KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Drew Hutchison had a lot of help from his offence to win his major league debut. Colby Rasmus hit two home runs to back Hutchison and the Toronto Blue Jays handed the Kansas City Royals their ninth straight loss, 9-5 Saturday night. Edwin Encarnacion also homered and drove in three runs for the Blue Jays, who stroked a season high 14 hits. "The offence did a great job and made it a little easier on me," Hutchison said. "I wouldnt say easy, but anytime they are putting up that type of run support it gives you a chance to go out there and really compete." Hutchison (1-0), who had never pitched above Double-A before Saturday, left after 99 pitches and 5 1-3 innings, allowing five runs and eight hits, including two homers. Hutchison became the eighth youngest starting pitcher in Blue Jays history at 21 years, 243 days. "It was good to get it out the way and it was a lot of fun," Hutchison said. "I kind of took a look around. I really wasnt that nervous. There was a little bit of a different feeling, but I enjoyed it." He became the first Blue Jays pitcher to win his debut since Ricky Romero on April 9, 2009. The Royals losing skid is their longest since losing 10 in a row July 10-24, 2009. They have lost a club record nine consecutive home games, dating to last season. Rasmus hit a two-run homer off Everett Teaford (0-1) in the sixth to put the Blue Jays ahead to stay, 6-5. He and Encarnacion homered off rookie reliever Kelvin Herrera in the three-run seventh. It was Rasmus third career multihomer game. "I thought Drew threw the ball as we anticipated," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "He had the one four-run inning where he worked behind in the count. He got a key ground ball double play in the one inning to slow down another potential threat. I thought he kept his poise. He threw strikes with his fastball particularly. All and all I think an impressive first-time out." Left-hander Darren Oliver, who at 41 is nearly twice the age of Hutchison, entered in the sixth after Alcides Escobars single advanced Mike Moustakas to third. Oliver struck out Mitch Maier and retired Yuniesky Betancourt on a fly to preserve the lead. Escobar had four hits, matching his career high. "Thats just a great job by him to come in there and really defuse that situation," Hutchison said. By somebody old enough to be his father. "I guess, but I wont say that too loud," Hutchison said. "His locker is right down there." Royals manager Ned Yost said Hutchison "did a good job." "He commanded the ball, worked both sides of the plate and kept it down," Yost said. "We had opportunities to score, and did score. You want your bullpen to hold them and we just couldnt do that." Royals starter Luis Mendoza faced 19 batters and 11 reached base — 10 hits and a walk — before being pulled with one out in the fourth. The Blue Jays batted around in a four-run fourth that Adam Lind started with a double. Five consecutive one-out singles by Encarnacion, Brett Lawrie, Rasmus, J.P. Arencibia and Yunel Escobar knocked Mendoza out of the game, giving the Blue Jays a 4-1 advantage. In three starts, Mendoza has allowed 24 hits, walked nine and struck out four in 13 innings. Teaford, who had not pitched since April 13, replaced Mendoza and walked Kelly Johnson to load the bases before getting Jose Bautista to line out into an inning-ending double play. Alex Gordon homered in the first for the Royals. Eric Hosmer, who hit into a triple play Friday, hit a two-run homer off Hutchison in the four-run fifth to give the Royals a short-lived 5-4 lead. Maier had an RBI triple and scored on Betancourts single before Hosmers homer. NOTES: Betancourt started a game as the leadoff hitter for the first time in his big league career, spanning 972 games. Manager Ned Yost moved DH Billy Butler from cleanup, where he had batted the first 13 games, to the third slot. "We tried to make some minor adjustments, shake things up a little bit," Yost said. "Its a different look to see if we cant get some offence going. Every once in a while its good to make an adjustment especially when youre struggling a little bit offensively." . Blue Jays LHP Luis Perez has not allowed a run in 10 innings this season and left-handed hitters are 0 for 17 off him. "He has a lot of confidence to bring everything," Farrell said. "Hes using his secondary pitches as well as his fastball." cheap nfl jerseys china . The amazing Federer will appear in his 35th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal on Wednesday.

Numbers Game breaks down the Wild signings of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. The Wild Get: LW Zach Parise and D Ryan Suter. DETROIT -- The Tigers All-Star trio led took care of the Twins. Justin Verlander pitched a four-hitter, Miguel Cabrera homered twice and Prince Fielder hit a two-run double as the Tigers ended Minnesotas five-game winning streak with a 5-1 victory Wednesday night. Verlander (9-5) made his case for starting in the All-Star game, pitching his fifth complete game. "I watch what is going on with our team, and I knew our bullpen was beat up," he said. "I knew I needed to give us at least seven or eight innings." He struck out seven on the seventh anniversary of his major-league debut, and took another step toward earning the starting spot in the All-Star game. "It would be fantastic, but I know there are some other guys out there having exceptional years," he said. "Id like to have that on my resume, but you arent owed anything in this game. Im not the only guy having a good season." Normally, a game starting at 9:31 p.m. due to rain would be a concern for a starting pitcher, but Verlander was thrilled. The temperature at the scheduled starting time was 101 degrees, but it fell to 78 after a severe thunderstorm rolled through. "I cant imagine what it would have been like pitching tonight when it was 100 degrees," he said. "It was only in the 70s and I was sweating like crazy with the humidity." Cabrera was the nights other star. He went 3-for-3 with 10 total bases, drove in three runs, scored three times and was intentionally walked in his other plate appearance. "We talk about the two guys that you dont let beat you, but Fielder drove in two runs and Cabrera drove in three," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I think Cabrera saw two fastballs all day, and one went over the centre-field fence and the othher went over the right-field fence.dddddddddddd Thats not smart pitching." Twins starter Brian Duensing (1-5) pitched well into the fifth, but left the game after being hit on the left ankle by Alex Avilas sharp grounder. Duensing sustained a bruised left ankle, but X-rays were negative. "Its a shame, because he was throwing the ball really well," Gardenhire said. "Luckily, nothing is broken, so well just take it day by day. Luckily, hes got some extra rest because of the break, and hes probably going to need it." The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first when Prince Fielders one-out double scored Ryan Raburn and Cabrera. Detroit, though, wasted scoring chances in the third and fifth innings by hitting into inning-ending double plays. Meanwhile, the Twins didnt get a baserunner until Denard Spans single to lead off the fourth. Chris Parmalee got Minnesota on the board with a homer off Verlander in the fifth, but Cabrera answered with a 429-foot shot into the shrubs above the centre-field fence. "Its hard to get one out to centre field here, because it is so big," he said. "When you see one go into those bushes, you are like Thank God." Cabrera added a two-run homer in the seventh off Cole De Vries, who was pressed into service as a reliever even though he was scheduled to start on Saturday in Texas. Gardenhire said after the game that he will now start Sunday. NOTES: Span is now hitting .395 (15-38) in his career against Verlander. ... Through three games of the series, Verlander is the only starting pitcher to get through the fifth inning. ... Austin Jackson went 3-for-3 with a walk, raising his batting average to .329. "I wish he was going to Kansas City with us," Verlander said. ' ' '
