DETROIT - Aaron Hill gave the Toronto Blue Jays one of their more satisfying wins in a trying season. Jeremy Lin Jersey . Hill hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth inning, capping the Blue Jays come-from-behind 8-6 victory over the slumping Detroit Tigers. "Its great to see us keep coming back," Hill said. Rod Barajas, Vernon Wells and Marco Scutaro also went deep for Toronto (65-77), which handed the American League Central-leading Tigers their fifth straight loss. They lead the Chicago White Sox by five games. "I think its a case that you never have the appreciation of how hard it is to win games up here," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "And I think were struggling through that a little bit right now." Miguel Cabrera, Curtis Granderson and Alex Avila homered for Detroit. The Blue Jays tied it 6-6 in the eighth on Brandon Lyons wild pitch that allowed Wells to score from third. He was there because he alertly advanced from second on Barajas foul pop that Cabrera, at first, had to make a running catch on right at the fence behind first base. With Cabreras momentum going the other way, Wells tagged and moved to third. "On that kind of play I always go back and tag up, no matter what, just in case," Wells said. Scutaro singled with two out in the ninth. He then stole second before Hill drilled Fernando Rodneys 3-1 pitch down the left-field line for his 32nd homer. "I was looking for a fastball, you have to when a guy can throw that hard," Hill said. "But he threw a changeup and it was up." Hill, who leads the A.L. with 299 total bases, only rejoined the Blue Jays on Friday night after being in Florida for three games for the birth of his first child. Rodney (2-4) allowed two runs and two hits while getting just two outs. He also walked a batter. Brandon League (3-5) pitched two perfect innings. Jason Frasor got the final out, with runners on first and third, for his 10th save in 12 chances. Cabreras three-run homer off Scott Richmond gave the Tigers a 6-3 lead in the fifth. The drive estimated at 420 feet was his 29th home run and ended Richmonds night. Richmond gave up six runs on five hits in 4 1-3 innings, walking four and striking out three. "Plain and simple its lack of fastball command," Richmond said. Wells immediately cut the deficit to two when he went deep to lead off the sixth for his 14th homer and Scutaros two-out shot in the seventh, his 12th, made it 6-5. Granderson hit the 23rd leadoff homer of his career, tying him with Lou Whitaker for the Tigers record. Barajas two-run blast in the top of the second put Toronto up 2-1. Barajas followed Lyle Overbays leadoff walk with a drive to left-center on Jacksons 2-1 pitch for his 18th homer of the season and second in two games. But Avilas two-run shot in the bottom of the second restored Detroits lead. He hit Richmonds 2-0 pitch deep into the right-field stands for his fifth homer. It also scored Clete Thomas, who led off with a single. Scutaros RBI single in the fifth tied it 3-3. Tigers starter Edwin Jackson allowed five runs and eight hits -- including three home runs -- in seven innings, walking one and striking out four. "They were ready for the fastball all night, but those two (to Wells and Scutaro) were just up," Jackson said. Notes: Detroit LHP Nate Robertson, who started Friday nights game but left in the fourth inning because of an injury, has pelvic inflammation according to a MRI. He will be re-evaluated in a few days. ... Toronto LF Adam Lind didnt play on Saturday night after being hit in the leg with a pitch on Friday night. ...

Tweet CHICAGO -- Slowly but surely, the Chicago Blackhawks are getting their injured players back on the ice.   The only one who didnt skate during Tuesdays practice was forward Patrick Kane, who seemed to aggravate his lower-body injury this past weekend during a practice. Otherwise, forwards Marian Hossa (lower body) and Viktor Stalberg (upper body) both went through a full practice session -- which was held in front of fans at Johnnys Ice House West.   Hossa also skated for about 30 minutes after the regular practice session concluded, but neither he nor Kane will play on Wednesday night at home against the Nashville Predators. Stalberg might return, but Hawks coach Joel Quenneville will make the final call after Wednesdays morning skate.   "Were going to shoot for after Christmas with Hossa," Quenneville said. "He looked good out there today. Hes close."   As for Kane? NHL INSIDER Lidstroms trick shows his amazing skill Adam Kimeman- NHL.com Staff Writer Nicklas Lidstrom has done so much in his spectacular career, but managed another first Wednesday night, netting his first career NHL hat trick.

"I think his conditioning is still going to be right for game conditions. Its just a matter (of) … until he feels good on the ice. Authentic Carmelo Anthony Jersey. Hes not too far away either."   Despite Kane twice appearing to have setbacks in his recovery, Quenneville said he didnt think Kane got back on the ice for practices too early with whats believed to be an ankle injury.   "Its just part of it," Quenneville said.   Stalberg, whos missed two games since getting smashed head-first into the corner glass against Colorado last week, said hes ready to play if it were up to him.   "It was tough watching two games from the stands," said Stalberg, who has 6 goals and 13 points in 32 games played. "I had a similar thing happen in Toronto last year. Im just happy it wasnt worse than it was. Its a long year, so its not the end of the world."   Chicago also just got forward Fernando Pisani back into the lineup last Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. Hed missed eight games with an upper-body injury incurred on the road Nov. 26 against the Anaheim Ducks.   Once Hossa and Kane return, the feeling inside the Hawks locker room is that they could be better off in the long run in ways other than just having more talent on the ice.   "Its kind of tough to say injuries are good for any team, but battling through adversity and having other guys step up and fill those roles while key players are out can only help us down the stretch," said forward Patrick Sharp, who leads Chicago with 18 goals and 34 points. "Once we get healthy -- and knock on wood, if we can get healthy -- well be a much better team for it." Wholesale Jerseys.
