EDMONTON -- The Saskatchewan Roughriders are entering record-setting territory with their start this season. Kory Sheets ran for a pair of touchdowns as Saskatchewan continued to set the pace in the CFL with a 30-27 come-from-behind road victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. The Roughriders recorded their second-ever 7-1 start in franchise history with the win. The only other time they have had a 7-1 start was in 1970, a year that they finished 14-2. "I wasnt born yet," laughed 36-year-old Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin. "Thats awesome. Its great for our fans." Despite their opponents lack of success this season, Chamblin said he knew the Eskimos were going to be a challenge. "The Eskimos are very close to becoming a winning football team and we knew that we would be facing a tough opponent," he said. "We talked about being like a clock. Being slow and steady and going one second at a time, one play at a time. We did that. It came down to being steady and the last play was on us." Sheets scampered for 139 yards and easily eclipsed the 1,000 yards rushing mark for the season in the game, becoming the first player in league history to do so in his teams first eight games. "It gives you a little bit of bragging rights around the league," he said. "Your friends are going to be calling and I know the guys in the locker room are going to be messing around with me. "It was a real team victory today. The offence played well, and so did the defence and special teams. There is nothing more you can ask for that a complete team victory." Edmonton tied a dubious record of its own with their sixth-straight loss. It is only the second time in team history that the Eskimos have gone 1-7 to start a season, the last being in 1971. Edmonton has now lost its last four games by a combined score of 12 points and the frustration level is peaking. "Its tough, very frustrating," said receiver Fred Stamps, who reeled in a pair of TD passes. "We feel like were so close. Its frightening. "Its tough because were so hungry. I dont know. Were right there, were right there." Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed agreed. "With the game we played, we should have beat arguably the best team in the league," he said. "We just couldnt finish it off again." Edmonton got on the board on its first possession, as newcomer Hugh ONeill kicked a 46-yard field goal. The Riders responded on their first drive with a 27-yard field goal by Chris Milo to make it 3-3, a score that stood up to the end of the first quarter. Milo opened up the second frame with a 36-yard field goal to put Saskatchewan up 6-3. The Eskimos recorded the games first touchdown three minutes into the second quarter as quarterback Mike Reilly spotted Stamps wide open in the end zone for a 33-yard score. Stamps also recorded two major milestones in the game, moving into fourth on Edmontons all-time receptions list and into fifth for team receiving yards. The Eskimos defence continued to come up big in the first half to keep Saskatchewan from crossing the goal-line, but Milo was able to add a pair of late field goals to edge his team into a 12-10 lead at the midmark. The Riders added to their lead in broken record fashion to start the third quarter as Milo had his fifth field goal of the game to put Saskatchewan up 15-10. Edmonton regained the lead just past the mid-point of the third quarter as Reilly found Stamps for his second TD reception of the day as the veteran receiver slid to make a 21-yard catch in the end zone to put the Eskimos up 17-15. Saskatchewan bounced back with three minutes to play in the third as Sheets propelled his team down the field with a couple of big gains before making the Edmonton defence look hapless as he slipped past three tacklers for a 10-yard TD run to put the Roughriders up 22-17. Two minutes later the lead see-sawed back in Edmontons favour as a 41-yard passing play to Marcus Henry set up a 13-yard Reilly pass for a TD to Cary Koch to put the Eskimos back in front 24-22. It was the sixth lead change of the game, league-high for this season. Edmonton increased its lead to five points on a 42-yard field goal from ONeill with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Once again Saskatchewan jumped back in front with eight minutes to play as Sheets easily knifed through the Eskimos defence for an 18-yard touchdown and a 29-27 Riders lead. Edmonton looked like it was going to retake the lead after a huge 35-yard catch by Koch took the Eskimos to the two-yard line with six minutes to play. However, backup Kerry Joseph bobbled a snap to put them back to the five and then Reilly was picked off in the end zone by Dwight Anderson. Saskatchewan ended up with a punt single from the turnover to lead 30-27. "We just kept in the game and kept in the moment," Anderson said. "We just didnt get flustered. We just knew that we needed to keep going out there and come up with a big play to give our offence a chance to win it." With just over a minute to play, the Esks were mounting one final drive. However, Reilly was crushed for a sack and fumbled the ball, with Rider Ricky Foley recovering to give Saskatchewan the ball at the Edmonton 54 and allowing them to run down the clock.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Kevin Kiermaiers youthful exuberance is becoming a major asset for the Tampa Bay Rays. The rookie had three hits and drove three runs Saturday, helping right-hander Jake Odorizzi beat the struggling Toronto Blue Jays 10-3. Matt Joyce also drove in three runs and Ben Zobrist had two RBIs. But it was Kiermaier who set the tone for a big day offensively, leading off the bottom of the first by stretching what should have been a routine single into a double. The speedy outfielder tagged up and hustled to third when Zobrists flied to centre field, then scored on Joyces sacrifice fly for a quick 1-0 lead. The same type of aggressiveness of defence contributed to the 24-year-old playing Colby Rasmus sinking hit into a triple in the second inning, setting up Torontos first run. Still, Rays manager Joe Maddon likes what he called Kiermaiers "hair on fire" style. "Youve got to take the bad with the good sometimes," Maddon said. "The way he started that game, it set a tone for us," the manager added. "Thats the kind of baseball I like to see us play. Thats the kind of baseball thats made us successful. The more people we get to buy into that plan, the better off were going to be." Kiermaier appreciated the managers support. "My thing is I want people to see the way I play and maybe come off contagious a little bit," Kiermaier said. "I guess you can call it my hair on fire, but its the only way I know -- 100 per cent, all out," he added after boosting his batting average to .310 with eight homers and 24 RBIs in 47 games. "I look like an idiot sometimes, but for the most part I try to be under control with everything and know when to push the limit and when not to." Pitching a day earlier than scheduled because All-Star David Price was ill, Odorizzi (5-8) allowed three runs and six hits over 6 2-3 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander walked two and struck out seven to improve to 3-1 over his last five starts. Kiermaier, Zobrist and Joyce -- the 1-2-3 hitters in the Rays lineup -- combined to drive in five runs during a six-run sixth inning. Pinch hitter Cole Figueroa drove in the first run of the inning, drawing a bases-loaded walk from Drew Hutchison (6-8) to snap a 2-2 tie. The loss was the seventh in nine games for the second-place Blue Jays, who remained three games behind division-leading Baltimore in the AL East. Despite its recent struggles, Torontos 49 wins are the most the Blue Jays have had before the All-Star break since 2006.dddddddddddd. A win Sunday would give them their first road series victory over Tampa Bay since April 2007, as well as 50 wins before the break for the first time since 1992. "It was a good ball game until it imploded on us," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. The Rays stopped a four-game losing streak against their division rivals, winning for just the third time in nine tries against Toronto this season. Hutchison beat Tampa Bay 4-2 on April 1 at Tropicana Field and 10-5 in Toronto on May 26, despite not pitching six innings in either outing. He didnt make it through the middle innings against them this time, either, running into trouble when the Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth on a single and two walks. The Blue Jays starter fanned Jose Molina, but watched the go-ahead run cross the plate when Figueroa walked after fouling off three pitches on a full count. "I faced five guys in that inning, got ahead of all of them, but I walked three and gave up a two-strike hit. Thats just not going to get the job done," Hutchison said. "Its embarrassing, and thats about all there is to say about it." J.A. Happ replaced Hutchison, but couldnt shut down the rally. Kiermaier, Zobrist and Joyce hit consecutive ground ball singles through the left side of the Toronto infield, building Odorizzis lead to 8-2. Hutchison was charged with six runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked five and struck out seven. Rasmus scored on Juan Franciscos second-inning sacrifice fly for Toronto. Dioner Navarro had an RBI single in the fourth and Anthony Gose added a run-scoring single in the seventh for the Blue Jays. NOTES: Maddon said Price will start Sundays season finale against R.A.

Tampa Bay CF Desmond Jennings (bruised left knee) and C Ryan Hanigan (soreness left side) were held out of the lineup, though Maddon said both were able to play in case of an emergency. ...
