ARLINGTON, Texas -- Toronto manager John Gibbons knew Chien-Ming Wang could help the beaten up Blue Jays pitching staff. He just didnt think it would happen this soon. Wang won for the first time in more than a year, Colby Rasmus homered for a third straight game, and the Blue Jays completed a four-game sweep by beating the Texas Rangers 7-2 on Sunday for their fifth straight victory. The 33-year-old Wang twice won 19 games for the New York Yankees before injuries derailed his career. He hurt his right foot in 2008 and injured his right shoulder in 2009. In his second start with the Blue Jays, Wang (1-0) allowed seven hits in seven shutout innings to win for the first time since last June 12 with Washington. Toronto signed Wang last Tuesday to bolster a rotation with three starters on the disabled list. "We didnt know what to expect, to be honest with you," Gibbons said. "He was one of the best in the game with (the Yankees). We got some good reports on him, otherwise he wouldnt be here. To be honest, hes pitching better than I expected of him." Wang was 4-4 with a 2.33 ERA in nine starts this year for the Yankees Triple-A team at Scranton-Wilkes-Barre. New York released him last week at his request, and Wang signed with the Blue Jays. Wang finished his 99-pitch outing by getting Andrus to ground out to second with runners on first and third in the seventh. He struck out five and walked two. "I waited for a chance to come up to the majors," Wang said. "Toronto picked me and gave me a chance to come here and play." The Rangers lost their sixth in a row and fell to 1-6 on a season-high, 11-game homestand. Texas has dropped six straight for the first time since April 15-21, 2010. Texas manager Ron Washington said he spoke with the team after the game, but didnt divulge his message. "I thought they needed to hear from the manager," Washington said. "Were not the first team to lose six in a row and we probably wont be the last." Adam Lind hit a three-run homer, and J.P. Arencibia added a two-run shot for Toronto. The Blue Jays outscored the Rangers 24-4 to sweep a four-game series at Texas for the first time. "I keep hearing the Rangers are struggling and all that," Gibbons said. "Maybe were pitching good. Maybe were playing good. I get tired of hearing that. I tip my hat to my guys." Derek Holland (5-4) allowed four runs and 10 hits in six innings for the Rangers, who have only scored eight runs in their slide. Elvis Andrus had an RBI single, and Ian Kinsler walked with the bases loaded to break up the shutout in the ninth. Texas has lost six in a row at home for the first time since a seven-game slide from July 20-Aug. 3, 2005. "I didnt sense any frustration," Texas outfielder David Murphy said. "Were past that point. Things didnt happen. With the amount of talent we have here, were very close to turning this thing around." Arencibia, who entered the series in a 3-for-41 rut, hit his second homer in three games. He lined an 0-1 pitch just over the 14-foot fence in left, a two-run shot that gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead. It was the first home run Holland has given up since May 19. Rasmus led off the fourth with a drive off the foul pole in right for his 13th homer. The Blue Jays scored four times in the seventh to extend their lead to 7-0. Jose Bautista had an RBI single, and Lind capped it with a three-run homer to right off Kyle McClellan. Lind went 7 for 17 in the series with two home runs and six RBIs. Adrian Beltre and A.J. Pierzynski had consecutive one-out singles in the fourth to put runners on first and third. The Rangers, however, couldnt take advantage of that chance. Third baseman Edwin Encarnacion made a diving catch to his right of Nelson Cruzs liner, and David Murphy popped out to left to end the threat. Texas rookie Jurickson Profar started at third base for the first time in his career. Beltre had a scheduled day off in the field and was the designated hitter. Before the game, Profar spent time on the field working with infield coach Dave Anderson. Kinsler batted third for the first time since May 22, 2011. He batted in that spot 60 times in 2010. NOTES: Texas DH Lance Berkman had a scheduled day off. ... Lind has hit safely in 17 of 19 games. ...

Both teams were conference finalists a year ago, both clubs have an unmistakable identity that defines them, both play unselfish, defence-first basketball and in the last four days, both have reminded the Raptors how far they are from competing at their level. cheap jerseys online .

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- Canadas Aleksandra Wozniak rallied to upset Monica Niculescu 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday to move on to the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open. The wild-card entry from Blainville, Que., fought back after trailing 2-4 in the final set to down the world No. 28. Meanwhile, top-ranked Victoria Azarenka extended her winning streak to 24 matches by beating Michaella Krajicek 6-3, 7-5. Azarenkas streak began with her first match this year, and her start is the best since Martina Hingis went 37-0 to begin 1997. Azarenka is bidding for her third Key Biscayne title and second in a row. No. 15 Ana Ivanovic lost only six points on her first serve and beat Vania King 6-4, 7-5. Ivanovic was playing for the first time since she retired with a left hip injury a week ago at the Indian Wells semifinals. Another wild card stunned a ranked player as Garbine Muguruza Blanco upset No. 9 Vera Zvonareva 6-4, 6-3. In other action, No. 18 Angelique Kerber lost to Zheng Jie 7-6 (4), 6-1 and No. 31 Kaia Kanepi was beaten by Silvia Soler-Espinosa 7-5, 6-3. On the mens side, 2009 champ Andy Murray won his opening match 6-2, 6-3 over Alejandro Falla. Murray bounced back from a loss in his first match at Indian Wells two weeks ago. He also avoided a repeat of last year, when he lost his opening match at both Indian Wells and Key Biscayne. With the victory, the No. 4--seeded Murray improved to 15-3 this year.dddddddddddd Other seeded men to reach the third round included No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 9 Janko Tipsarevic, No. 13 Gilles Simon, No. 18 Alexandr Dolgopolov and No. 22 Jurgen Melzer. Wozniak, ranked 65th, has never been past the second round at the tournament. She levelled the third set 4-4, then broke Niculescu before serving out the victory on the first of two match points. Wozniak won a lower-level title last week in the Bahamas after exiting the Indian Wells tournament in the first round earlier this month. "It was a tough match overall, she played well," Wozniak said. "I had to adjust and fight in the third set. I kept pressing in the third and missing less. "Ive won seven matches in a row now. You really need matches to build your momentum and your game." Azarenka double-faulted six times and lost three service games, but Krajicek was even more erratic with her serve. Krajicek failed to hold at 5-4 in the second set, double-faulting three times, and Azarenka swept the final 10 points. The Belarussian seeks her fifth title this year after winning at Indian Wells a week ago. Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., was set to open his tournament later Friday with a match against Arnaud Clement of France. Rafael Nadal and John Isner were also among those scheduled to play. cheap jerseys ' ' '
