MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins Jeff Francouer lined a single to left field with two outs in the eighth inning against Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Joe Blanton on Saturday night, ending a bid for a perfect game.Rich Hill threw seven perfect innings, striking out nine and throwing 89 pitches. With the Dodgers ahead 5-0, first-year manager Dave Roberts replaced the 35-year-old left-hander with Joe Blanton at the start of the eighth inning.Blanton stuck out Christian Yelich and retired Marcell Ozuna on a groundout before the clean hit by Francouer.Left fielder Yasiel Puig, brought back from the minors on Sept. 2, made an outstanding diving catch for the final out of the seventh to preserve the bid. Martin Prado hit a drive to deep left-center, and Puig sprinted and as he approached the warning track dived toward the wall to make the catch 356 feet from the plate.Hill entered a combined 11-3 with a 1.94 ERA in 16 starts this year for Oakland the Dodgers, who acquired him on Aug. 1. He has just three complete games in 91 big league starts over 12 seasons.Hill spent time on the disabled list this year with groin and blister injuries. Wholesale Magic Jerseys .

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays say they are not taking anything for granted during this home stand.They are facing two teams who have the worst records in the American League.They defeated the Los Angeles Angels (52-73) in the opener of a three-game series 7-2 on Tuesday.The Angels have lost 11 straight road games, the most since they lost 14 road games in a row April 29-June 8, 1969.The Minnesota Twins (49-76) follow the Angels for a three-game series at Rogers Centre starting Friday.Then the Blue Jays go to Baltimore for a three-game series against the Orioles, who are two games out of first in the American League behind the Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox who are tied for first.I think the onus for us should be on just playing good baseball and not beating ourselves, said knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who pitched 6 2/3 innings Tuesday for the win. If we can execute and play good baseball I think we should come out of this homestand feeling good about the momentum going to Baltimore. If we dont play well those teams can beat you just easily as a team like the Red Sox.The Angels have long been out of postseason contention but infielder Cliff Pennington, who played part of last season with the Blue Jays when they won the Al East, said returning to Rogers Centre brings back good memories.It was an amazing three months I spent here playing at the Rogers Centre, Pennington said Tuesday before going 1-for-2 with a walk as the Angels second baseman. Those last three months was one of the coolest experiences Ive had as a player. ... the atmosphere here in the Rogers Centre was one of the coolest things Ive experienced.The Blue Jays will start right-hander Marco Estrada (7-5, 3.dddddddddddd20 ERA) in the second game of the series on Wednesday against Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker (7-13, 4.14 ERA).Estrada allowed five hits, including three home runs, and five runs in four innings Aug. 16 against the New York Yankees and did not return after a rain delay. He did not factor in the decision when the Blue Jays came back to win 12-8.The six-man rotation with the extra day between starts has not been good for Estrada so far. He is 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA in eight starts on four days rest this season, is 2-4 with a 3.97 ERA in nine starts on five days rest, and 2-1 with a 3.91 ERA in four starts with six or more days of rest.In two career starts against the Angels, he is 1-0 with a 4.97 ERA.Shoemaker is going for two wins in a row. He allowed five hits, two walks and two earned runs over seven innings Thursday to earn the win against the Seattle Mariners. He has a 3.12 ERA over his past 18 starts with 114 strikeouts and 18 walks.In two career games, including one start, against the Blue Jays he is 1-1 with an 8.38 ERA. In his only start against Toronto, he allowed eight runs (seven earned) over six innings at Rogers Centre on May 21, 2015.While the Blue Jays will try to maintain at least a share of first place in their division, the Angels will try to end an ugly road losing streak.Down the stretch every game is important, Blue Jays infielder Darwin Barney said. I dont think were taking anyone lightly. Thats a good team over there. ' ' '
