TORONTO -- Melky Cabrera insists hes got the same swing he did a year ago. Its just the way hes feeling thats all new. Seven months after having a benign tumour removed from his spine, the Toronto Blue Jays left fielder is healthy, buoyed by an off-season workout routine with slugger Jose Bautista and ready to show the player he can be. Cabrera slammed a home run for a career-best fourth consecutive game on Tuesday as Toronto beat the Houston Astros 5-2 at Rogers Centre. "I feel 100 per cent now and Im ready to go," Cabrera said through a translator. Cabrera, signed by Toronto before last season for $16 million over two years, had missed more than 50 games due to various injuries before surgery in September to remove the tumour, which is not believed to be related to the steroid use that saw him suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball in 2012. "Im good. I dont have any pain now," said Cabrera, who had never before homered in three straight games in this his 10th season in the Majors. "I knew last year wasnt the way I was capable of playing. "Im going to continue to work hard and continue to play hard and try to help the team win games." Cabreras homer gave the Blue Jays some breathing room in the bottom of the seventh. Up 3-2, on a night where Houston continually threatened but couldnt cash in, he drilled an 0-2 slider from Astros reliever Kevin Chapman over the left-field wall to make it 5-2 and effectively end the drama. "I thought when we signed him last year he had a chance to hit some home runs here," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Cabrera, who had a career high of 18 home runs with Kansas City in 2011. "Hes not known as a home run hitter but its a perfect place for him. "Hes off to a good start. He and Jose (Bautista) keep going back and forth, a little competition there." Bautista took the club lead with his fourth home run of the season to open the scoring in the bottom of the first. Cabreras blast matched that and ended the nights scoring before 13,123 at Rogers Centre. Veteran catcher Dioner Navarro had an RBI double from each side of the plate to account for the rest of the scoring for the Blue Jays (4-4), who were outhit 9-5 on the night by the Astros (3-5). Veteran left-handed pitcher Mark Buehrle, who bent but didnt break over 5-1/3 innings, ran his record to 2-0 despite being hit hard by the Astros. "Tonight was one of those where I had to battle," said Buehrle, who gave up eight hits and an earned run before leaving up 2-1. "I was up in the zone on everything, wasnt getting ahead in the count. "Im fortunate to get away with giving up one run in 5-1/3 innings. That could have been a game where I gave up eight to 10 runs, so luckily we snuck out the win on this one." Four Toronto relievers held the Astros to one run and one hit over 3-2/3 innings as Houston had base-runners in each of the first eight innings but went 0-14 with runners in scoring position. Sergio Santos struck out the side in the ninth for his third save. Gibbons said it was obvious Buehrle "was a little bit off" so he decided to pull him even though the southpaw had only thrown 81 pitches. "But he did what he does best. He survives. He keeps you in the game and he got some big outs when he had to," Gibbons said. "I just thought in a one-run game it was time to turn it over to the bullpen, everybody was pretty rested down there."

Adidas Nmd r1 Herre Sort . PETERSBURG, Fla.COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Craig Biggio was kind of speechless after completing his pre-induction tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame.This is crazy! Biggio said Friday, sitting in the Plaque Gallery of the hall. Im kind of speechless. Its an overwhelming feeling, incredible feeling. I dont know what to say right now.Thats understandable, given its been less than a month since he was elected to the Hall of Fame. Perhaps it all hasnt quite sunk in yet.Biggio was elected Jan. 6, joining Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz, who made the 75 per cent threshold by big margins on their first tries to become the first trio of pitchers voted in together by baseball writers.Biggio received 82.7 per cent of the votes, making it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year. The wait hardly mattered.Were in, said Biggio, glancing at his smiling wife Patty. Were honoured. Last year, hey, we came really close. Hopefully, this year was going to be the year and then it was. I never looked at it as waiting three years. Were just honoured and humbled that were in.The seven-time All-Star, who played catcher, second base and the outfield, retired in 2007 with 3,060 hits, and his 668 doubles are the major league high for a right-handed batter. He also was hit by pitches 285 times, second all-time by just two to Hughie Jennings. He finished his career with 291 homers, 1,175 RBIs, 1,161 walks, 414 stolen bases and 1,844 runs. Biggio also is the only player in major league history with 600 doubles, 250 homers, 3,000 hits and 400 steals.He takes pride in playing his entire career with one organization — the Houston Astros. He competed longer than any other player in franchise history, donning the uniform for 20 seasons. Hell be the first player in franchise history to be induucted when he formally enters the Hall of Fame on July 26.ddddddddddddIt means a lot to me, he said of the Astros cap on his plaque. Im wearing it for every guy in the Astros organization. This is for all of us.A native of Kings Park on New Yorks Long Island, Biggio said he visited the Hall of Fame as a kid with his family but didnt remember much. Rest assured he wont forget this trip.Downstairs where the Hall of Fame stores thousands of artifacts that arent on display, he picked up a bat Babe Ruth used in his heyday in the 1920s, marveling, Ive got to pick that thing up again.After gazing at a box of balls signed by former New York Yankees slugger Mickey Mantle, he said joking, Can you take this out to my car?Its like stepping back in the past, Biggio said. I just wanted to take it all in and appreciate everything.Biggio is one of just 11 players in big-league history with at least 3,000 career hits and 1,800 career runs scored. Eight of the other 10 are in the Hall of Fame: Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Tris Speaker, Carl Yastrzemski, Eddie Collins, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson. The other two on that list are recently retired Yankees star Derek Jeter, whos not yet eligible for the Hall of Fame, and all-time hits leader Pete Rose, whos serving a lifetime ban from baseball.When he entered the Plaque Gallery at tours end, Biggio made sure to look at plaques of several of his heroes — from Yogi Berra, who scouted Biggio when he starred at Seton Hall in New Jersey, to fellow Long Islander Yastrzemski, to Jennings, and the late Cubs great Ernie Banks, who died last week.I was just a little kid from Long Island, Biggio said. Now, Im sitting in a chair that says Hall of Fame. Amazing.___Follow Kekis on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/Greek1947 ' ' '
