CLEVELAND -- Munenori Kawasaki delivered the hit that Toronto had been waiting for. His two-run single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning sparked a three-run rally and the Blue Jays hung on for a 5-4 win Wednesday night. Kawasaki, who broke an 0-for-18 slump, lined a 1-2 pitch from Joe Smith into left-centre field to score two runs and break a 3-all tie. A third run scored when centre fielder Michael Bourn booted the ball for an error. The Blue Jays nearly gave it away in the bottom of the inning. Closer Casey Janssen, who had converted 17 of 18 save chances, gave up Asdrubal Cabreras RBI single that cut the lead to two. Kawasakis throwing error made it a one-run game but Steve Delabar retired Michael Brantley on a fly ball for his first career save. "Great ballgame, it really was," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "The guys battle, like they always do." Colby Rasmus drew a one-out walk off Rich Hill (0-1). After Maicer Izturis flied out, J.P. Arencibia was announced to bat for Josh Thole. Smith relieved Hill but Arencibia singled and Emilio Bonifacio walked to load the bases. Kawasaki fell behind in the count but came up with the clutch hit Torontos struggling offence has needed. "They were able to make the chance for the RBI opportunity," Kawasaki said through a translator. "I just tried to connect." Neil Wagner (2-3) struck out Ryan Raburn with the bases loaded to end the eighth after the Indians tied the game. Casey Janssen, who had recorded 17 of 18 save opportunities, allowed two runs in the ninth before Steve Delabar retired Michael Brantley on a fly ball for his first major league save. Indians starter Justin Masterson took a two-hit shutout into the seventh but Bonifacios two-run single put the Blue Jays ahead. The Indians tied the game in the eighth off All-Star reliever Brett Cecil on Brantleys RBI single. Asdrubal Cabreras two-out single and Kawasakis throwing error in the ninth cut the lead to 5-4 but Delabar recorded the final out. "We took the lead and they came back and of course it got a little hairy there at the end," Gibbons said. Smith, pitching for the fourth straight day, couldnt get the one out the Indians needed. "Smitty had faced Arencibia four times and struck him out four times," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "Thats the matchup we wanted. With Kawasaki, he just left the ball over the plate and Bourny mishandled it for the unearned run." The Blue Jays, who had been blanked in two of their last three games, struggled against Masterson. Toronto finally broke through thanks to two hits and a pair of walks. Toronto starter Esmil Rogers allowed one run in six innings. Adam Lind doubled with one out in the seventh and moved to third on a groundout. Izturis walked on four pitches before Thole walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Bonifacio, who struck out with a runner on third to end the fifth, lined a 2-1 pitch into right field to score Lind and Izturis, giving Toronto the lead. The clutch hit came on Mastersons 120th and final pitch of the night. The right-hander, a member of the American League All-Star team, allowed four hits, struck out six and walked five. The Blue Jays were shut out by four pitchers in Mondays 3-0 loss to Cleveland. Giambis RBI single gave Cleveland the lead in the second. Cleveland traded Rogers, who was making his eighth start of the season, to Toronto for infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes in November. Rogers struck out seven and held Cleveland to four hits. Masterson didnt allow a hit until Rasmus led off the fifth with a double. Masterson was coming off his shortest start of the season when he allowed six runs in 4 2-3 innings in a 7-0 loss to Detroit on Friday. He threw a six-hit shutout in his start before against the Chicago White Sox. Cabrera broke an 0-for-20 slump with a single in the first. Indians reliever Preston Guilmet made his major-leage debut in the seventh and retired both batters he faced. NOTES: RHP Danny Salazar will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to make his major league debut Thursday against Toronto. "It was a shock when they told me. I didnt know what to say," said Salazar, who began the season at Double-A Akron. Francona expects Salazar to have the normal pre-game jitters all pitchers experience before their first start. "If he has any brains at all, he probably wont sleep a wink and hell tell everybody tomorrow he did," Francona said. ... The Blue Jays are considering moving Brett Lawrie (sprained left ankle) from third base to second base when he comes off the 15-day disabled list. Lawrie played second Tuesday in a rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo. "Were gonna let him do it down there a little bit and well kind of look at it when he comes back," manager John Gibbons said. ... RHP Zach McAllister (sprained middle finger) will make a rehab start at Akron on Saturday. Francona said McAllister wont throw his curveball, which caused the injury, on Friday but will use it on his second rehab start. ... RHP R.A.

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball.Ref Watch is back to debate another selection of controversial decisions from some of the weekends football matches in England and Spain.Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher joined host Rob Wotton in the Sky Sports News HQ studio to analyse a number of contentious calls.From vital goals to offside goals, yellow cards not given to questionable penalty decisions, and even a red card for a manager through no fault of his own, we have it all covered in this weeks edition. MATCH: Liverpool v Newcastle United, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: Daniel Sturridges second-minute goal is allowed to stand despite the player looking offside.SCENARIO: A long ball is played upfield to Sturridge, who is positioned between two defenders. When he comes into shot on television pictures, the striker appears to be in an offside position - although replays show him to have come from an onside position when the ball was played. Sturridge chests the ball down, takes a touch then turns and shoots low into the bottom corner to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead, with referee Andre Marriner and his assistant Stephen Child allowing the goal to stand. An alternative angle shows Daniel Sturridge was onside ahead of his goal against Newcastle GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Its a top-drawer decision and you can see why these guys are in the Premier League. Its a close call and its their first decision of the game as well. Child has hit the ground running and its a class, class decision.MATCH: Liverpool v Newcastle United, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: Roberto Firmino scores but has his goal disallowed for offside.SCENARIO: James Milner collects the ball on the right wing, cuts inside and crosses to Joe Allen, whose header is palmed away by Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow. Firmino is waiting at the back post and after the rebound falls to him, he takes a touch with his thigh before tapping in on the line. The goal is not allowed to stand, with assistant referee Harry Lennard flagging it off. Roberto Firmino stands in an offside position on the near side before putting the ball in the net against Newcastle GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think the interesting thing here is if it goes in during the first phase of play, Harry doesnt flag. What happens though is the keeper saves it and by then Firmino is in an offside position as he follows it up. It would have been a goal initially had Allens header gone in but once it was saved, Firmino was offside. Harry has kept his focus on the player who has gone forward and disallowed it correctly.MATCH: Liverpool v Newcastle United, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: Papiss Cisse escapes a yellow card after colliding with Dejan Lovren and conceding a free kick.SCENARIO: A high ball drops with Cisse and Lovren jostling to win possession. The players come together with Cisses right arm outstretched. Lovren falls to the ground and lands on his knees with his face down and coughing, whereas Cisse goes on to contest the loose ball before play is stopped and Marriner gives a foul against him for his challenge on Lovren. No caution is issued. Dejan Lovren and Papiss Cisse come together during the first half of Liverpools game with Newcastle GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I didnt think it was an elbow. It wasnt very nice because if you see it, Cisse has looked for it and has caught him with his forearm across the throat. Its reckless and I think he should have got a yellow card. The good thing about it is the lad looked very bad at the time and was a lot better afterwards. It didnt cause the damage it could have done.MATCH: Liverpool v Newcastle United, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: Cheick Tiote trips Sturridge in the area but no penalty is given.SCENARIO: Sturridge cuts into the penalty area from the right and after a stepover, turns to his right away from Tiote and then right again before being brought down. Tiotes right knee appears to catch the England strikers right knee but referee Marriner waves play on and does not give the penalty. He also decides not to caution Sturridge for simulation. Gallagher feels Sturridge should have been given a penalty against Newcastle GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I dont know why it wasnt given because I thought it was a penalty. Sometimes you cant win the ball and this is a classic example of that. Sturridge has hidden the ball from Tiote and hes got to go through him to get it but Sturridge moved the ball away and had his legs taken from him. Its just an incident the referee didnt see as I see it - but he doesnt have the luxury of being able to see replays from different angles. It should have been a penalty.MATCH: Liverpool v Newcastle United, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: A fan watching the match blows a whistle during play.SCENARIO: With the half-time interval imminent, someone in the crowd blows a whistle in an attempt to make people believe it is signalling the end of the first half. Although the players on the pitch dont react and referee Marriner waves play on, many onlookers believe the whistle to have marked the end of play and begin applauding. After a couple of seconds, Marriner feels he has no choice but to stop play to end the confusion and restarts play with a drop ball to Newcastle, who play it back to Liverpool given they had been in possession at the time. Andre Marriner stopped play after a false half-time whistle from the crowd at Anfield GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: It has put the referee in an impossible position and he is forced to stop the game. The players are really good here - they accepted he had to stop the game and they let him drop the ball, which he had to, and they restarted as normal. Its a strange, strange incident and I dont know why people do it. Its not good. Maybe the guy wanted a half-time cup of tea a bit early but we dont want to see that.MATCH: Sunderland v Arsenal, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT: The ball strikes Per Mertesacker in the Arsenal penalty area but no penalty is given.SCENARIO: Sunderland are attacking when Jermain Defoe shoots only to have his attempt blocked by Mertesacker. The German defender turns his back on the attempt from close range and the ball hits his left arm, with Sunderlands players appealing for a foul. Referee Mike Dean dismisses their claims and no penalty is awarded. Per Mertesacker blocked Jermain Defoes shot but not illegally, according to Gallagher GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.ddddddddddddGALLAGHER SAYS: Mertesacker starts with his hands behind his back which is interesting. What you would say is Defoe has lashed his shot so hard and from so close by that Mertesacker has not got any chance of getting out of the way. Anybody who thought that was deliberate is very much mistaken. Why Mertesacker turns his back I dont know but the ball strikes him rather than him striking the ball. Watch the penalty shouts from both teams during Sunderlands 0-0 draw with Arsenal MATCH: Sunderland v Arsenal, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT: DeAndre Yedlin blocks Alex Iwobis shot in the penalty area with his arm but no foul is given.SCENARIO: Arsenal are attacking and Iwobi shoots from around 12 yards and although his attempt clears the first defender who is attempting to block it, Yedlin gets in the way and appears to make contact with the ball with his right hand before Sunderland clear. Arsenals players appeal for a penalty but again Dean chooses not to award one. DeAndre Yedlin gets in the way of Alex Iwobis shot during Sunderlands game with Arsenal GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: This is even more interesting because it cant be handball because when you look at the incident again, it actually strikes his leg first and then flies up to hit him on the arm. He has no chance of getting out of the way so again its a case of ball to hand rather than hand to ball.MATCH: Leicester City v Swansea City, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT: Riyad Mahrez scores the opening goal after an apparent handball in the build-up.SCENARIO: Swansea captain Ashley Williams attempted pass is intercepted by Mahrez, with the ball seeming to strike him on the arm. Mahrez gathers the ball and advances into the penalty area and shoots low past Lukasz Fabianski to put Leicester 1-0 ahead. Riyad Mahrez scored after the ball struck him when Ashley Williams failed to clear properly GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Initially I thought this was handball because the ball has struck Mahrez from a reasonable distance but the thing thats convinced me it hasnt hit him on the arm but on the side instead is the fact Williams - the closest player to him who played the ball - reacts first by chasing the ball. Thats really the giveaway. It must have hit him on the side under the arm because Williams would have been the first one to stop but his movement after the ball is played and the fact it goes in the net with him just carrying on tells me I was initially wrong.MATCH: Manchester City v Stoke City, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT: Ryan Shawcross concedes a penalty against Manchester City but is not booked.SCENARIO: Kelechi Iheanacho attempts to play a one-two with Yaya Toure as Manchester City attack and play their way into Stokes penalty area but as Iheanacho attempts to receive the return ball, Shawcross intentionally body-checks the Nigerian and referee Bobby Madley awards a penalty kick but elects not to caution Shawcross. Ryan Shawcross conceded a penalty against Manchester City but wasnt booked for bringing down Kelechi Iheanacho GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Wrong decision not to book Shawcross.GALLAGHER SAYS: The referee didnt see it the way we have. Its definitely a penalty and theres no question about that but it could easily have been a yellow card for reckless play and pulling him back, as weve seen many, many times. Whether the referee thinks hes just pulled him back but has been going after the ball, I dont know. If Shawcross had got a yellow card, he couldnt have complained.MATCH: Atletico Madrid v Malaga, La Liga, SaturdayINCIDENT: A ball is thrown on to the pitch during play from the Atletico Madrid bench.SCENARIO: Malaga win a throw inside their own half and take it quickly to start a fast counter attack but as midfielder Ricardo Horta runs down the left wing with lots of space to exploit, a ball is thrown onto the pitch from Atleticos dug-out. Manager Diego Simeone is standing on the touchline shouting instructions as the second ball enters the field, but as the most senior ranking official in his sides technical area, the referee sends him to the stand for the rest of the match. Diego Simeone watched much of Atletico Madrids win over Malaga from the stand after he was sent off GALLAGHERS VERDICT: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The law is quite clear. Its a case of whether what happens affects play and the referee, quite rightly, highlights that if he pulled that up, Malaga would be penalised as they are attacking. As it didnt interfere with a Malaga player, he quite rightly allowed play to continue until the move broke down before going back to deal with the issue. The interesting thing afterwards is the referee doesnt know who threw it on and the rule in Spain is if he goes to the bench to remove somebody and he doesnt know who, it has to be the most senior person there. In this case that was Simeone so he is now staring down the barrel of a three-match ban for something that he didnt do. If that ball had actually struck the match ball, it would have interfered with play completely and the Malaga attack would have broken down, with the referee forced to stop it. What was really good was the referee was aware it hadnt affected the Malaga player and he allowed him to continue until the move ended.Also See:Premier League videoFixturesTableLive on SkyGet Sky SportsGet a ￡10 free bet!
