CHICAGO -- The Toronto Blue Jays got the ball up in the air and then they got out of town with a good feeling in the last game before the All-Star break. The Blue Jays, whod lost 8 of their previous 12, hit four homers Sunday to end the Chicago White Soxs five-game winning streak with an 11-9 victory. Colby Rasmus and Edwin Encarnacion had two-run homers in the first and Kelly Johnson and Jeff Mathis also connected on a windy day at U.S. Cellular Field when Chicago pitching yielded nine walks "We had a very good offensive day. High number of walks," manager John Farrell said as his team headed for four days off with a 43-43 record. "First inning we put together, both Colby, who continues to swing the bat well, Eddie with another big home run for us. We needed every run we could put on the board the way this turned out." The first-place White Sox got a three-run homer from Alex Rios and kept pecking away, but couldnt overcome the four-run first-inning deficit and go the All-Star break with a 47-38 record and a three-game lead in the AL Central. Chicago manager Robin Ventura was ejected in the top of the ninth after charging to the plate to heatedly argue a ball and strike call with home plate umpire D.J. Reyburn. "Yeah he had to let him know. Had to let him know," Rios said of Venturas ejection. Ventura had argued in the sixth when Jose Bautista hit a ball past third that was touched by a fan for a ground rule double. Umpires ruled that a running Rasmus, whod been on first, was allowed to score on the play. Ventura was not available to comment after the game because he had to catch a flight for the break -- something that was announced before the game. Jason Frasor (1-1), the third of five Blue Jays relievers, was credited with the win and Casey Janssen pitched the final 1 2-3 innings for his 12th save in 13 chances. He gave up two ninth-inning singles before striking out Alejandro De Aza to end it. "I was just telling the trainers, five outs seems like forever. I got used to getting three. It was all right," Janssen said. "Ive obviously done it before in my career, it was just a little different than the last month or so." Rasmus and Edwin Encarnacion had two-run homers following walks in the first off Dylan Axelrod and Kelly Johnson and Jeff Mathis also connected for Toronto on a windy day at U.S. Cellular Field. "Its nice when we can swing and outslug the opponents, but its tough to do that every day," said Torontos Rajai Davis, who had three stolen bases. " Were looking forward to getting it done on defence and having a better second half." Axelrod (0-2) was working on just three days rest. It would have been Chris Sales turn in the rotation, but the White Sox decided to skip their ace leftys last start before the break and he is expected to throw an inning in Tuesday nights All-Star game Axelrod gave up six hits, including three homers, and seven runs in his three innings before Mathis greeted reliever Brian Omogrosso with a solo homer in the fourth, making it 8-3. "You just got to get ground balls. I got behind in some counts and grooved some balls over the plate. And thats what good hitters do," Axelrod said. Adam Dunns RBI fielders choice grounder and an RBI double by Rios -- right after an error on Vizquel at third -- finished starter Brett Cecil after 4 1-3 innings and cut Torontos lead to 8-5. Alexei Ramirez then hit reliever Jesse Chavezs first pitch for a two-run triple, slicing the lead to 8-7. But Davis walked in the sixth, stole second and third and scored on Leyson Septimos wild pitch to put Toronto up by two. After another walk to Rasmus, Bautista hit a ball past third that was ruled fair and a fan reached out and touched it, making it a ground rule double. But umpires allowed Rasmus to score from first on the play, despite an argument from Ventura. After another walk, Adam Lind doubled home the Blue Jays 11th run. Cecil gave up six hits and seven runs, six of them earned. Reliever Luis Perez departed in the seventh after giving up hits to the first two batters and walked off the mound with a trainer. Farrell said Perez has tightness in his elbow, will go the disabled list and be evaluated further. Frasor came on and gave up a sacrifice fly and intentional walk before retiring the side with two strikeouts.

The Scottish midfielder scored in his second straight home game with a penalty kick in the 63rd minute Sunday to give Vancouver a 2-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. LOS ANGELES -- The crowd was dozens deep and hundreds wide, screaming and chanting and surrounding the Los Angeles Kings cars as they drove home after writing another improbable chapter in the big, mostly empty book that holds their franchise history. About 4,000 fans showed up at LAX early Wednesday morning to welcome the Western Conference champions back from Arizona. Even Game 5 hero Dustin Penner was awestruck. "It was like driving down a hallway lined with human flesh," said Penner, who scored the overtime goal that sent the Kings to the Stanley Cup final. "You couldnt see anything except people. ... Its not something that anyone will forget ever on this Kings team. Its something you can only experience when you get to the Cup finals." A remarkable story is unfolding in Los Angeles, and its happening at the ideal time. Few NHL teams have ever peaked in the post-season more perfectly than the eighth-seeded Kings, and now theyre four wins away from the franchises first title. After a regular season rocked by struggles, false starts and major changes, the eighth-seeded Kings have turned into the powerhouse they expected to be all season. Los Angeles needed only a league record-tying 14 playoff games to reach its first Stanley Cup final since 1993, outscoring their opponents 41-22 and culminating with a five-game win over the Coyotes. The Kings replaced coach Terry Murray with Darryl Sutter near midseason. They struggled to score all season, only fixing their offence around the 65th game. They didnt even clinch a playoff berth until the day of their 81st game, blowing the Pacific Division title in the final week of the season. But now the Kings have rampaged through the post-season in nearly unprecedented fashion. Not even the Kings will claim they saw it coming. "Everybody came into the season thinking we could be the good team, the kind we are now," Penner said. "Especially the older guys thought the pieces to the puzzle were there. We just couldnt find a way to put it together. ... Everything lined up, the stars lined, and it came together at the right point of the season. We knew once we were in (the playoffs) that it was anybodys game." Although captain Dustin Brown superstitiously didnt touch the Campbell Bowl during the trophy presentation in Glendale, the Kings have earned just the second conference title banner for their rather empty wall at Staples Center. Theyre hoping to add an even better trophy in the next few weeks -- even while the thought still boggles many of their long-suffering fans minds. Although his shaggy beard and tooth-deficient smile evvoke playoff hockey, Penner is an unlikely hero for the Kings after a horrific regular season featuring just 17 points and a minus-7 rating in 65 games.dddddddddddd The bruising power forward already has a Stanley Cup ring from Anaheim in 2007, but hadnt really played well since joining Los Angeles midway through last season. Ever since Sutter put him on a line with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, Penner has been the player he used to be, providing physical hitting and occasional scoring. Every member of that line contributed on the decisive goal, with Carter driving the net and Richards clearing out traffic through the slot before Penner calmed a bouncing puck and beat Phoenixs Mike Smith. "The goal was bigger than me," said Penner, who scored in overtime for the first time in 12 career playoff OT games. "It had more to do with the team than me. I just happened to be the guy with the puck on his stick at that particular moment." The Kings wont know their next opponent for at least a couple of days while the Rangers and Devils slug it out in the East, but a trip to the tri-state area is good news for Brown, who is from upstate New York, and All-Star goalie Jonathan Quick, whos from Connecticut. Including Browns no-touch acceptance of the Campbell Bowl, the Kings did little celebrating on the Phoenix ice, and not just because the Coyotes and their fans werent exactly the best sports. The crowd threw trash at the Kings after Penners winner, and Phoenix captain Shane Doan chirped at Brown in the handshake line about his unpenalized hit on Michal Rozsival moments before the game ended. "Its an emotional time for everybody," Sutter said. "A lot of times theres handshakes done behind closed doors. Things happen behind closed doors, and well leave it at that. Shane Doan is an awesome captain and an awesome player, and I wish he was still playing, just not at our expense." Leave it to the perpetually placid Quick to explain the Kings cool heads on such a momentous occasion. "Its a great accomplishment, but at the end of the day, theres still work to be done," said Quick, who allowed more than two goals in Game 5 for just the second time in the entire post-season. "That was a great team effort to get to where we are right now," Quick added. "I couldnt be happier for this group of guys. Everybody has worked so hard over the past eight months. At the same time, weve got four more games that we want to win, so were looking forward to see who were going to play next week, and were going to continue to work." ' ' '
