 MVP looked like his typically powerful self while getting his first hands-on look at new coach Mike Johnstons system.It feels great, Malkin said. I need to get in better shape, but Im glad to be back.Malkin made it through the entire hour-long session working through a series of high intensity drills, including skating alongside Sidney Crosby as they worked two-on-two against a pair of defencemen. While hes not quite 100 per cent, Malkin impressed Johnston with his conditioning.He stayed the whole practice, that was really encouraging, Johnston said. I thought he looked pretty good for a guy who hasnt been on the ice for a month.Johnston cautioned he wants to see how Malkin responds on Wednesday before getting too optimistic about whether No. 71 will be available when the Penguins begin the long six-month slog through the regular season. Theres no need to rush him back out there, though the sooner Malkin returns, the sooner Johnston can begin the process of figuring out how to best use one of the leagues most dynamic players.Malkin lost longtime running mate James Neal when the Penguins traded the productive, if volatile, forward to Nashville in a trade on the opening night of the NHL Draft in June. Malkin, who had 23 ggoals and 49 assists while being limited to 60 regular games last year, called the decision to ship Neal a surprise but said he didnt spend too much time worrying about it.ddddddddddddIts hockey, Malkin said. The last four years is not good enough. We just change a little bit.Or perhaps a lot. Neals departure was part of a sizable off-season overhaul by one of the NHLs marquee franchises after the Penguins failed to reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the fifth straight season. Johnston replaced Dan Bylsma on the bench and is in the process of implementing a new system that places more emphasis on puck possession and support than the slightly more wide-open style favoured by Bylsma.Malkin has spent the early portions of the transition in the video room but is impressed by Johnston, who travelled to Russia over the summer shortly after getting hired.We talk a little bit, Malkin said. Good time with him. ... Im glad to see him, meet him and just move forward.That move could include the Penguins getting creative with how they use Malkin, at least early in the season. Johnston said the team will experiment with moving Malkin, a centre, to right wing and pairing him with Brandon Sutter and Pascal Dupuis. Johnston stressed the idea isnt something the Penguins are considering on a permanent basis but something hes considering while forward Beau Bennett recovers from a leg injury.I like the way Sutter is playing and it takes away some defensive responsibilities (for Malkin), Johnston said. Geno has played the wing. Hes a great centre. We can use him at centre, we know that. But to get him playing with the best people right now, were taking a look at wing.
