TORONTO -- The Detroit Tigers had a bad start to their four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays as a depleted bullpen turned a 4-2 lead into a 5-4 loss on Thursday. Vic Beasley Womens Jersey .Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays can chirp happily about a six-game winning streak as they strive to go into the All-Star break on a high note.The Tigers bullpen was without right-hander Bruce Rondon, who was sent back to the hotel during batting practice Thursday with the flu.The Tigers can only hope for a quick recovery as they send out right-hander Mike Pelfrey (2-7, 4.78 ERA) against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (11-3, 3.54 ERA) on Friday in the second game of the series.Rondons absence meant that left-hander Justin Wilson stayed in for some of the tough Toronto right-handed bats in the eighth and he wound up with the loss after giving up three hits, one walk and two runs in 1 1/3 innings.Right-hander Alex Wilson came in and gave up the two-run single to Troy Tulowitzki that provided the winning margin.Hes been sick for a couple of days, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. He was sick on the plane last night, too....We were short. Thats why we were kind of stretching (Shane Greene) and Justin (Wilson) both, trying to get through. I think at the end, really, Justin was kind of out of gas, so we went to Alex (Wilson).He said he did not want to use closer Francisco Rodriguez for four outs.The Tigers also have problems with their rotation going into the break. Ausmus still would not say who would start the games Saturday and Sunday. Daniel Norris and Jordan Zimmermann are on the disabled list.The Blue Jays meanwhile have their rotation set going into the break even though all-star Marco Estrada was put on the disabled list Wednesday and missed his start Thursday, which they overcame with a decent spot start by Drew Hutchison.The Blue Jays have been winning games in a variety of ways. Thats how winning streaks start, thats how they continue, is its a different guy every night Tulowitzki said. Get good pitching, play good defense, mixed in with some timely hitting. I think its the recipe youll hear teams talk about when theyre on a winning streak.The Tigers are still 5-3 on the road trip that takes them into the break. The swept four games from the Rays at Tampa Bay and lost two of three to the Indians in Cleveland before coming to Toronto.The Blue Jays would seem to have the advantage in the starting rotation for the final three games.Happ is having an excellent season. In his past five starts, he is 5-0 with a 3.48 ERA. In six career games, including five starts, against the Detroit Tigers, he is 1-1 with a 4.83 ERA. He will be followed in the rotation by Aaron Sanchez and R.A. Dickey.Pelfrey is a ground-ball pitcher and has induced 18 double-play grounders, second in the American League. He tied for the major league lead in 2015 with 29 double-play grounders. The Blue Jays entered Thursday having grounded into 80 double plays, tied for the most in the AL. They did not hit into any on Thursday.Pelfrey is 1-1 with a 4.96 ERA in three career starts against the Blue Jays. In his most recent start against Toronto, April 17, 2014, His only start at Rogers Centre was July 6, 2013, when he pitched six shutout innings to earn the win. Matt Ryan Falcons Jersey .

No. 2 Clemson | Top 25No. 1: AlabamaLast Season: 14-1 (7-1 SEC West)Just Bama being BamaOh, the drama in Tuscaloosa! Whos going to be Alabamas quarterback?! Yawn. The Tide won three of their past four national championships-including last years-despite QB questions in August. But they lost defensive coordinator Kirby Smart! Whatev. The Nick Saban coaching tree is perennially pruned, from Jimbo Fisher to Will Muschamp to Jim McElwain. The protégés who have gone elsewhere have had varying degrees of success; their old boss hasnt suffered. But Derrick Henry is gone! And have you seen the schedule?! Shrug and shrug. Have you seen Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris? OK, you probably havent, but you will. And yeah, the Tide open with a biggie (USC in Arlington, Texas) and have to travel to Oxford, Fayetteville, Knoxville and Baton Rouge-but its the SEC West, yall. They see this kind of schedule every year. And as the story goes, Bama rolls over its schedule way more than its schedule rolls over Bama. -- Ryan McGeeDont expect a championship hangover in Tuscaloosa. With DE Jonathan Allen (12 sacks), LB Reuben Foster (73 tackles) and SS Eddie Jackson (6 INTs) all returning for their senior seasons before potentially entering the NFL draft, the Tide roll out my top-ranked defense once again. Offensively, they replace QB Jake Coker with first-year starter Cooper Bateman (71.2 completion percentage on 57 attempts), but hell have a great supporting cast: Alabama has my No. 4 offensive line, No. 1 wide receivers (led by 1,000-yard wideout Calvin Ridley) and, despite the loss of Henry, my No. 12 group of running backs.IN IF... The offense doesnt leave it all on the shoulders of the new QB, no matter who gets the nod. Losing Henry (SEC-record 2,219 yards in his Heisman-winning season last year) is big, but replacing center Ryan Kelly, a first-round pick,, might prove bigger. Brian Poole Jersey. .OUT IF... It cant win at least two of its three big road games-Ole Miss, Tennessee and LSU. And in the ultracompetitive SEC West, even one loss to the wrong team could keep the Tide from winning the division.Alabamas chances to win each game 09.03 vs. USC (Arlington, Texas): 64.3% 09.10 vs. Western Kentucky:?94.1% 09.17 @ Ole Miss:?51.2% 09.24 vs. Kent State:?98.8% 10.01 vs. Kentucky:?93.8% 10.08 @ Arkansas:?71.2% 10.15 @ Tennessee:?41.1% 10.22 vs. Texas A&M:?72.5% 11.05 @ LSU: 34.3% 11.12 vs. Mississippi State: 84.7% 11.19 vs. Chattanooga: 99.0% 11.26 vs. Auburn: 77.7%The defending national champs might have some star power to replace on defense, but the reloading Crimson Tide are still the cream of the SEC, and theyll claim their third straight SEC Western title with an 11-1 season.?-- Edward AschoffAs long as Nick Saban is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is the favorite to win the SEC. The Crimson Tide is loaded on defense and even if questions exist at running back and quarterback, this is the arguably the nations most talented team -- one that will go 11-1.?-- David ChingStill the standard-bearer, but with a whole new backfield. But, in Lane Kiffin I trust. The Crimson Tide will still be pretty damn good at 11-1.?-- Sam Khan Jr.With road trips to Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU, Alabama probably wont run the table this year. But 11-1 will still put them in the drivers seat for the playoff.?-- Greg OstendorfHere we go again. Alabama will make sense of the QB situation, another star will emerge at running back (hello, Bo Scarbrough) and the defense will be the best in the SEC. One loss (11-1) wont stop the Tide from winning the West.?-- Alex ScarboroughNo. 2 Clemson | Top 25 Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
