PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers used strong goaltending and opportunistic scoring to get just their second win in six games.Michael Raffl and Sean Couturier scored 34 seconds apart in the first period on Philadelphias initial two shots, and the Flyers beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Thursday night.Mark Streit, Wayne Simmonds and Brandon Manning also scored for the Flyers, who had 12 players register points.Our goaltending was good and we scored timely goals, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said.Blake Wheeler and Dustin Byfuglien had the goals for the Jets, who opened a season-high five-game, nine-day road trip with just their second loss in the last six.We missed out on a bunch of really good chances and left some offense on the table, but you have to give them some credit for that, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said. They deserved to win based on their compete level.Couturier got Philadelphia on the board 9:13 in when he capitalized on a Winnipeg turnover and beat Connor Hellebuyck high to the glove side from close range.Raffl doubled the lead just over a half-minute later with his third of the season after a stellar play by Matt Read. Read raced up the right wing and dived past Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey, poking the puck to a wide-open Raffl in the crease and Raffl finished with a shot over Hellebuycks blocker.Just an extra effort play, Hakstol said of the assist. Those are things you have to have. It was a great play. Does that give the bench a shot in the arm? Absolutely.Steve Mason made 30 saves to improve to 6-0-1 in his career against Winnipeg.Mason made some good saves at key times, Hakstol said.Hellebuyck stopped 17 shots.Mason was strong early in the third period when he came up with point-blank stops on Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers two minutes apart.Theyre big saves and we needed it, Mason said. That was a hard-working game, start to finish.The Philadelphia goalie rebounded from Tuesdays 3-2 shootout loss to Ottawa in which he let in the tying goal with 1:59 left in regulation and then refused to address the media afterward.Winnipeg outscored the Flyers 2-1 in the second period to pull to 3-2 entering the third.Byfuglien netted his first goal of the season, beating Mason from the short side just under seven minutes into the second. Philadelphia went back up 3-1 with 7:02 remaining on Streits one-timer from the point that ricocheted off Hellebuycks glove.Wheeler brought the Jets back within a goal by finishing a pretty tic-tac-toe passing display with Ehlers and Scheifele.Simmonds scored 5:46 into the third period to give Philadelphia a 4-2 lead. Andrew MacDonalds initial shot from the point deflected off Jets Marko Dano and to Simmonds right in front, and the Flyers winger spun around and shot past a surprised Hellebyuck.Rookie Patrick Laine didnt register a point after coming in leading all players with 12 goals and all rookies with 17 points.Manning scored into the empty net with 48.6 seconds to go.The Flyers won despite getting outshot 32-22.

But at the end of the day, its business, baseball. You go wherever is best for you and the team. The Giants want me and Im going to go there and do my best.Minnesota had lost three in a row and was coming off a disappointing two-game sweep at home to the Atlanta Braves in a matchup of two teams with the majors worst records.Kepler hit his 11th home run off reliever Odrisamer Despaigne (0-2) leading off the sixth inning to tie the game 2-all after Baltimore starter Ubaldo Jimenez lasted five innings in his first start since July 8.

He was recalled on June 1 and has 38 RBI in his past 49 games. Kepler has eight home runs in 22 July games.I like how hes making adjustments to how hes being pitched, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. People try to tie him up inside. He got a little cutter in there that was fairly in there pretty good, but he pulled his hands through and was able to hit the ball out of the park. Hes doing well overall.For his first go round here, were just looking for continued improvement.Minnesotas Ryan Pressly (5-5) combined with two other relievers to allow just two hits the final three innings.Keplers work negated an effective spot start by Jimenez, who allowed one run and five hits and struck out eight in his first appearance since a 1-1/3 inning start on July 8. Jimenez had been in a bit of limbo with the Orioles since being ousted from the starting rotation with a 7.38 ERA.Baltimore kept Jimenez off the mound in games, though. He nnever pitched out of the bullpen but did spend three days on the paternity leave list.ddddddddddddIts been a long time since I faced hitters; it felt great to be out there and be with my teammates, Jimenez said.Adam Jones homered on the first pitch of the game for the Orioles, who head to play the Blue Jays with a 1 1/2 game lead over Toronto in the AL East.We thought tonight was a big game, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Well think tomorrow, well think the day after that and the day after that and the day after that. .. Im just proud that people deem it important to beat us. We think every game is important.PLAYS AT THE PLATEMinnesota was able to keep the game close in the fourth by throwing two runners out at the plate. Chris Davis singled and Mark Trumbo doubled to open the inning.Davis was thrown out trying to score from third when Eduardo Escobar fielded a grounder from Jonathan Schoop and threw to catcher Juan Centeno. Pedro Alvarez followed with a single to right, but Kepler threw home to get Trumbo for his fifth assist in 58 games.ROSTER MOVETo replace Nunez on the active roster, the Twins recalled infielder Jorge Polanco from Triple-A Rochester.In three previous stints in Minnesota this season, Polanco hit .231 with three doubles, a home run and four RBI in 13 games. He was hitting .276 with nine home runs and 39 RBI in 75 games for Rochester.Interim general manager Rob Antony said Escobar will likely get the first chance to take Nunezs spot at shortstop.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 3B Trevor Plouffe (fractured left rib) took batting practice on Thursday.
