TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle has no explanation for the best start of his 15-year career, which sees him with a Major League-leading seven wins in the seasons first eight starts. "You dont ask too many questions," Buehrle said Monday after gutting it out through six-plus innings as the Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 at the Rogers Centre. "You just go with it. "I dont feel like Im pitching different. I havent changed anything. (I have) no answer for it." The 35-year-old Buehrle said he struggled "big time" Monday, surrendering six hits and walking five. But he limited the Angels to a pair of runs even though he had base runners in each of his final five innings. "I figured it out. Walk enough guys, theyre not all going to score," quipped Buehrle, who ran his record to 7-1 before 13,603 at Rogers Centre. Its the first time hes won seven of the first eight starts in a season. "I just felt like I was not getting ahead in the count. Guys were making plays behind me," he said. "It didnt feel like it was an easy game. Obviously, the five walks shows that." Jose Bautista with a three-run home run in the first and Brett Lawrie with a two-run shot in the sixth gave Buehrle all the offence he needed. Each of the round-trippers found the second deck as the Blue Jays (19-20) ended a three-game losing streak and salvaged the finale of the four-game series against L.A. Bautistas blast, his 178th as a Blue Jay, moved him to within one of Jesse Barfield for fifth all-time on the clubs home run list. Lawrie, returning to the line-up after missing six games with a sore right hamstring, pounded the first pitch he saw from Angels (19-18) starter C.J. Wilson (4-3) in the sixth inning for his seventh home run of the season. The blast widened the Blue Jays lead to 5-2 after L.A.s Mike Trout with a two-run, two-out double in the third to get the visitors to within a run. "A lot of good things happened tonight," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, pointing to the Buehrle start, key home runs, solid performance by reliever Steve Delabar to quell an Angels rally in the seventh. He also welcomed back Casey Janssen, making his first appearance of the season after returning from a stint on the disabled list with a back injury. The right-hander worked a hitless ninth, yielding a walk. Gibbons said one of the keys for Buehrle this season is that hes surrendered just one home run, compared to 11 at this point a season ago. Hes also come out of spring training feeling better. It was Buehrles 437th consecutive start without a stint on the disabled list, the longest active streak in the Majors. "Hes old reliable," Gibbons said. "He goes out there and you know what youre going to get. "Hes going to get hit around every now and then like they all do but hes used to winning. Hes had a great career and hes one of those guys who knows how to survive." Lawrie said of his home run that he "was just trying to extend the inning and stepped into one." Centrefielder Colby Rasmus came out of the game after the sixth inning with tightness in his right hamstring. While Gibbons said he might need to look at putting him on the disabled list as its the second time its flared up in a week, Rasmus insisted after the game he was day-to-day.

For now, scoring in spurts seems to be working just fine.The Bruins scored three goals in a span of 2:34 on Thursday night and rode the third-period flurry to a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers that extended Bostons winning streak to four games.Those games arent always perfect, but you like the way your team responds to different situations, coach Claude Julien said. Were down 2-1, instead of panicking we just picked up our game and put our foot on the gas pedal and found a way to get some goals here.A pair of Edmonton penalties helped, and Boston improved to 5-1 since losing captain Zdeno Chara to a knee injury. The Bruins are still adjusting to playing without the big defenceman — and winning while doing it.It took barely 2 1/2 minutes for the Bruins to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Louie Eriksson tied it at 2, Carl Soderberg gave Boston the lead 1:25 later and Dougie Hamilton scored just 1:09 after Soderberg.We didnt play a really good game, but as soon as we got that goal we started to get going and I think finished off pretty strong, said Soderberg, who assisted on Erikssons goal with 8:56 left in the third.Soderberg was initially credited with the next two goals, but officials reviewed the video and concluded that Hamiltons slap shot from the point was not deflected in by Soderberg. With a 4-2 lead at that point, the Bruins didnt care much about who got the goal.It doesnt matter. Im just happy it went in the net, Hamilton said. I didnt really look at the goalie..dddddddddddd I knew Carl was in front and I just tried to shoot low. Wherever it went, it went. I didnt even see it go in.Boston won its 13th in a row against the Oilers, who have not beaten the Bruins since Oct. 17, 2000.Tuukka Rask finished with 24 saves for Boston, which also got goals from Reilly Smith and Milan Lucic.Ben Scrivens made 27 saves for Edmonton, which lost its fourth consecutive game.Boyd Gordon scored in the first period and Mark Arcobello deposited a rebound 1:44 into the third to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead.Hamilton and Soderberg assisted on Erikssons goal that tied it, then Soderberg put Boston ahead 1:25 later with a power-play goal off a centring pass from Patrice Bergeron.Bergeron made the pass while being taken down by Edmontons Nikita Nikitin, who was called for tripping on the play. Boston capitalized on the power play again when Hamilton scored with 6:22 remaining.We had a critical mistake off the rush, Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. A bad decision, one that cost us and led to the next one as well. Thats a hard one to frame. It goes to the mindset that every moment is critical.Lucic, playing his 500th career game, added an empty-netter with 7 seconds left.Smith scored late in the first to tie it 1-all.NOTES: The teams combined for only 13 shots in the first period. ...
