TORONTO -- Much like the Toronto Blue Jays, it is all about the future for rookies Anthony Gose, Yan Gomes and Adeiny Hechavarria. Derek Carr Kids Jersey . The trio are trying to prove they belong with Toronto next season. And the Blue Jays are trying to prove they can finally contend for the post-season. In all cases, the verdict is out. But the three rookies did their part on Monday as the Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-5 in 10 innings. Gomes tied the game in the ninth with a two-out home run. Gose won it in the 10th with a two-out single against left-hander Brian Duensing (4-12) that scored Hechavarria, who had singled in the opener of a three-game series that will end the season for both teams. "Theyre making the most of their opportunity," manager John Farrell said. "We cant sit here today and make out next years 25-man roster. But the exposure, the experience that all the guys coming up here for the first time like that is invaluable." The Blue Jays were down to their last out against left-handed closer Glen Perkins in the ninth when Gomes hit his fourth major-league homer to tie the game at five. Gomes entered the game in the eighth at first base, replacing Adam Lind who was 4 for 4 with two runs batted in before giving way to a pinch-runner in the seventh. "I was just trying to get the ball in play, trying to keep the game going and got a good pitch to hit and hit it pretty well," Gomes said. "Im not trying to hit it out of the park but just keep the game going. But thats kind of what my role was, especially against a left-handed pitcher. I was just trying to be ready for it." After Brandon Lyon (4-0) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th, Hechavarria got things going in the bottom of the inning with his hit. He took second on a wild pitch with pinch-hitter J.P. Arencibia at the plate. Arencibia struck out on a ball that got away from catcher Drew Butera. The catchers throw hit Arencibia, who was running to first, but it was ruled that he was not running in the proper lane and Arencibia was called out for interference. That prompted an argument from Farrell and his ejection by plate umpire Marvin Hudson. "I saw it as J.P. was on the line," Farrell said. "Obviously after seeing a replay Marvin made the right call." And Gose came through with the winning single up the middle on the next at-bat. "I was really just trying to put the ball in play and give myself a chance," said the speedy outfielder who started in left but finished the game in centre. "I feel more comfortable and Im having better at-bats. Its pretty special to contribute in that way to help the team win." Trevor Plouffe drove in three runs for the Twins with a homer and a double. Toronto left-hander Aaron Laffey allowed eight hits and four runs, three earned, in five innings. The Twins got 5 2/3 innings from Esmerling Vasquez, who allowed six hits, three walks and three runs in his sixth start of the season. The Blue Jays (71-89) scored in the first on a single by Lind. It brought home Rajai Davis, who led off with a single, took second on a foul out to the catcher and moved to third on a fly out. The Twins (66-94) took a 2-1 lead in the second on the 24th homer of the season by Plouffe after Laffey hit Parmelee with a pitch to lead off the inning. Plouffe doubled in a run with two out in the third to put the Twins into a 3-1 lead. It scored Jamey Carroll, who doubled with one out and took third on Parmelees infield single. Joe Mauer singled in a run in the fifth to put the Twins into a 4-1 lead. It scored Carroll, who led off with an infield hit to shortstop and continued to second on Hechavarrias throwing error. Toronto catcher Jeff Mathis doubled in two runs with two out in the sixth to cut the lead to 4-3. Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., led off the inning with a walk, Lind singled and Yunel Escobar sacrificed them to second and third. Kelly Johnson walked to load the bases. Hechavarria forced Lawrie at the plate with a grounder to third but the throw to first was too late for a double play. "Failure to turn a double play hurt us," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Thats a double-play ball and we went home with it. In my opinion, weve got to turn two there. Those little things end up killing you in the end and they did tonight." After Mathis hit, Alex Burnett replaced Vasquez and struck out Gose to end the inning. Jays lefty Brett Cecil allowed a run in the seventh on a single and a stolen base by Ben Revere and a single by Carroll. The Blue Jays made that run back in the bottom of the inning on a two-out single by Lawrie against Burnett and Linds double against left-hander Tyler Robertson.

Washington is a disappointing 3-8 on the season and has lost three in a row, including Monday nights 27-6 drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the first of three straight games in D.MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City kept the destiny of the Premier League title in its hands by beating Southampton 4-1 on Saturday, with the visitors defeat further marred by a serious-looking injury to England striker Jay Rodriguez. Yaya Toure set City on its way with a third-minute penalty at Etihad Stadium before Rickie Lambert equalized with a spot kick of his own in the 37th. Samir Nasri and Edin Dzeko both scored in first-half injury time for City. The hosts added an 81st-minute fourth goal through Stevan Jovetic to gain three points that put the team a point behind leader Liverpool, with City having played a game less. Liverpool visits West Ham on Sunday and then hosts City in a crucial game in the title race next weekend. City will clinch a second league title in three years by winning its remaining seven matches. Rodriguezs chances of playing in the World Cup were jeopardized after he was carried off on a stretcher with a knee injury midway through the first half, having landed badly as he jumped to control the ball. He is one of the in-form strikers in the Premier League and is likely to be in England manager Roy Hodgsons plans for Brazil. "We need to analyze how hes doing," Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino said, &quuot;but its not looking good. Bo Jackson Nike Jersey. " Southampton was comfortably second best after the break but had City in some trouble at 1-1 after Lamberts 34th straight successful penalty for the club. The turning point of the match arguably was Citys second goal, which arrived when David Silva received a pass when he was in an offside position before crossing for Nasri to apply a simple finish. "The linesman killed off the game, its clear," Pochettino said. Toure scored Citys opener after Dzeko was adjudged to have been fouled by Jose Fonte, and Dzeko almost doubled the lead when he headed against the bar from Nasris cross. Southamptons penalty came after Jack Cork was carelessly tripped by Pablo Zabaleta as he burst into the box and the visitors impressed until Citys two-goal counter-punch in injury time. Jovetic came on for Silva to add the fourth, tapping home from a cross by Jesus Navas, and there was still time for Toure to strike a shot against the post from the edge of box. "We knew it was going to be a big game and a very difficult one, so we take a lot of positives and confidence out of this game," City captain Vincent Kompany said. "Not many teams will dominate a game against Southampton." ' ' '
