TORONTO -- Jose Bautista had a game to remember.
http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Ryan-McDonagh-Jersey/ . The Toronto Blue Jays right-fielder had his 15th homer of the season, hit into a triple play, threw a runner out at home and was interfered with by a fan as he tried to catch a foul ball in the ninth that resulted in an out after a video review. To top it off, the Blue Jays defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 for their sixth win in a row on Friday. "I think its got to be the most eventful game Ive had in my career," said Bautista, who also extended his hit streak to 12 games. "Id like to see if anyone can find somebody else with that combination of plays." Right-hander Marcus Stroman pitched into the seventh inning in his second major-league start, both of them wins. He walked off to a standing ovation. "Its pretty special," Stroman said. "I tried to do my best tough guy impersonation and tried not to smile. But it was definitely pretty special walking off." Bautista lined into a triple play in the sixth inning, the seventh time a triple play had beeen turned by a Blue Jays opponent. It was the first triple play against Toronto since May 12, 2008, in the second game of a doubleheader at Cleveland. "Its the first time its happened to me," Bautista said. Stroman (3-0) held the Cardinals to one run on seven hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out seven. He was lifted after a leadoff single in the seventh by Tony Cruz. Casey Janssen pitched the ninth inning for his 11th save of the season. Janssens second out came as a result of fan interference when Bautista tried to catch a foul ball hit by Cruz. The play was reviewed and Cruz was called out. "I just felt that somebody stuck a glove right in my face," Bautista said, "And I felt there was some contact there that prevented me from making the play. Obviously (the fan) was caught up in the emotion, just like everybody else. The ball is coming to him, he wants a ball hit by a major-leaguer at a major-league baseball game. Hes not thinking about the play the way I am so you cant blame him for it. But again it doesnt matter they reviewed it and made the right call." Right-hander Lance Lynn (6-4) took the loss, allowing six hits -- including two home runs -- and four walks while striking out six in five innings. The Cardinals (31-31) scored a run in the first. Matt Carpenter led off with a walk and took third on Matt Hollidays ground-rule double to right. Allen Craig singled to right to score Carpenter but Holliday was thrown out at home by Bautista. "I think its always a good play when you can throw anybody out and prevent a run." Bautista said. "Whether (Stroman) needed that at that moment in the game thats more for him to answer, not me. I think he still would have pitched a pretty good game. "The ball was hit to me at the right rate of speed. And I had a chance to throw him out. Dioner (Navarro) made a play terrific play, a fine play because my throw wasnt as good as it could have been and he still managed to catch the ball as it was going toward the runner and stay away from the running lane that they now have to give and still tag him out. So that was a pretty good play." Second baseman Brett Lawrie followed it up with a fine play on Yadier Molinas grounder to end the inning. "That is just huge momentum and puts you back into your groove and kind of lets you know your guys are behind you." Stroman said. "Right out of the gate he struggled a little bit but then he started using all his pitches," manager John Gibbons said. "He was primarily pumping the fastballs in there and when he started using his breaking ball, his change-up a little bit, it made all the difference in the world." St. Louis manager Mike Matheny acknowledged that Stroman kept the Cardinals hitters on their heels. "He kept us off balance," said Mike Matheny. "He had good life on his fastball. We saw a lot of swings and misses, probably more swings and misses than what we saw on any kind of video we had on him, with his breaking ball. I thought his breaking ball was more of a weapon today than what wed seen in the past." The Blue Jays (38-24) left the bases loaded in the bottom of the first and stranded two in the second. But they tied it 1-1 in the third when Bautista led off with a homer, a high drive to left on a 2-1 fastball. Lawrie lined his 11th homer of the season to centre on a 2-1 fastball with two out in the fifth to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. Bautista hit into a triple play in the sixth inning on a liner to second baseman Descalso. The Blue Jays loaded the bases against right-handed reliever Seth Maness with singles from Anthony Gose and Jose Reyes and Carpenters error on a grounder to third by Melky Cabrera. Bautista lined a 2-0 sinker to Descalso who threw to shortstop Jhonny Peralta who caught Reyes off second. Peralta then threw to Craig who stepped on first before Cabrera could return to the base. "I did everything I could," Bautista said. "I laid off two bad pitches, swung at the one in the zone, hit it hard and it went right at somebody." The Blue Jays scored a run in the eighth. Lawrie and Navarro singled against right-hander Jason Motte to put runners at first and third. Reyes singled to right to cash in Lawrie and send pinch-runner Kevin Pillar to third.

Its just a matter of when. The Alberta skip was hoarse by the second day of the Canadian womens curling championship. She expected to be croaking out sweeping calls soon. A skips voice takes a beating over the course of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Its not just 20 ends or more a day of calling sweepers on and off the stones that strains their voice boxes. They use tone and volume to communicate the urgency of the situation. Their vocal chords compete with skips yelling on other ice sheets and also with bursts of applause and ringing bells from spectators. The skips often sound raspy in post-game interviews. Some larynges hold up better than others. Nedohins larynx does not. "Because Im ridiculous when I scream and I do it too much," she confesses. "I overdo it." Curling lore includes instances of skips trying to work around their voices giving out. When Russ Howard lost his voice at the 1989 Brier, he tried using radio communication devices with his teammates, but the Canadian Curling Association wouldnt allow it. Ontario skip Bryan Cochrane was given permission by the CCA to use a whistle at the 2003 Brier because he had a pre-existing vocal chord disorder. Skips often combine hand signals with verbal instruction, and those signals are a backup if their voice quits. "We play in a lot of curling rinks throughout the cashspiel season and they are loud and echo and are noisy, so we do have a lot of hand signals that we use," B.C.s Kelly Scott said. "Even in an arena, you cant shout over the cheering and applauding at times. "We do default back to some hand signals. The sweepers always know to look up and keep checking." How the skips feel about whats happening on the ice is projected to both their teammates and the spectators via their voices. Nedohin wears her emotions on her sleeve and in her voice. Her shouts are the loudest and highest on the musical scale with Marie-France Larouche of Quebec a close second. "All week, I scream and sometimes its a little bit higher or a little bit lower," Larouche says.

Manitoba skip Jennifer Jones says her voice doesnt give out at a provincial or national championship unless she has a cold. Her yell is lower in timbre and more of a loud growl. "I try not to be high-pitched," she explained. "I try to be low so its different from everybody else, so we dont have to yell as loud. Its just a different tone." Heather Strong isnt a bellower, but the Newfoundland and Labrador skip says her voice cracks in the arid Alberta air. But she believes increasing volume increases her sweepers efforts. "The louder you yell, arguably, the harder people sweep, or you like to think so," Strong said. "If Im yelling, the louder I get, the closer (the stone) is to crashing on the guards." Amber Holland, skip of the defending champions, is one of the quietest in the field. "Im not one of those skips that screams a lot," Holland says. "The only time I do when its a really tense moment, key shot, tight to the guard, that kind of stuff, thats when I probably yell the most. I just dont want to hear myself yell." The curlers try to preserve their voices by drinking water, chewing gum and sucking on throat lozenges. Nedohin has a humidifier in her hotel room, although the deterioration of her voice seems inevitable. "I dont lose it enough that its not there," she said. "There seems to be a high pitch that can come out a squeak. Itll always be there. It might not be on the conversational level." Communication while the stone is in play is a crucial component of the curling. "I have said before that I think me not having a voice towards the latter end of the week hurts the team," Nedohin admitted. "I do try to preserve it, but emotions are high. I try to do more hand signals, but I am a girl with a voice."
