excitement, and there should be, Rays manager Kevin Cash

BALTIMORE -- John Harbaugh had been waiting the entire season for the Baltimore Ravens to put it all together in one memorable, outstanding performance.His patience was rewarded Sunday.The Ravens combined a record-setting passing day by Joe Flacco with a rugged defensive effort in a 38-6 rout of the Miami Dolphins.It was just a heck of a team victory, Harbaugh said. Its something thats been in our minds, our vision of how we played today as a team. Its what were working for, and its nice to see it happen.Flacco threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns, and the Ravens (7-5) made it apparent early that Miamis six-game winning streak would not make it to seven.Baltimore built a 24-0 halftime lead behind the leagues second-ranked defense and Flacco, who went 27 for 34 for 258 yards and three scores.That was enough to provide the Ravens with their fourth win in five games and at least a share of first place in the AFC North.Flacco finished with a franchise-record 36 completions in 47 attempts, by far his most impressive outing in an uneven season. He entered with 11 TD passes and 10 interceptions.It feels good to throw four touchdown passes, Flacco said, but at the end of the day, what does it really matter? As long as we win, thats what matters.Miami (7-5) didnt score until Ryan Tannehill threw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter following a fumble recovery that started the drive at the Baltimore 8.That made it 24-6, and Flacco answered with a 53-yard touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman with 12:49 left.Two of Flaccos TD passes went to tight end Dennis Pitta, whos enjoying a fine season in his return from a second hip surgery. Pitta had nine catches for 90 yards and leads Baltimore with 61 receptions, but he hadnt reached the end zone since December 2013.Tannehill went 29 for 40 for 226 yards and three interceptions. He was picked off only once during Miamis six-game streak.The Ravens scored a touchdown on their first possession for the second week in a row, moving 75 yards before Flacco connected with Terrance West for a 3-yard score.Unlike last week, when Baltimore managed just one TD in a win over Cincinnati, the Ravens immediately built on their early advantage. Following a missed field goal by the Dolphins, Flacco deftly took Baltimore downfield before throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Pitta.The drive was extended by Kenneth Dixons 10-yard run on a fourth-and-1.Flacco capped an 18-play drive in the second quarter with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Pitta. The methodical march took up 8 minutes, 57 seconds.QUOTEABLEDolphins: This was not one of our best performances, coach Adam Gase said. You cant waste opportunities early in the game, especially on offense. We had nothing that really jump-started us. We just couldnt make any plays.Ravens: I thought Joe just played phenomenally well, Harbaugh said. Joe and the offensive line got the game balls in the locker room. I thought (Flaccos) vision was phenomenal. He moved around and made plays on the run, guys made catch-and-run plays. It looked like we wanted it to look.NOWHERE TO RUNDolphins: Miami was limited to 62 yards rushing, its lowest output since gaining 51 in a loss to Tennessee on Oct. 9 -- its last loss. Jay Ajayi was held to 61 yards on 12 carries.Ravens: The Ravens split the handoffs. Dixon gained 56 yards on six attempts and West had 10 carries for 50 yards, including a 9-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.STILL PERFECTRavens kicker Justin Tucker connected on a 55-yard field goal to end the first half. Hes 28 for 28 this season, with eight FGs of at least 50 yards. Hes also hit 35 in a row over two seasons.Gase used a timeout an instant before Tucker banged his field goal try through the uprights. After the timeout, Tucker duplicated the feat.INJURY UPDATEDolphins: LB Kiko Alonso (hand) missed part of the first half. ... CB Tony Lippett was evaluated for a concussion and cleared in second quarter.Ravens: CB Tavon Young (shoulder) left in the second quarter but returned after halftime.UP NEXTDolphins: Miami hosts Arizona next Sunday. The Dolphins have won three straight in the series after losing the first eight.Ravens: A Monday night game in New England looms for the Ravens, 1-7 against the Patriots in the regular season.

Happ continues to set a personal best.The Toronto Blue Jays left-hander won 12 games in 2009 with the Philadelphia Phillies. That total is barely visible in the rear-view mirror as he goes for his 16th win Wednesday in the series finale, and rubber match, of a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays.Happ (15-3, 3.09 ERA) will be facing left-hander Blake Snell (3-4, 2.95 ERA) at Rogers Centre.Happ also will be trying for his 10th straight winning decision after losing against the Detroit Tigers on June 6. In 10 starts since the loss, he is 9-0 with a 2.49 ERA.He also has allowed one or no walks in five of his past seven starts and has 41 walks against 116 strikeouts in 137 innings, which he credits pitching coach Pete Walker for.Its something Pete stressed to us at the start of the year, Happ said. Its a big reason weve had the success weve had. Were out there attacking the zone and weve got a great defense behind us, so we just let them do their work.The Rays have been a tough opponent for Happ.In 12 career games, including 11 starts, against Tampa Bay, Happ is 2/3 with a 5.37 ERA. This season, he is 0-1 with a 7.98 ERA in three starts against Tampa Bay.He will also be pitching on five days rest for the sixth time this season. He has gone 2/3 with an 8.25 ERA in five previous start with an extra days rest.Meanwhile, Snell is one of the bright spots in a gloomy season for the Rays.Snell will be making the 11th start of his major league career Wednesday.ddddddddddddm going to have to be on my A-game, but Im really looking forward to it, said the 23-year-old who has never faced the Blue Jays.Theres a lot of excitement, and there should be, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. This organization has seen some really good young pitchers come up, and I think he fits right into that mode.Snell did not factor in the decision Friday, a 6-2 Rays loss to the Minnesota Twins, when he allowed four hits, two walks and one run while striking out seven in 5 1/3 innings. He has allowed two or fewer runs in five consecutive starts, lowering his ERA from 3.86 to 2.95. He has 56 strikeouts in 55 innings, a 9.16 ratio of strikeouts per nine innings, second to Baltimore Orioles right-hander Mychal Givens among American League rookies.He will be facing a Toronto team that is known for its ability to score runs but has been slumping with the bats.After the 9-2 loss to the Rays on Tuesday, the Blue Jays are averaging 2.8 runs over their past 10 games in which they have recorded double-digit hits once. They are 5-5 in that span.Toronto left the bases loaded in the sixth inning Tuesday and did not score a run, an example of its recent scoring woes.Were putting guys on base, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after Tuesdays loss. We had some traffic. Were just looking for that big blow. ' ' '
