bad back, she retired from a second-round match at Wimbledon aft

TORONTO -- There could be a new leader in the American League East on Saturday.A Toronto victory over Baltimore in an afternoon game at Rogers Centre vaults the Blue Jays past the Orioles and into first place.While this is an important series, there are still two months to play in the season and possible trades to be made.The teams still have two more series to play -- in Baltimore from Aug. 29-31 and in Toronto from Sept. 27-29. The Boston Red Sox are also close in hot pursuit as well.Its an important series any time you play the guys youre chasing, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Weve always had good battles with these guys. Were down to the final two months.The game Friday was not a disappointment in that regard. The Blue Jays used three first-inning home runs Friday to defeat the Orioles 6-5. That moved Toronto within a half game of first-place Baltimore in the AL East.It was really a typical Baltimore-Toronto type game with two teams that really just slug it out, Gibbons said.The Orioles have a secret weapon, however. Their starter Saturday is Yovani Gallardo (3-2, 5.37 ERA), who has never lost to Toronto.The right-hander is 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA against the Blue Jays in four career starts. He also is 1-0 with a 3.60 in the playoffs after starting against them in the 2015 American League Division Series when he was with the Texas Rangers.He will be seeking his first win since since June 29. In the five starts since, he is 0-1 with 4.88 and the Orioles are 3-2. He allowed two runs, five hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings Monday against the Colorado Rockies but did not factor in the decision in a 3-2 Baltimore win. He struck out six.He has a difficult opponent in left-hander J.A. Happ (13-3, 3.27 ERA), who has already set a career best for victories in a season. He held the Seattle Mariners to one hit and four walks while striking out six in six innings of a 2-0 victory Sunday. He is 3-3 with a 3.76 ERA in 10 career games (nine starts) against the Orioles.Toronto leads the season series 6-5 and six of the games have been decided by one run.The Orioles have lost four in a row overall and 11 of their past 16 road games. They are 1-4 this season at Rogers Centre.After Kevin Gausman allowed six runs in three innings Friday, the Orioles had a solid four-inning relief outing from Vance Worley, who allowed only one walk and one hit.It gave Orioles manager Buck Showalter some encouragement.Worley did a great job, Showalter said. Our guys grinded against one of the better pitchers in the league (right-hander Marco Estrada) and got him out of there and gave us a chance. I was proud of the way the guys got back in it, tough environment. Nike Air Max 720 NZ . And when it opened, every player was at his stall.

When the US Open begins next week, familiar, proven names will headline the daily schedules. But theres a good chance an outsider is going to safely navigate the crucible of the draw and grab instant attention.And to add to the intrigue, there are a host of up-and-coming competitors ready to break out. Will one shine in the New York spotlight? Here are our top five 20-and-under players to watch:1. Alexander ZverevTheres no avoiding the promise of this 19-year-old from Hamburg, Germany, and thats not just because he is 6-foot-6 with a booming game. Zverev can play on all surfaces: He reached his first ATP final at a clay-court tournament in Nice and later defeated Roger Federer?en route to the final of a grass-court event in Halle. After making the third round of the past two majors -- he was stopped by Dominic Thiem at Roland Garros and Tomas Berdych at Wimbledon -- you suspect it wont be long before Zverev makes more of an impression at the Grand Slams. After all, heres someone described by Rafael Nadal as a clear possible future world No. 1, who is amazingly talented and has all the shots. Zverev has yet to win a main-draw match at the US Open.2. Daria KasatkinaWill the 19-year-old Russian make the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time? She has reached the third round of this seasons first three majors, as well as the last 32 at the 2015 US Open, so its surely only a matter of time before she goes deeper into the draw. Kasatskina couldnt have come any closer to cracking the final 16 at Wimbledon. Venus Williams needed all her guile and power to fend off Kasatskina in their third-round match, with the former champion eventually taking the decisive third set 10-8. Still, its not as if Kasatkina missed out on beating Williams for the first time, as she had already done so in Auckland at the start of the season.3. Taylor FritzNo one has ever accused the Californian -- the youngest man inside the top 100 -- of meandering his way through life. At the age of 18, when his friends are preparing to go to college, Fritz is alreaady married (he proposed during this years French Open and the wedding took place just after Wimbledon) and has established himself as a top-level player.dddddddddddd Already this season, Fritz played in his first ATP final following a run on the hard courts of Memphis, where he was stopped by Kei Nishikori. And theres something this ambitious young man will want to accomplish early on at the US Open: winning a match in the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time.4. Belinda BencicA quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows in 2014, Bencic is still only 19 years old. As she once mused when trying to explain why Switzerland keeps producing such classy players: There must be something in the chocolate. And yet, after a summer of injuries, its difficult to be sure how she might perform on the cement of New York. After missing the French Open because of a bad back, she retired from a second-round match at Wimbledon after hurting her wrist. She also lost so many training days while healing that she decided it would be best to give the Olympics a pass and instead focus all her efforts on New York.5. Yoshihito NishiokaAt 5-foot-7, the 20-year-old Japanese player is almost a foot shorter than Juan Martin del Potro. Hes also three inches smaller than countryman Nishikori, the 2014 US Open finalist, who at 5-10 himself is considered to be on the short side for a professional tennis player. Still, that lack of stature hasnt stopped Nishioka from breaking into the top 100 or reaching his first ATP semifinal in Atlanta. This summers hard-court swing has seen a new, more stable version of Nishioka. While he was once, in his own words, very emotional, throwing rackets and getting frustrated, he has been much calmer on the court over the past few weeks. This will mark the third consecutive summer he has played at the US Open, but this is the first time he has gained direct acceptance after qualifying in 2014 and 2015. ' ' '
