TORONTO -- The Houston Astros havent been giving Collin McHugh much run support in recent starts.It was the same story Saturday against Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez.Russell Martin hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning, Sanchez pitched seven innings to get his first win in three starts and Toronto beat the Astros 4-2, stopping Houstons winning streak at four.McHugh (7-10) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings to lose his fourth straight start, with two of those losses coming against the Blue Jays.Theres really no give in that lineup, McHugh said.McHugh has held opponents to three runs or fewer in 10 of his past 11 outings but his 10 losses are a career-high.He didnt quite have the finish on his pitches, manager A.J. Hinch said. As his outing went he was battling himself a little bit.The Astros have been held to two runs or fewer in three of McHughs streak of four losses. Houston is 10-43 this season when it scores less than four runs.Houstons Jose Altuve had two hits, a double and a triple, giving him 997 for his career.Josh Donaldson also homered for the Blue Jays, who have won seven of nine meetings with the Astros.Sanchez (12-2) gave up two runs and three hits in a shaky first, then shut Houston down over the next six frames for his first win since July 25 against San Diego. He allowed two runs and five hits.It seemed like they were just going to jump on the heater early in counts, Martin said. We kind of had to mix it up a little bit, throw some more breaking balls and some off-speed. He did that.Sanchez lowered his ERA to 2.84, second in the American League to Kansas Citys Danny Duffy (2.82).Jason Grilli pitched the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 26th save.Carlos Correa hit a two-run double in the first as the Astros had three straight opposite-field hits.They slapped three balls to right field in a hurry, Sanchez said. I just knew something had to change there.Donaldson cut the deficit in half with a solo homer off McHugh in the bottom of the first, his 28th.Houston missed a chance to add to its lead in the second, when A.J. Reed led off with a double. Third base umpire Jeff Nelson ruled that Tony Kemps one-out liner had landed fair, but Toronto challenged and the call was overturned after video review. Kemp grounded out and George Springer struck out to end the threat.Replay helps us more than it hurts us but thats where I wish they would have taken away replay for a day, Hinch said.McHugh left after back-to-back singles by Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders in the fifth. James Hoyt came on in relief and got Troy Tulowitzki to ground out before Martin homered, his ninth.The game turned on a dime with one swing, Hinch said. (Hoyt) made one bad pitch and it cost us three runs.Hoyt fell behind 3-0 but battled back to 3-2 before Martin homered on a slider.I was confident in the pitch Hoyt said. Just maybe a little up.BRUSH WITH THE LAWWhile chasing Josh Donaldsons foul pop up in the third, Houston 1B Reed collided with a female police officer sitting by the stands, knocking her to the ground. Neither Reed nor the police officer was injured, and both laughed off the incident.ROAD WARRIORAltuve has reached safely in 43 straight road games, tying Jeff Bagwell for the second-longest streak in team history. Bagwell also holds the record for the longest streak, reaching safely in 51 straight road games in 1999.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Altuve started at DH with Marwin Gonzalez at 2B.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Mike Fiers (8-5, 4.46) has struck out 18 batters while walking four over his past three starts.Blue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman (8-5, 4.76) took the loss in an Aug. 1 start at Houston despite allowing one run in seven innings.

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Nike Air Max Discount . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Cheap Nike Air Max . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Coming off their best performance of the season, the Baltimore Ravens appear to have hit their stride at just the right time.The Ravens did just about everything right Sunday in a 38-6 rout of the Miami Dolphins, who came to Baltimore with a six-game winning streak and left with an understanding of what it takes to win in December.We didnt execute, and they pounced all over it. Thats what they do, Miami coach Adam Gase said. Theres a reason why theyve won divisions, theyve won playoff games, theyve won Super Bowls -- because they understand, at this part of the season, youve got to be on it early because it can snowball one way or the other.Baltimore (7-5) scored touchdowns on its first two possessions and coasted to the finish. The Ravens have won four of five to remain tied with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North, and they hope that momentum through a difficult final stretch.Next on the schedule: A matchup against the Patriots (10-2), whom Baltimore has defeated only once in eight regular-season meetings.Now weve got our toughest challenge, coach John Harbaugh said Monday. Were going to need to play our best football on Monday night up in New England to win that football game. We do believe we have a chance to do that, based on where were at right now.Baltimore couldnt have performed much better than it did Sunday. Joe Flacco completed a franchise-record 36 passes, four for touchdowns, as the focal point of an offense that scored 24 first-half points and finished with a season-high 496 yards.The credit goes to Joe and to the players, just for the way they executed, Harbaugh said. It was very sharp, it was very precise. We talked about that many times in here, that we were chasing that kind of precision. To see it consistently, from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, it was somethings thats been in our vision here for a while.Flacco connected with 11 different receivers and totaled 381 yards tthrough the air.dddddddddddd Afterward, someone asked if he considered it to be one of his memorable performances.Hey, its a December game, and it means a lot right now, but weve played a lot of meaningful games around here, truly meaningful games in January and February, so I dont want to look at this game and say something like that, Flacco said.Now in his ninth season, Flacco is a former Super Bowl MVP a veteran of 15 playoff games. But before Sunday he had only one more touchdown pass than interceptions (11-10).Joe played just extremely well and I thought all the guys around him played extremely well, too, Harbaugh said. It came together. Thats one game. Well be looking to try and improve.The point is, dominating the Dolphins probably wont mean much against the Patriots.Its not like golf, where all of a sudden you go out there and your swing starts grooving, Harbaugh said. If it was like that, then it wouldnt be football. Its tough because every single play presents a new challenge against a tough opponent thats doing everything they can within their intellect and their physical ability to thwart your efforts.The defense excelled against Miami, but thats come to be expected from a unit ranked No. 2 overall and first against the run. Miamis only touchdown came in the fourth quarter, on an 8-yard drive following a lost fumble by Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta.Baltimores special teams got a 55-yard field goal from Justin Tucker, and punter Sam Koch dropped two of his three kicks inside the 20.What a great game, team effort, all three phases, safety Eric Weddle said. We played our best to date, and weve got to play better next week. Weve been playing playoff football for the last four weeks, so its nothing new to us.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
