The Toronto Blue Jays go after their 10th straight win tonight when they kick off a four-game series versus the Kansas City Royals. Toronto has relied on the home run for the better part of its winning streak, but on Wednesday found a new way to win, as Anthony Goses ninth-inning bunt proved to be the game-winner as the Blue Jays defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-2, to complete the series sweep. Dioner Navarro led off the bottom of the ninth with a single to right and was replaced by pinch-runner Kevin Pillar. Gose then laid down a bunt toward the first-base line. Pitcher Juan Carlos Oviedo (1-1) picked up the ball and whipped it wide right of first baseman James Loney. Pillar hustled from first and dove headfirst at home plate to elude the tag of catcher Roman Solis as the Blue Jays notched their third straight series sweep. "Its a pretty exciting win all around for the team," said Gose. Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs and Jose Reyes supplied three hits for Toronto while Aaron Loup (2-1) earned the win after pitching a scoreless top of the ninth. Starter Liam Hendriks gave up two runs on three hits with five strikeouts in six innings of work. The Blue Jays, who won 11 games in a row last June, have won 14 of their past 16 games and 19 of 24 overall. They are also just one win shy of the franchise mark for a single month, which was set at 21 in May 2003. Toronto may stay in the win column on Thursday, as it hands the ball to former National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, who had his best outing of the season on Saturday. Dickey won for the fourth time in his last five decisions, as he beat Oakland, holding the As to a pair of runs and five hits in 8 1/3 innings. He is now 5-4 on the year with a 3.95 ERA. Dickey has faced the Royals 12 times (6 starts) and is 3-3 against them with a 4.33 ERA. Kansas City, meanwhile, will counter with an impressive veteran of its own in righty James Shields, who is 6-3 with a 2.95 ERA. Shields has won six of his last seven decisions, but did not receive one on Saturday in Anaheim, as the Angels reached him for four runs in six innings of his teams 7-4 win. Shields is 12-6 lifetime versus the Blue Jays with a 3.09 ERA in 23 starts. Hes been dominant lately against them, though, posting a 6-1 mark over his last eight matchups with a 1.13 ERA - the lowest among pitchers with at least five starts against the Blue Jays since the start of 2011. Kansas City enters this tilt on a bit of a sour note, as it has dropped four in a row after getting swept in a three-game set by the Houston Astros. The Royals were outscored 21-5 in the series with the Astros and lost, 9-3, on Wednesday. "Right now we are not doing our job at the plate, but we will get better," said Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson. The Royals took two of three from the Jays earlier this season.

The Canucks expect to face former franchise goaltender Roberto Luongo on Thursday when they welcome the Florida Panthers to Rogers Arena. Luongo is returning to Vancouver for the first time since his successful but tumultuous run with the Canucks ended with him being dealt to Florida on March 4 of last season. The former Canucks captain spent seven-plus seasons in Vancouver, anchoring the team to consecutive Presidents Trophies (2010-11, 2011-12) and also helping the Canucks get to within one victory of a Stanley Cup title in 2011 against the Boston Bruins. Luongo also is Vancouvers all-time leader in wins (233) and shutouts (35). His goals against average of 2.36 is second in the club annals to only Cory Schneider (2.20), who challenged Luongo for the No. 1 job with the Canucks before getting dealt to New Jersey in the summer of 2013. To be honest, Im just looking forward to being (in Vancouver) for four days and obviously ending it with a game in front of the crowd there, Luongo recently told the media. Im not quite sure what type of reception Im going to get, but Ill definitely enjoy the game thats for sure. Luongo expects to face off tonight against Ryan Miller, who signed with Vancouver in the offseason. Both goaltenders are doing well in 2014-15, with Luongo sporting a 15-7-7 record, 2.28 goals against average and .924 save percentage, while Miller is 20-8-1 with a 2.46 GAA and .913 save percentage in his first season with the Canucks. Eddie Lack, Luongos former backup and Millers current No. 2, helped the Canucks to a win the last time out. Lack made 21 saves in Vancouvers 3-2 victory over the visiting New York Islanders on Tuesday. Linden Vey tallied the eventual game-winner late in the second period, scoring on a breakaway with 2:34 left in the middle stanza. Youve always got to be ready, said Vey of making the most of his opportunities. Ryan Stanton and Nick Bonino also lit the lamp for the Canucks, who own a 5-1-1 record over their last seven games and are tied with San Jose for second place in the Pacific Division. Vancouverr will shoot for its first three-game winning streak since Nov.dddddddddddd 23-28 when it takes on the Panthers. Vancouver owns an 11-6-1 record on home ice and is playing the fourth part of a five-game homestand tonight. Florida is just three points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but the Panthers havent helped their cause recently, going 1-2-1 over their last four games. The Panthers fell to 1-1-0 on a six-game road trip after dropping Sundays 4-3 decision in Washington. Alex Ovechkin notched a goal and an assist to help the Capitals deal Florida a regulation loss. Floridas Nick Bjugstad made it a one-goal game with 1:59 to play in regulation, but Florida was unable to tie it. Dylan Olsen and Vincent Trocheck also scored for the Panthers. We werent good enough, but we battled back and found a way to come closer at the end, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. We cant wait until the end of the game to get involved physically. Luongo gave up three goals on 21 shots over the first 40 minutes, but was replaced by Al Montoya, who turned aside 4-of-5 shots fired his way during the final stanza. Luongo took a hit from Ovechkin in the first period and gutted out the second before the injury caused him to exit the game for precautionary reasons. The Panthers dodged a bullet with the Luongo injury and they also could get a handful of skaters back for tonights test. Forwards Tomas Kopecky and Tomas Fleischmann and defenseman Erik Gudbranson practiced on Tuesday and all three players could be back in the lineup tonight. Kopecky missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury. Fleischmann (undisclosed) and Gudbranson (upper body) sat out the last two outings. Vancouver forwards Brad Richardson (knee) and Radim Vrbata (illness) are questionable for tonight. The Panthers have won two of the last three meetings against Vancouver, but the Canucks have dominated this series over the years. Vancouver boasts a 12-3-2 record with five ties over the last 22 meetings against Florida. Florida only has managed two all-time road wins over the Canucks, but the Panthers were able to halt an 11-game winless stretch in Vancouver with a 3-2 shootout win at Rogers Arena on Nov. 19, 2013.
