ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Adam Lind homered during a four-hit night, and most of the talk after the game was about his role in a controversial play in the field. Lind backed Brandon Morrow with a two-run shot in the first inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Wednesday. Lind went 4 for 4 and is batting .438 with five homers and 16 RBIs in his last 12 games. But he also was right in the middle of a play at first base that led to one of three ejections -- two in the bottom of the seventh alone. Blue Jays manager John Farrell was thrown out by plate umpire Chad Fairchild during a pitching change when he removed Morrow. Farrells counterpart, Joe Maddon, was tossed by Joe West after the umpires got together and reversed Wests safe call on a tag play by Lind on Sam Fuld, completing an inning-ending double play. Lind was pulled off the bag by Edwin Encarnacions throw after the third baseman recorded a forceout. West said he had the worst angle on the play, and consulted the other crew members, including second base umpire Angel Hernandez. West didnt see Lind make the tag, but Hernandez said the first baseman did. "All I asked Angel was did he tag him, and Angel told me I thought you had him safe for being on the bag," West said. "I didnt heed that warning. Angel also had the guy on the bag. I made the judgment based on what I had at first base. So it appears that we may have erred, but we did everything protocol right by the book. I dont know what else we could have done." Lind said there is no question he tagged Fuld, but wasnt sure if the Rays left-fielder had reached the bag first. "He might have been on the base. I was arguing the fact that I tagged him," Lind said. "Joe said I didnt (tag him)." Maddon took issue with the call being changed in that fashion. "I have a hard time with that call being changed from that distance," Maddon said. "If theres any particular play that screams for instant replay, its that one. I just dont understand how you can make that call from that distance. I dont believe you can see it properly. If youre going to start changing calls from that distance, include instant replay. Then I wouldnt say a word." Farrell said he was not argumentative when he inquired about the location of a two-strike pitch called a ball during an at-bat that ended with John Jaso -- Morrows last batter of the game -- getting a single. "He said Are you arguing balls and strikes?" Farrell said. "I said No. I thought there was a differing opinion based on the reactions (of the pitcher and catcher). At that point he said Youre gone. It caught me by surprise." Morrow (1-1) allowed one run and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. He struck out seven and walked four. Frank Francisco yielded Fulds RBI single in the ninth before finishing for his first save. Tampa Bay centre-fielder B.J. Upton was ejected by Fairchild after striking out for the fourth time leading off the ninth. Upton slammed his bat and helmet to the ground, and had to be restrained by third base coach Tom Foley. Upton also threw several other items, including his arm guards, toward the plate area while heading toward the dugout. "I just kind of lost it," Upton said. "Obviously, you could tell I didnt like the call. It is what it is. Its done with now." Tampa Bay starter Jeff Niemann (1-4) left after four innings with back tightness. The right-hander gave up three runs and six hits during a 62-pitch outing. Since returning from a strained right shoulder last August, Niemann has allowed 56 earned runs over 63 2-3 innings in 13 starts. The Blue Jays could get slugger Jose Bautista and second baseman Aaron Hill back Sunday. Bautista rested for the second consecutive game because of neck spasms, but may be ready to swing a bat on Friday. Hill, on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring, played in an extended spring training game Wednesday. David Cooper doubled in a run in the fourth for Toronto, but Matt Joyce cut the deficit to 3-1 with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. He has seven RBIs in his past six games. Upton struck out in all three at-bats against Morrow. He has one hit in 13 at-bats -- including nine strikeouts -- overall against the Blue Jays starter. Upton hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning of the Rays 3-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday night. Fulds two-out single in the ninth got the Rays within one, but Francisco got Ben Zobrist to ground out with runners on the corners to end the game. NOTES: The Rays will wear Navy SEAL Team 6 T-shirts as the theme for a road trip that starts Friday. The team wants to honour the naval unit that killed Osama bin Laden. "Tribute to their teamwork that enabled them to carry out their mission," Maddon said. "Its really picked everybody up. Everybodys got that good feeling about themselves right now." ... Blue Jays LHP Ricky Romero was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to a mild left oblique strain. He could pitch on Saturday. Tony Kukoc Bulls Jersey . -- Derek Morris and his Phoenix Coyotes teammates have their offence going strong and are piling up victories. Joakim Noah Jersey . The England striker flicked home a close-range header following a fourth-minute corner to maintain his red-hot form and his sides perfect start to the season. Liverpool has won all three of its games 1-0 and Sturridge is providing the cutting edge in the continued absence of suspended Luis Suarez. http://www.basketballbullsshop.com/Bulls-Etwaun-Moore-Authen tic-Jersey/ . -- The Chicago Bears insisted all along that quarterback Jay Cutler would get his job back once he was ready, no matter how well Josh McCown was playing. Dennis Rodman Bulls Jersey . Manager David Moyes had previously indicated he wanted Vidic to stay, but the 32-year-old Serbian defender on Friday announced plans to leave when his contract expires. Michael Jordan Jersey . At least there was music. The Chicago Cubs blew another late lead Tuesday night, but found a way to recover. Carlos Marmol gave up the tying run in the ninth before Darwin Barney bailed him out with a homer in the 10th inning for a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.WASHINGTON -- Chris Kunitz scored the winner at 2:36 of the third period, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat Washington 2-1 Thursday night to keep the Capitals winless under new coach Dale Hunter. Craig Adams also scored for the Penguins, who improved to 4-1-1 since captain Sidney Crosby returned to the lineup following an 11-month absence with a concussion. Jason Chimera got his team-leading 10th goal for the Capitals, who were 11-0-2 against their bitter rivals in the regular season since March 8, 2009. Tomas Vokoun stopped 33 shots, but the Capitals couldnt back his effort with any firepower on the other end of the ice. The Capitals took only 17 shots against Marc-Andre Fleury in their second straight 2-1 loss since Hunter, a former Capitals star, replaced the fired Bruce Boudreau on Monday. Crosby was held without a point for only the second time in six games since his return. He received his concussion by taking two blows to the head last January, the first of which came against the Capitals on New Years Day in the Winter Classic. Since coming back, the standout centre has two goals and nine assists. Crosbys lengthy absence, along with the ineffectiveness this season of Washingtons Alex Oveechkin, has dimmed one of the NHLs most notable individual duels.ddddddddddddOvechkin was also held without a point, and he has only one goal in his last 10 games. Kunitz got the game-winner by skating around a check by John Erskine and firing a wrist shot that bounced off Vokoun and bounded into the net. Washington has lost four straight and seven of nine. The Penguins took a 1-0 lead at 5:21 of the first period when Arron Asham gained control of the puck behind the net, skated out and sent a pass across the slot to Adams, who scored from the left side. Six seconds later, Asham and Erskine dropped their gloves and got into an old-fashioned hockey fight. Both landed several good blows before tumbling to the ice. The Penguins outshot the Capitals 13-4 in the opening 20 minutes. Crosby had two shots, and 11 of his teammates had one apiece. Washington pulled even at 1:20 of the second period when Chimera lifted an up-close backhander over Fleurys left shoulder. NOTES: Pittsburgh recalled D Simon Despres from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, and in his NHL debut, the 20-year-old Despres got the second assist on Kunitzs goal. ... Chimeras 10 goals match his output of last season. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys Mamadou Tounkara Jersey ' ' '
