TORONTO -- Twins manager Paul Molitor would prefer his team play aggressively rather than worrying about making mistakes.That assertive attitude didnt pay off Saturday.Melvin Upton Jr. hit an RBI triple past diving outfielder Max Kepler and continued home on a misplay in the eighth inning, completing Torontos rally from a five-run deficit and lifting the AL East-leading Blue Jays over the Twins 8-7 Saturday.Theres all different kinds of ways to lose games, Molitor said. That one was particularly difficult.The Blue Jays trailed 7-6 in the eighth when Kevin Pillar doubled with one out off Ryan Pressly (6-6). Upton followed with a triple past a diving Max Kepler in right. Kepler slipped and fell, then fumbled the ball away while chasing it down by the wall, allowing Upton to score standing up as a sellout crowd of 47,485 cheered wildly.I kind of knew it would be a triple once it got by him, Upton Jr. said, but rounding second I saw (third base coach Luis Perez) kept waving me and I kept going.A disappointed Kepler stared into his locker for several minutes before speaking with reporters.I made three mistakes, Kepler said. I take the blame.Molitor said he had no issue with Keplers play.Max is trying to make a play and get us off the field with a lead and he came up short, Molitor said. Hes trying to do something to help us win.Sometimes we try to do too much and sometimes we play a little tentative and try not to make a mistake, he added. Id rather have to back guys off than to get them going.Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in three runs as Toronto handed the Twins their ninth straight loss.Right-hander Ervin Santana acknowledged that the clubhouse was a little down following the defeat.At the same time, we have to come tomorrow, erase this game today and then play hard, Santana said.Jason Grilli (5-3) worked one inning for the win and Roberto Osuna finished for his 29th save.A win like that can get some good things going for us, Grilli said.Manager John Gibbons agreed.That was a huge game, falling behind like we did and then to come back, Gibbons said. A little reminiscent of last year. It was a much-needed win.Minnesota led 5-0 before the Blue Jays rallied. Encarnacion hit his 36th homer and leads the AL with 105 RBI.Plouffe homered for the second straight game. He hadnt connected since July 1 before his first-inning drive Friday night.Dozier singled and scored on a wild pitch by Marcus Stroman in the first, singled again in the third, then hit a two-run double in Minnesotas four-run fourth.After Encarnacion homered in the sixth to make it 5-3, Plouffe homered off Bo Schultz in the seventh.Toronto chased Santana while scoring three times in the seventh. Pressly relieved with the bases loaded and gave up a two-run single to Josh Donaldson. Encarnacion followed with an RBI single off the glove of Plouffe at third.Things just snowballed, Molitor said. Youve got a team thats certainly capable of scoring runs in a hurry and got a little momentum.PERSONAL MILESTONEDoziers two-run double gave him a career-best 78 RBI.CROSS-BORDER BLUESThe Twins have lost six straight in Toronto.

Two days? Not a lot to go on there, either, as Tebow spent much of Wednesdays session watching Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett run drills while he tried to absorb the new system he was thrust into when he signed with New England this week. "Were not going to get into a minute-by-minute evaluation of a player," Belichick said. "I dont think thats the way to go, especially at this time of year." Robert Kraft wasnt as reluctant to size up Tebows much maligned throwing motion after the second day of the three-day minicamp. "Hes a lot better than I am," the Patriots 72-year-old owner said, his grin growing as he spoke. And, at least in Krafts mind, probably better than hes given credit for. Kraft had strolled onto the field late in Tebows first practice with the Patriots on Tuesday. The high-profile player discarded by the Denver Broncos and New York Jets had rolled out to throw short passes while on the run and dropped back to heave long passes into the end zone. "I was just out there for a short period, but to me, he looked pretty good," Kraft said. "Its fun having him here. I think that Tom Brady throws pretty well and I also think Ryan Mallett does the same. So its nice to have three quarterbacks who can throw very well." After Tebow practiced for the second time, Brady wasnt as eager to judge him. "To get to this point, you obviously have to be talented," Brady said. "So I have a lot of respect for everyone that plays and, certainly, (for) what Ive seen him do in the past." For the second straight day, Tebow mostly watched as Brady and Mallett took turns running 7-on-7 drills. Late in the session, Tebow played in 11-on-11 situations and was hit-or-miss while running plays from his new playbook. After each one, hed consult with assistant coach Brian Daboll, who referred to paper in his hand and instructed Tebow on what to do. Tebow threw an accurate, low pass that wide receiver Chaz Schilens, in for a tryout, caught while hitting the ground. Schilens ran back toward the huddle and slapped hands with Tebow, who at least had something familiar in his new situation. He and Schilens were roommates last summer at the Jets training camp. But a few plays later, Tebow threw an inaccurate pass that landed at the feet of a defender, who booted it back toward the line of scrimmage.dddddddddddd Hell get another chance at Thursdays final day of the three-day minicamp. Training camp wont start until late July. "I think everybody out there is pretty much in the same boat, just trying to get better day by day," Belichick said. "Some guys are starting at different points. Hes obviously starting at a point different than where other players were. "Theyre all moving along." Kraft praised Tebow for his competitiveness, hard work and spirituality. He called him a "winner" with a great attitude. That, however, may not be enough as he tries to secure a regular-season roster spot. "Having him as part of our franchise is great, but he has to compete just like anyone else," Kraft said. "Hes just one of 90 people (in camp) right now, so I wonder if we havent talked enough about him. But if you want to keep talking about him, we can do that." And he did. He said he was in on the discussions to sign Tebow. "Look," Kraft said, "life is about collecting good people around you, who you like to have with you and who want to win. I think he like many of our other players fall in that category." Tebow worked out only at quarterback during the two practices. Brady thought for a moment when asked how he would feel if he had to come off the field if Belichick wanted to use a play designed for Tebow, a good runner. "I have no idea," he said. "Thats a very hypothetical question. So, maybe well deal with it if it happens." Replacing one of the NFLs best quarterbacks with one who couldnt take playing time away from a struggling Mark Sanchez with the Jets last year is highly unlikely. "In my mind, we have the greatest quarterback of all time on our team," Kraft said. "Every time he has the ball in his hand, we have a chance to do something great." Tebow, of course, has accomplished much less than Brady. But he also brings a dimension that Kraft likes. "Hes hard-working. Hes very co-operative. I dont think theres any coach that wouldnt like to have a team full of people like he is, sort of like Brady," Kraft said. "Theyre all business and you cant get enough people like that on your team. "So, were honoured that hes with us." ' ' '
