TORONTO -- After Devon Travis came within a few feet of a game-winning home run, he found a different way to circle the bases.Travis scored the winning run on a wild pitch, and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for three runs in the 12th inning to beat the San Diego Padres 7-6 on Tuesday night.Matt Kemp put the Padres in front with a two-run homer off Jesse Chavez (1-2) in the top of the 12th, but San Diegos bullpen couldnt hold the lead.Travis drew a 14-pitch walk to load the bases, bringing Paul Clemens on in relief of Carlos Villanueva (1-2). Travis fouled off eight straight pitches, including one drive that sailed just wide of the left-field foul screen.Thats as good as it gets, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.Clemens walked Jose Bautista to make it 6-5 before Josh Donaldson tied it with a fielders choice grounder.With Edwin Encarnacion batting, a pitch bounced away from catcher Derek Norris, and Travis slid in headfirst just ahead of the tag as his teammates stormed out of the dugout to celebrate.I know (Clemens) has a really good curveball, a really sharp one, Travis said. I was praying for in the dirt. It took a bad bounce, but a good bounce for us.Gibbons called it a crazy game.Im proud of the guys, he said. They keep gutting it out, competing.It was the second key run to score on a wild pitch: Toronto catcher Russell Martin made it 4-all when he scored on Brad Hands wild pitch in the seventh.It is a frustrating loss, especially how hard the guys battled back on a couple of occasions, Padres manager Andy Green said.Donaldson hit a two-run homer and Justin Smoak had a solo shot for the Blue Jays.Alex Dickerson hit a three-run shot, his third homer in three games, as San Diego extended its club-record streak of games with at least one home run to 24. Its the longest run since the 2002 Texas Rangers set a major league record by homering in 27 straight.Donaldson connected off Andrew Cashner in the first, his 25th, but San Diego halved the deficit on Ryan Schimpfs RBI double in the second.Smoaks leadoff homer in the fifth put Toronto up 3-1, but Marcus Stroman couldnt hold the lead, giving up Dickersons homer in the sixth.Outfielder Melvin Upton Jr., traded from San Diego to Toronto before the game, made his Blue Jays debut as a pinch hitter in the seventh. He grounded into a fielders choice.WHEELING AND DEALINGToronto announced another trade minutes after the game ended: The Blue Jays acquired reliever Joaquin Benoit from the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Drew Storen. Benoit, who turned 39 on Tuesday, is 1-1 with a 5.18 ERA in 26 games this season.WORKING OVERTIMEThe Blue Jays and Padres have played extra innings three times in their past five meetings. The first of those games lasted 17 innings.REPEAT PERFORMANCEDonaldson is the first third baseman in Blue Jays history to post consecutive 25-homer seasons.HIT PARADEBlue Jays RHP Roberto Osuna hit two batters with pitches in the ninth, matching the number hed hit in 114 previous career innings pitched.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Class-A RHP Chris Paddack, acquired from Miami in last months trade for Fernando Rodney, has been sidelined indefinitely with a strained forearm.Blue Jays: Gibbons said Jose Bautista will be the DH on Wednesday, allowing Upton to make his first start for Toronto.UP NEXTPadres: RHP Luis Perdomo (4-4, 6.93 ERA) will make his first career appearance against Toronto. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts.Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (7-11, 4.44) will start on three days rest, with RHP Marco Estrada getting pushed back to Friday. Estrada (back) was on the disabled list from July 3 to July 21. Dickey has lost his past two starts. Nike Roshe Sneakers On Sale .

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. Cheap Nike Roshes For Sale . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Cheap Nike Roshe Free Shipping . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. SEATTLE -- By this point, they might as well consider Seattle and Carolina a divisional game.For the seventh time in five years, the Panthers and Seahawks will meet on Sunday night each with a different sense of urgency heading into the final month of the regular season.Seattle (7-3-1) reverted to its inconsistent form of earlier this season in a loss last week to Tampa Bay that now leaves the Seahawks, while still in complete control of the NFC West, with no room for error in trying to hold off others in the NFC for the No. 2 seed and a coveted first-round bye in the playoffs.The level of urgency is far greater for the defending NFC champion Panthers.After last weeks loss in Oakland , the Panthers (4-7) are three games behind in the NFC South race and 2+ games behind Washington for the final wild-card spot with five games to go.There is time for Carolina, but its running short to avoid joining the list of Super Bowl participants to miss the postseason the following year.Weve lost five games by three points or less. We had opportunities to win football games down the stretch and didnt do it, Carolina coach Ron Rivera said.Those are things that unfortunately we just didnt do. We did it last year and thats probably the hard pill to swallow.Theres also the Super Bowl hangover, something that Rivera acknowledged researching what Seattle coach Pete Carroll did following the back-to-back trips by the Seahawks to the championship game to try and figure out ways to avoid a swoon by his team.I think its got a little bit to do with it. The truth of the matter is if you win the first game, things can be different. Unfortunately we didnt, so we have to battle uphill, Rivera said.Unlike the Panthers, thus far at least, Seattle was able to overcome early troubles following both of its Super Bowl trips to find a way back to the postseason.I think you have to be prepared for it way before you ever get to it, Carroll said.If its the first time you ever talk about it, I think you might not be able to have grounded thoughts and approach to deal with it. Its an enormous impact, win or lose.Thanks to the underperformance by the rest of the division, Seattle is in fine shape to make a fifth straight playoff appearance under Carroll, with a three-game lead in the NFC West over Arizona.The loss last week to Tampa Bay seemed destined from the outset, with the Seahawks down four starters onn defense including safety Earl Thomas, and without starting center Justin Britt the anchor to whats been a shaky offensive line all season.ddddddddddddBut managing just five points -- and only a field goal by the offense -- was a startling reversal back to Seattles offensive problems early in the season when the Seahawks began the season with 12 points in a win over Miami and three points in a loss to Los Angeles.We were just a little bit off. Last week was last week. You can always get better, Seattle QB Russell Wilson said.Heres what else to watch as the past three NFC representatives in the Super Bowl meet:RUNNING DOWNHILL: Stopping the Panthers run game means more than just worrying about the running back.I think theyre the only team in the league that runs a quarterback power, Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said.While many of the Panthers offensive statistics are down from a year ago, they still remain one of the most diverse running attacks in the league with Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert and Newton.And Seattle has seemed more susceptible to the run this season, giving up 100.8 yards per game on the ground and seeing teams stick with the run more than the past. Opponents are averaging 28.4 run attempts per game against Seattle. Last season, it was 22.6.LINES OF CHANGE: Both the offensive lines for Seattle and Carolina are in major flux.The Seahawks are hoping to get Britt back from an ankle injury that sidelined him last week. With Britt out, Seattle struggled with protection and the Bucs sacked Wilson six times. The Seahawks are also making a change at right tackle with Bradley Sowell stepping in to replace Garry Gilliam.Those are minor changes compared to what the Panthers are going through . Centers Ryan Khalil and Gino Gradkowski were placed on injured reserve this week.Tyler Larsen is expected to make his first start at center, but the changes also include Trai Turner expected to start at right tackle for the first time since high school and Chris Scott likely stepping in at guard.PROTECT HOME: The Seahawks are the only unbeaten team at home in the NFL this season. But its been four years -- 2012- since Seattle finished the season 8-0 at home.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
