DeRosa hits 3-run HR, Blue Jays beat Mariners 10-2

TORONTO — For a Blue Jays team that hasn’t had much to smile about this season, this was the laugher they’ve long been waiting for.

Mark DeRosa hit a three-run homer, Melky Cabrera added a solo shot and Toronto snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Seattle Mariners 10-2 on Sunday.

“We were desperate for that. We needed something like that,” manager John Gibbons said. “It’s not like we’re just waiting to get on a roll. We needed a win and they’re hard to come by.”

Ackley hits grand slam, Mariners top Blue Jays 8-1

TORONTO — From the start, it was another rugged outing for R.A. Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays.

The reigning NL Cy Young winner gave up a home run on his second pitch and was later booed off the mound. Dustin Ackley hit his first career grand slam and Michael Saunders homered twice as the Seattle Mariners romped 8-1 Saturday.

“We’re somewhat of a dysfunctional team right now,” Dickey said. “We’re kind of searching for a way to score runs, a way to pitch well. We’re doing a lot of things poorly, myself included.”

Miami Heat wins 22nd straight game

TORONTO — Back where their winning streak started on Super Bowl Sunday, the Miami Heat kept rolling right into March Madness.

Now it’s on to Boston to face the rival Celtics — the team who ended the last streak this long.

The Heat equaled the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, pulling away in the fourth quarter Sunday to beat the Toronto Raptors 108-91 for their 22nd consecutive victory.

“It’s a special ride right now that we’re on,” LeBron James said. “The best thing about it is we’re doing it together.”
