TORONTO -- Detroits Austin Jackson lined the first pitch from Toronto starter Esmil Rogers into right-centre field for a leadoff single on Thursday night. It was all downhill from there for the Blue Jays. Jackson hit a two-run homer and scored four runs while Tigers starter Justin Verlander threw seven shutout innings as Detroit crushed Toronto 11-1 in front of 35,978 fans at Rogers Centre. Verlander (9-5) allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out five. Jackson had four of Detroits 16 hits and Don Kelly chipped in with three runs of his own. Maicer Izturis hit a two-out single in the ninth inning to bring Josh Thole home with Torontos only run. The Blue Jays managed just six hits on the night. "We didnt play good baseball," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "Plain and simple." Toronto (41-44) fell three games under the .500 mark and deeper into the American League East basement. Detroit (46-38) won the last three games of the four-game set to hand the Blue Jays their first home series loss in over two months. "A lot of times its not who youre playing, its when youre playing them," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "They didnt have (Edwin) Encarnacion for most of the series, Melky Cabrera is on the DL and banged up a little bit. Im very impressed with their bullpen, they keep bringing really good arms out of the bullpen. "I look for them to have a big second half. Theyre a good team. (Jose) Reyes hasnt been back too long. Theyre going to be really good in the second half. We just got them at the right time." The Blue Jays have dropped eight of 11 since going on an 11-game winning streak through mid-June. "We were on that nice little streak and then ran into a few buzzsaws," Gibbons said. "Tonight we just didnt have anything. It just wasnt a good ball game. We fell behind, Rogers got hit around pretty good and then Verlander, hes not going to give you much. "Even when hes not on, hes not going to give you much." Verlander was certainly on for this one, his first appearance at Rogers Centre since tossing a no-hitter on May 7, 2011. The veteran right-hander breezed through the Toronto lineup over the first half of the game. He was perfect until giving up a two-out single to Encarnacion in the fourth inning. "Verlander was just locked in and when a guys locked in, you dont play around," said Tigers right-fielder Torii Hunter. With the win, the Central Division-leading Tigers moved 1 1/2 games up on the Cleveland Indians, who dropped a 10-7 decision to the Kansas City Royals. "They swing, they swing pretty good over there," Gibbons said. "Going in you figure (slugger Miguel) Cabreras not in the lineup, you kind of like to see that. But it didnt matter tonight." In the first, Andy Dirks hit an RBI double off Rogers (3-4) and moved to third on a Hunter groundout. Dirks scored on a single by cleanup hitter Prince Fielder. The Tigers tacked on two more runs in the third inning. Jackson got things started again with a single and Dirks followed with a walk. Jackson came across on a double by Hunter and Dirks moved to third. After a Fielder strikeout, Rogers made a nice play by snagging a comebacker from Victor Martinez and chasing down Dirks in no-mans land for the second out. Jhonny Peralta doubled to score Hunter and make it a 4-0 game. With two runners in scoring position, Rogers got out of the jam when Alex Avila lined out to centre field. Izturis legged out an infield hit in the fifth and moved to second when Rajai Davis drew a walk. Izturis took third base on a J.P. Arencibia sacrifice fly but Munenori Kawasaki flied out to end the threat. Rogers was pulled after giving up three straight singles to open the sixth. All three runners came around to score. Jacksons single drove in Ramon Santiago, Kelly scored on a sacrifice fly by Hunter and Jackson came across on an infield single by Fielder. "He was missing off the plate a lot so that put him into a little bit of a jam," Gibbons said. "You can see when hes good, hes flipping his off-speed stuff in there, with a good slider, the occasional curveball and some change-ups. "That big two-seam fastball has been a big pitch for him lately but he couldnt keep that on the plate." Rogers allowed 11 hits, seven earned runs and two walks while striking out four. His earned-run average rose from 3.12 to 3.84. He felt his sinker wasnt effective, possibly due to a slight difference in his delivery. "It was a little bit slow -- my arm," he said. "I watched the video after the game and I saw my arm was a little longer than it is normally. Im going to get ready for the next (game)." Reyes led off the bottom of the sixth with a sharp single to right field. Encarnacion drew a one-out walk but Adam Lind hit into an inning-ending double play. The Tigers piled on with two more runs in the eighth inning. Jackson went deep off reliever Neil Wagner for his fifth home run of the season. Blue Jays closer Casey Janssen came on for some work in the ninth but was pulled after loading the bases and then issuing a one-out walk to Dirks. Hunter hit a sacrifice fly off Aaron Loup before Fielder was retired on a groundout. Notes: The Blue Jays will close out their seven-game homestand with a weekend series against the Minnesota Twins.

Acclaimed by world football leaders but held in contempt by many football fans. Blatter should arrive at the Itaquerao stadium in Sao Paulo to watch host Brazil play Croatia confident that this tournament -- his fifth as president -- wont be his last leading the worlds favourite sport.An in-season entry into a head coaching position is probably never ideal timing, but doing so with your first assignment against the defending Stanley Cup champions sounds especially brutal. After the dismissal of 2012-13 coach of the year Paul MacLean, thats exactly what promoted assistant coach Dave Cameron faces Thursday night as the Ottawa Senators turn the page against the Los Angeles Kings. Viewers and listeners in the Senators region can catch the game at 7:30pm et/8:30pm at on TSN5 and TSN Radio 1200. While a switch might help to overcome what general manager Bryan Murray referred to as uneasiness in the locker room and a one-way street of communication under MacLean, he was quick to point out that theres plenty of correcting to do on the ice. We continue to be a big turnover team in our zone, Murray said. Our goaltending has been, to say the least, outstanding most nights to give us a chance to win hockey games. The chances against our team are, some nights, atrocious. I think theres an obligation for a lot of people, the players included, to perform better than that. But the leader of the pack always is the coach. The Senators (11-11-5) managed a 4-3 home win over Vancouver in MacLeans finale on Sunday, and then elected to make the move on Monday with three days before their next game. Mika Zibanejad had two goals and two assists against the Canucks to extend his point streak to four games. The win followed five straight losses and required Ottawa to recover from a 3-0 deficit, and itll now try to string together wins for the first time since Nov. 4-6. Those two games ended a 7-3-2 start, and the Senators have since gone 4-8-3 while allowing 3.07 goals per game. Los Angeles (14-9-5) could actually provide a bit of a respite for the defensive issues. The Kings were shut out by one of the worst teams in hockey in their first stop on a five-game road trip, falling 1-0 in Buffalo on Tuesday. Los Angeles has totaled eight goals during a 2-3-0 stretch. Were not scoring enough, defenseman Drew Doughty told the teams official website. Were playing well defensively, were not giving up a lot, but the bottom line is, we need to put pucks in the net. Theyve limited opponents to three goals in four games, but defenseman Matt Greene warned against cultivating optimism from such numbers as Los Angeles fell to 3-5-4 on the road.dddddddddddd Its still a ways off from how we need to play if we want to get our game going and play the way we can, Greene said. Thats it. Theres no positives. Los Angeles will face Craig Anderson, who ended a personal six-game losing streak with a 30-save effort against the Canucks. Anderson is 1-5-1 with a 3.16 goals-against average after a 5-2-3 start with a 2.05 GAA. While some of that shift might fairly be attributed to the defensive-zone struggles outlined by Murray, some could also fall on Anderson, who had a .942 save percentage in his first 10 games thats fallen to .906 in his last seven. Anderson is 1-6-4 with a 3.95 GAA in 12 starts against the Kings. He may not have much margin for error whether he faces Jonathan Quick or Martin Jones. Jones has shutouts in his last two starts, while Quick is 1-2-0 with a 1.01 GAA in three starts this month. Quick is 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA against the Senators, which mirrors recent history in the series. Los Angeles has won nine of 11, including a two-game sweep a season ago. Kings center Jeff Carter, who has gone six games without a point for the second time this season, totaled three goals and three assists in the two meetings. Hes never gone pointless in seven straight in a single season.
