Ricky Nolasco takes the mound opposite R.A. Dickey on Monday night when the Minnesota Twins open a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. Nolasco will try to pick up where he left off against Milwaukee on Wednesday, when he went seven innings and gave up four runs on six hits to go along with seven strikeouts. Most of that damage came on a three-run homer to Aramis Ramirez in the seventh. For Toronto, Dickey eyes up a third win in his last four starts. He labored through five innings at Detroit his last time out, as he allowed four walks and seven hits. However, Dickey also struck out four and yielded only two earned runs. "It felt like a tightrope the whole game," Dickey said. "You have three or four games a year where your body is just cranky. Who knows what its from? It could be that Im getting close to 40 years old. That could be something, too. "Its not an issue. Ive had cranky days before and pitched well. Its just something I need to monitor and be ready to go (Monday)." After reeling off six straight wins and 15 of 17 overall, Toronto suffered consecutive 5-0 losses to St. Louis over the weekend as the bats have suddenly gone silent. The Blue Jays, one of the top hitting teams in the AL, combined for only seven hits in those two losses. Middle-of-the-lineup stalwarts Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion went 0-for-14. "Its hard to put a finger on it," manager John Gibbons said of his teams first series loss in seven tries. Minnesota has lost three of its last four games and currently resides at the bottom of the AL Central standings. The team is coming off Sundays lopsided, 14-5 setback to the Houston Astros. Twins pitchers gave up four home runs on the day, including a pair of grand slams to Chris Carter and Jon Singleton. Starter Samuel Deduno lasted just three innings. Mondays opener kicks off a nine-game road swing for the Twins, who will also face Detroit and Boston during the trip. The team signed designated hitter Kendrys Morales to a prorated one-year, $12 million contract over the weekend, although he is not expected to play in this series. Minnesota won two of three when these teams squared off in April. Scarpe Asics In Offerta . - Tom Brady and the Patriots routed the Bengals and quieted the doubters.

Gus Poyets side has struggled all season and is coming off consecutive losses to Southampton and Arsenal in which the Black Cats were outscored by a score of 10-0, but the club had the better of the play in the early stages. The visiting side opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Patrick van Aanholt got free down the left flank to the end line and served in an excellent cross and Fletcher got his head to it, nodding it down and into the bottom left corner from about 12 yards out. Palace grabbed a fortunate equalizer in the 55th minute when a strong attempt on target forced Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon into a fantastic diving save, but defender Wes Brown was a bit over eager and knocked the ball into his owwn net to put the sides on level terms.dddddddddddd. The winning tally materialized in the 79th minute as William Buckley did well to find space on the right flank and he sent a low ball across the box. Jordi Gomez waited for it to arrive at his feet before firing a low, accurate strike into the bottom right corner, past a diving Julian Speroni. Things then got worse for the home side when Australian international midfielder Mile Jedinak was shown a second yellow card by referee Phil Dowd and sent off, reducing the Eagles to 10 men. Despite playing a man down, Palace could take some solace in the fact that the fourth officials board showed five minutes of added time, giving them a decent chunk to try to find an equalizer, But it never came and Fletcher completed his double in stoppage time as the Black Cats hung on for their second win of the season and first at Selhurst Park in 19 years.
