TORONTO -- The Milwaukee Brewers could have intentionally walked Edwin Encarnacion to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game. Instead they decided to pitch to the Toronto slugger, and he ended the game in walk-off fashion. Encarnacion turned on a 3-1 slider from Brandon Kintzler for a no-doubt three-run shot that gave the Blue Jays a 7-4 win over the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. "He hanged (it), I banged it," Encarnacion said. The win gave Toronto (47-39) a two-game mini-sweep of Milwaukee (51-35) and extended the Blue Jays lead atop the American League East to 1 1/2 games over Baltimore. The Orioles were scheduled to play the Texas Rangers later Wednesday. Encarnacion, whos now tied for the major-league lead with 26 homers, raised his arms in the air after finishing his swing. He dropped the bat, clapped his hands a few times and began to trot around the bases as the 24,286 fans at Rogers Centre roared in approval. "For me its the best moment you can have," Encarnacion said. "For any player to have a walk-off home run. So everybody (is) happy on the team and were going to fly a five-hour happy flight today." The Blue Jays will kick off a 10-game road trip Thursday at Oakland. Jose Reyes led off the ninth with a double and Melky Cabrera was intentionally walked. Anthony Gose tried to move both runners into scoring position, but Reyes was thrown out at third after the sacrifice bunt attempt. Darin Mastroianni struck out before Encarnacion hit his third career walkoff homer. "I should have just bounced a sinker and walked him or thrown the slider away off the plate," Kintzler said. "It definitely didnt go where I planned it." Jose Bautista and Juan Francisco also homered for Toronto. Casey Janssen (3-0) worked one inning of relief for the win, and reliever Will Smith (1-1) shouldered the loss. "A good win for the guys," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "They finished a tough homestand with a good win." Both teams scored in the opening frame. Jonathan Lucroy hit a two-out double off Toronto starter J.A. Happ and scored when cleanup hitter Carlos Gomez hit a bloop single that dropped in right field. Bautista answered in the bottom half by hitting a solo shot in his first at-bat for the second straight day. He took a 3-1 pitch from starter Wily Peralta over the wall in left-centre field for his 17th homer of the year. The Brewers scored three times in the third inning but Happ settled down after that, recording 13 outs in a row before catcher Martin Maldonados bunt single in the seventh inning. "I tried to get back down and focus and try to cover some innings and let our offence grind it out, and thats what we did," Happ said. The Blue Jays tied the game with Franciscos two-run shot in the fourth, his 13th homer of the season. Toronto put baserunners on in the seventh but Mastroianni failed to advance the lead runner with a sacrifice bunt attempt. Brewers skipper Ron Roenicke was ejected in the top of the eighth and Gibbons was tossed in the bottom half after a safe call was overturned at second base. Gibbons admitted he was frustrated and perhaps a little on edge after a long homestand with a lot of day games. "Maybe I got tired of looking at bunts not getting put down," he said with a smile. "So I said, Ill go have a beer." It was Roenickes first ejection of the season and the second for Gibbons. Notes: The game took three hours one minute to play. ...

TORONTO -- Derek Jeter was given a uniquely Canadian gift by the Toronto Blue Jays. The New York Yankees captain was given a three-night stay in the royal suite of the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in Alberta on Sunday in a ceremony before his final game in Toronto. The vacation includes a helicopter tour of the Canadian Rockies, a private cooking lesson with the hotels executive chef and a private mixology lesson. Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle and right-fielder Jose Bautista presented Jeter with the package as well as $10,000 for his Turn2 Foundation. Jeter is retiring after 19 years -- all with the Yankees -- and has been feted at the last game in every Major League city as the season winds down. A montage of some of Jeters best plays and his many awards and accolades was shown on the Rogers Centres Jumbotron. The short video highlighted the surefire Hall of Famers many accomplishments, including his 14 all-star awards, five World Series championships and 2000 World Series MVP. Fans in attendance gave Jeter a standing ovation throughout the ceremony, loudly applauding as he accepted the gifts. Toronto also honoured Jeter throughout the game with specially made bases with plates on the side that show the Yankees and Blue Jays logos, as well as a crest with his No. 2 on a pinstripe background. Although Jeter was celebrated by the Blue Jays and their fans on Sunday, he had some mixed memories of playing at Rogers Centre. "I love the city of Toronto. This teams given us fits throughout the years, especially here,," said Jeter on Friday.dddddddddddd "One moment that stands out -- the first thing I think about is dislocating my shoulder at third base. I dont know if thats a good thing but Ive always enjoyed coming to Toronto." The Blue Jays did not let the festivities distract them, holding on for a 4-3 win over New York. The admiration for Jeter was apparent throughout the game, with the sold-out crowd of 45,678 cheering for his every plate appearance. Fittingly, Jeter was the last Yankees player to come to bat, getting caught out by Toronto second baseman Steve Tolleson to end the game with a New York runner on third base. Yankees manager Joe Girardi had Jeter in the lineup as New Yorks designated hitter, trying to save the 40-year-old shortstop wear and tear as the team chases a wild card berth. The reduced workload seemed to help Jeter, as he went 1-for-5 on Sunday, compared to his 0-for-4 performance in the Yankees 2-0 loss on Saturday. Jeter hit a single in his first at bat, following Brett Gardners solo shot to right field on just the second pitch of the game. Martin Prado then hit into a double play, with Mark Teixiera striking out to end the first inning. In the third inning Jeter ground out to second baseman Munenori Kawasaki. With New York leading 3-0, Jeter flied out to Torontos Melky Cabrera in left field for the second out of the fifth inning. He ground out to pitcher J.A. Happ in the top of the seventh, ending the inning with the Yankees maintaining a 3-2 lead. ' ' '
