TORONTO -- Steve Tolleson is the only Toronto Blue Jay who will want to remember
Wednesdays game.

. With his team trailing the Cleveland Indians by 13 runs in the ninth inning,
the Blue Jays utility infielder came off the bench to make his big league
pitching debut and secure the final out. "I wish the circumstances hadnt even
been that way to get that chance but I guess any time you have a chance to go
out and try to get an out in a major-league game thats a pretty special
opportunity for anyone," said the 30-year-old Tolleson after the Indians pounded
the Blue Jays 15-4 at Rogers Centre. "I didnt take it for granted," said
Tolleson, who joked that he tried to stay "below the hitting speed" against the
two hitters he faced. He yielded a double to Lonnie Chisenhall and got
Mike Aviles to pop up. Tolleson, who said he pitched a couple of times late in
blowout games in the minors in 2011 and 2012, said manager John Gibbons came up
to him before the Cleveland ninth to see if he was willing to go in to pitch if
needed. He relieved Neil Wagner, recalled earlier in the day from triple-A
Buffalo, who had given up six runs on six hits in 1 1/3 innings. "He was
battling out there and if I could save him a few pitches to help him get ready
for his next appearance then thats what the team needed today," Tolleson said.
Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes flipped the ball into the stands after the Aviles
pop up but Tolleson said it was retrieved for him to keep as a souvenir.
David Murphy was 5 for 6 with five runs batted in and Chisenhall was 5 for 6
with an RBI as Cleveland (19-21) had 22 hits off for five different Toronto
pitchers before 14,068 fans. The Indians led 4-2 after six innings before
pounding the Toronto bullpen to turn it into a laugher. "We were in that game
going into the seventh inning," Gibbons said. "Then, of course, it exploded on
us. Get that one out of our system and come back tomorrow." Toronto (20-21)
closes out a nine-game home stand against the Indians on Thursday night.
Dustin McGowans struggles at home continued. The Toronto right-handed starter
was touched for four runs in four-plus innings, including a two-run home run by
Carlos Santana. McGowan (2-2), making his eighth start of the season, gave up a
run in each of the second and fourth innings before being chased by three
straight hits including Santanas two-run blast in the fifth. McGowan is now 0-2
with 16 earned runs in 15 2/3 innings and 9.10 earned-run-average over four
starts at the Rogers Centre this season. On the road, hes 2-0 with six earned
runs in 23 1/3 innings and a sparkling 2.31 ERA in four starts. "It was just one
of those nights where they were waffling the ball," McGowan said. "Sometimes you
have to tip your hat to them. "All my pitches were fine tonight. I just got hit
hard." Former Blue Jay Yan Gomes had a three-run homer in the ninth off Wagner
to cap the onslaught. Meanwhile, Cleveland starter Corey Kluber (4-3) had a
solid outing. The right-hander retired the first 13 Blue Jays he faced and
finished the night yielding two runs, four hits and a walk while striking out
nine over seven innings. Adam Lind had two of the Blue Jays eight hits while
Jose Bautista, Brett Lawrie, Juan Francisco and Josh Thole each drove in a run.
After Thursdays game, the Blue Jays go out on the road for three weekend games
in Texas before heading to Fenway Park for a three-game series against the
Boston Red Sox beginning on Tuesday.

by a rookie forward and a journeyman goaltender, the Calgary Flames continued
their strong start to the season. Sean Monahan had a goal and an assist and
Joey MacDonald made 33 saves to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win over the
Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. "Obviously its a great start," said Monahan,
who has scored in three straight games and is tied at five points for the team
scoring lead with Jiri Hudler. "We havent lost a game in regulation. Losings
something I dont like to do, so its been a lot of fun. Im getting more
comfortable every day." Calgary coach Bob Hartley praised the effort of his
rookie centre, who turns 19 on Saturday. "I sometimes pinch myself and wonder if
I need to check his birth certificate, the poise he is showing for an
18-year-old kid," Hartley said. "He is having fun, he is bringing passion, he is
bringing excitement and hes learning. He is a pretty special kid."
Sven Baertschi and Curtis Glencross also scored for Calgary (2-0-2). The last
time the Flames recorded points in the first four games of a season was back in
2009-10 when they went 4-0-0 before going 0-2-1 in their next three games.
MacDonald started his third straight game after backstopping Calgary to a 4-3
road win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday, before helping the Flames
salvage a point in a 5-4 overtime loss at home to the Vancouver Canucks on
Sunday. "Tonight we stuck with it," said MacDonald, who previously played for
the Boston Bruins, New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings
before the Flames claimed him off of waivers part way through last season. "Its
a learning experience for the young guys to show them how important it is. They
came out hard." P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens (1-2-0),
who hadnt played since skating to a 4-1 win at home over the Philadelphia Flyers
on Saturday. "We werent ready to play right from the start, including myself,"
Subban said. "We can continue to say its the beginning of the season and were
just getting things going, but weve got to come out better than that. "We knew
this was a hungry team, we knew they were a young team. They had some young
players in the lineup and weve got to take advantage of that. I dont think we
did a good enough job." Lars Eller, with his fourth goal and sixth point, also
scored for Montreal, while Carey Price made 22 saves. Both Calgary and Montreal
finished 1 for 3 on the power play. Despite being outshot 12-4 in the opening
frame, the Flames took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.

opened the scoring at 9:09 of the first period when he tapped a rebound into the
net behind Price. Monahan started the play with a behind-the-back pass to
Lee Stempniak, who fired a shot on goal that Price stopped with his right pad.
The puck bounced right to Monahan, who drove straight to the net after making
the pass. "Thats always a good feeling," Monahan said. "Theres nowhere else to
put it than in the back of the net. I jumped all over that and I was pretty
excited." Baertschi then scored his first of the season with 1:27 remaining in
the first when he tapped a cross-crease pass from Monahan behind a sprawling
Price. Hudler helped set up the play by jarring the puck loose from Montreal
defenceman Jarred Tinordi by virtue of a big hit behind the net. During a
Montreal man advantage in the second period, MacDonald stopped a Subban point
blast before stacking his pads to prevent back-to-back shots off the stick of
Andrei Markov from getting into the net behind him. "Its just battling,"
MacDonald said. "You never give up on the puck. It might not be the nicest
style, but youve got to stop the puck. When your team sees those saves, it kind
of gives them a little momentum. I think we kind of built off that." Then on a
Calgary power play, Glencross tipped a point shot by Dennis Wideman past Price
at 16:22 of the second. Just 84 seconds later with the Calgary captain
Mark Giordano in the penalty box for tripping, Subban fired a point shot into
the top corner to end MacDonalds shut-out bid. At 10:40 of the third, Eller
pulled Montreal within a goal. Subban let go a shot from the point that went
wide, but bounced off the boards and right onto the stick of Eller, who swatted
the puck into a wide-open net. The Canadiens pressed hard to tie up the game
until Subban took a cross-checking penalty with 1:49 remaining in regulation.
"We worked so hard in the third and in the second to bring ourselves into
striking distance of tying the game up," Subban said. "Right when we were about
to turn the corner, you take that penalty so it really sucks." Notes: Montreal
forward Rene Bourque played in his 500th NHL game. Bourque started his career in
Chicago with the Blackhawks, with whom he played 183 games before suiting up for
249 contests with the Flames and the last 68 with the Canadiens. a Hudlers next
goal will be the 100th of his NHL career. a Monahan, Stempniak and Hudler have
all recorded at least one point all four games the Flames have played this
season.
