ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- James Shields carried a three-hitter into the ninth inning, B.J. Upton had a key two-run single and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1 on Saturday night. Shields (3-0) allowed one run and five hits over eight-plus innings while winning his third consecutive start after getting a no-decision on opening day against the New York Yankees. Uptons two-out hit off Carl Pavano (1-2) gave the Rays a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Another run scored on the play when centre fielder Denard Span was charged with a throwing error attempting to cut down Matt Joyce at third. Pavano gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings. Josh Willingham singled in the ninth to tie Kirby Pucketts team record, set in 1994, of starting a season with a 15-game hitting streak. Tampa Bay has won its last nine home games -- dating to July 21 -- when Shields was the starting pitcher. Shields is 7-0 over the stretch. Shields was pulled in the ninth after allowing Willinghams hit and a double by Justin Morneau. Ryan Doumit had a sacrifice fly off Fernando Rodney, who picked up his fifth save. Aided by two errors and a hit batter, Tampa Bay took a 4-0 lead in the seventh on Evan Longorias grounder. Longoria has seven RBIs over the past three games. The Twins were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position against Shields. The right-hander threw 29 pitches during the sixth, but got out of a bases-loaded jam when Doumit lined out to third for the final out of the inning. Pavano induced a double-play grounder from Upton with runners on first and third in the fourth, ending the threat. One inning later, Joe Mauer, playing first base, made a diving catch on Desmond Jennings one-out squeeze bunt and doubled Jose Molina off third. Mauer had two hits in four at-bats, and is 33 for 74 overall at Tropicana Field. NOTES: Morneau finished 1 for 3 with a walk after not playing Friday night because of a sore right foot. "Still got a little soreness in his foot, but he readys to get back out there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Morneau fouled a ball off the foot Thursday. ... Twins LHP Francisco Liriano (0-2) will go against RHP Jeff Niemann (0-2) in the series finale on Sunday. "If he has his fastball command, look out," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Liriano.

TORONTO -- Canadian Football League wide receiver Brad Smith is en**** a new playing field, one that could change his free agent status -- in the love department, that is. On Tuesday, Citytv announced Toronto-based Smith is the star of the inaugural season of "The Bachelor Canada" reality dating series, set to debut this fall. "I take this experience very seriously, and I truly believe in the process," Smith, 28, said in a news release Tuesday. "I cant wait to meet all the wonderful Canadian women who have put their lives on hold to experience all of this with me. I hope I can live up to their expectations, as I know theyll absolutely exceed mine." Raised in a close-knit family in Hudson, Que., Smith has played for the Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts and the Edmonton Eskimos. His father, Sen. Larry Smith, is a former CFL commissioner and former president and CEO of the Alouettes. Meanwhile, his sister, Ashley, is married to former CFL kicker Damon Duval. "My wife, Leesa and I, are very proud of Brad and well be like everyone else in Canada -- looking intently to see how this adventure unfolds during the fall," the senior Smith said in a brief telephone interview, noting hes very supportive of his sons new venture. "I dont give too much advice out at this stage because I only can remember my parents when I was in a similar situation many, many years ago. Youve just got to go with your own heart." Rogers Media described the free agent, whos taking time off from sports, as "driven, confident, candid and comfortable in his own skin." Inspired by his parents loving and committed marriage of nearly 40 years, hes looking for "the right woman who will complement both his fun-loving personality and active lifestyle." "He is attracted to women who are independent, intelligent, and just as confident in a ponytail, sweatpants and sweatshirt as they are all dressed up for a night out on the town," continued the news release. Photos on "The Bachelor Canadaa" website have the six-foot-one, blue-eyed brunette looking ruggedly handsome in a leather jacket and jeans, and spiffy in a grey suit.dddddddddddd. His bio says he lived in more than a dozen apartments in five years while playing football, a transient career that "made it virtually impossible for him to focus on love." In memory of two of his closest friends who died within 18 months of each other, he got a tattoo on his chest over his heart. Interviewed by "CityLine" host Tracy Moore Tuesday morning, Smith admitted hes a fan of "The Bachelor" franchise thats popular in the U.S. "People say, Well how can the situation be real? But when was the last time you ever took two months of your life off and just focused on dating?" he said. "So when people say that stuff is manufactured, I really dont believe it, because if your only focus is somebody else, its pretty easy to fall (in love)." Smith also said hes open to the idea of proposing to a woman at the end of the series, if hes in love. "I think if you didnt have the notion in your head that that would be a possibility, you would defeat the purpose of the show, and I wouldve never have gone through the auditioning and the processes had I not had that intent." The American "Bachelor" franchise has already featured several Canadians. They include Vancouver-based interior designer Jillian Harris; Ottawa-bred former football player Jesse Palmer; Oakville, Ont.-born actress Jessie Sulidis; and Toronto wrestler Justin Rego. Citytv says production on the nine-episode "Bachelor Canada" is now underway and that it will reveal the identities of the host and 25 bachelorettes at a later date. "Brad is the full package -- a quintessentially Canadian, down-to-earth man," said Claire Freeland, director of original programming at Rogers Media and executive producer of "The Bachelor Canada." "He is completely committed to this experience and in it for the right reasons." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
