Kirk and Clase lead Blue Jays past Cardinals 5-4 in 10 innings
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alejandro Kirk homered and had four hits, including a go-ahead double in the 10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied last in a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Kirk opened the 10th with a double off Phil Maton (0-2) to score automatic runner Addison Barger from second base. Jeff Hoffman then pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 16th save in 19 opportunities, helping the Blue Jays (36-30) win for the 10th time in 12 games. After blowing a three-run lead in the eighth, Toronto tied it at 4 in the ninth when No. 9 batter Jonatan Clase hit his first home run this year and the second of his career — a one-out shot off Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley. Kirk launched his fourth home run, a solo shot, on a full-count pitch from reliever Riley O'Brien for a 3-0 lead in the eighth. But in the bottom half, Willson Contreras doubled home the first St. Louis run and Iván Herrera hit a three-run homer off Yariel Rodríguez (1-0) to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead. Rodríguez, who entered with two on and two outs in a 3-0 game, had allowed just one of 13 inherited runners to score this season. Blue Jays starter José Berríos allowed two hits in 6 2/3 shutout innings. Toronto used George Springer's run-scoring double in the first and Bo Bichette's RBI single in the second to grab a 2-0 lead against starter Andres Pallente, who permitted seven hits in six innings. Key moment Berríos' exit in the seventh energized the Cardinals before Clase and Kirk came through late for the Blue Jays. Key stat The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 15-14. They won all three games against the Cardinals last season in Toronto. Up next Toronto RHP Chris Bassitt (6-3, 3.56 ERA) starts Tuesday against Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.96). ___ AP MLB:

Rays beat Red Sox 10-8 in 11 innings, spoil top prospect Roman Anthony's MLB debut
By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer Jake Mangum had four hits, and Junior Caminero drew a bases-loaded walk in the 11th inning on Monday night as the Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of Boston mistakes to win 10-8 and spoil the debut of top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony. Tampa loaded the bases off Zack Kelly in the 11th and Caminero took a 3-2 pitch for a walk. Mangum followed with a chopper to the right side that was fielded by first baseman Romy Gonzalez, but his throw to Kelly (1-3) was awkward and late. Ian Seymour pitched two innings in his major league debut for the victory as Tampa won for the sixth time in seven games. Anthony was hitless in four at-bats, with one walk and an RBI groundout in the ninth that cut the deficit to 7-6. Kristian Campbell followed by hitting a high chopper over the mound and beating the throw to first for a game-tying single. Anthony also let a single roll under his glove in right field for an error that led to an unearned run in the fifth - one of two official errors to go with a run-scoring wild pitch, a hit batsman and a botched infield fly. Anthony was due to lead off the bottom half of the 11th, but Rob Refsnyder pinch hit for him and walked. With two on and two out, Gonzalez took a 3-2 pitch for a third strike and was ejected for arguing the call; the Red Sox had no other batters to replace him. No matter, Ceddanne Rafaela lined the next pitch to short for the third out. Key moment Taylor Walls hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give Tampa an 8-7 lead. Boston tied it in the bottom half when first baseman Jonathan Aranda dropper a grounder that would have been the final out, then threw wide of Seymour for a second error, this one allowing the tying run to score. Key stat Anthony's line was 0 for 4 with one RBI, one walk, one strikeout and one fielding error. Up next Tampa RHP Ryan Pepiot (3-5) faces Boston RHP Lucas Giolito on Tuesday in the second of three games in the series.

Florida Panthers crush Edmonton Oilers 6-1 in Game 3 blowout to take Stanley Cup Final lead
The Florida Panthers overwhelmed the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-1 rout Monday night, reclaiming control of the Stanley Cup Final and taking a 2-1 series lead with Game 4 set for Thursday in Sunrise. Unlike the nail-biters that defined the first two games of the series, Florida set the tone immediately and never let up. Brad Marchand opened the scoring just 56 seconds into regulation — the fastest goal by a Panther in Stanley Cup Final history — igniting a relentless offensive performance at Amerant Bank Arena. The Panthers' depth was on full display, with goals from Marchand, Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Evan Rodrigues. Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky turned in a sharp performance, stopping 31 of 32 shots and shutting down Edmonton at even strength. Edmonton's lone response came early in the second period with a power-play goal from Corey Perry, cutting Florida's lead to 2-1. But the Panthers stormed back, netting four unanswered goals and forcing the Oilers to pull goaltender Stuart Skinner after he allowed five goals on 23 shots. Tensions boiled over in the third, when a cross-check by Edmonton's Trent Frederic on Bennett sparked a full-scale melee. Florida's Jonah Gadjovich and Edmonton's Darnell Nurse headlined the ensuing fight, part of a sequence that saw six players ejected. Another Oiler, Evander Kane, was tossed later for slashing Verhaeghe while he was down. Marchand's goal marked his eighth of the playoffs and his fourth of the series. At 37, he became the oldest player in NHL history to score in each of the first three games of a Stanley Cup Final, breaking a 52-year-old record held by Frank Mahovlich. Florida's offensive barrage included two power-play goals in the third period — one from Ekblad and another from Rodrigues — solidifying the blowout and putting the Panthers just two wins away from their first championship.
