for their game Sunday afternoon versus the Hamilton Bulldogs at Ricoh Coliseum.
Smith scored one goal in three games with the Leafs this season. Ashton had one
assist and five penalty minutes through seven games, and Broll racked up an
assist and five penalty minutes through five games.
Chris Mannella Jersey . The Jays responded to the three-spot Detroit placed on Casey Janssen the evening before with an attack
on the Tigers Achilles Heel, its bullpen, tying the game in the ninth and
winning the game in the 10th. The result absolved Marcus Stroman, brilliant once
again, of a tough luck loss while at the same time robbing Max Scherzer,
brilliant once again, of a deserved win.

Month for April.LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Phil Mickelson hardly sounded like a guy who
nearly won his sixth major championship. He was a bit put off by the way it
finished. More important, he wasnt about to let a strong showing at the PGA
Championship brighten the way he felt about this year. Theres a lot of work
ahead. "Ive got some regrouping to do these next three or four months,"
Mickelson said Sunday night, standing in the darkness of Valhalla after losing
to Rory McIlroy by a single shot. "I have some glaring areas in my game that I
have to work on." He was part of a riveting four-man duel in the rain-delayed
final round, but a costly bogey at the 16th denied Mickelson a chance to break
his longest winless stretch since 2003. Lefty closed with a 5-under 66 for a
15-under 269 total, not quite good to deny to deny McIlroy his second straight
major title. For Mickelson, it was an encouraging performance after a largely
disappointing season. He hasnt won since the 2013 British Open, and he wasnt a
factor in the first three majors this year. Now, its time for the 44-year-old to
get to work. "I feel like if Im able to continue to be strong and healthy and
sharp in these areas of my game, I should have four or five good years,"
Mickelson said. "These next three or four months will be critical for me making
sure that I address the issues and that Im ready to go in 2015." What are his
most pressing concerns? Mickelson had a lengthy list. "Short irons were terrible
this year as a whole. Its usually a strength, and Ive got to get that back," he
said. Then Mickelson mentioned his driving, especially missing the fairway at
the 16th and 17th holes. "Those two tee shots hurt. Those are things Ive got to
address. Ive got to. I dont mind being wild, but when youve got to get in the
fairway, youve got to be able to do it." The finish was downright bizarre. A
nearly two-hour suspension set up a race to the finish, and the last two groups
-- Mickelson and Fowler, followed by McIlroy and Bernd Wiesberger -- arrived at
the 18th tee one after the other, barely able to see the green 538 yards away.
After Mickelson and Fowler hit their shots, the PGA of America told the final
group to hit as well, essentially turning the final hole of a major championship
into a foursome.

next-to-last pairing to step aside so the last one could hit. Then, after
Mickelson and Fowler struck their second shots, McIlroy and Wiesberger hit as
well. With all four at least near the green, Mickelson and Fowler played out.
Lefty nearly chipped in for eagle off the front of the green, which could have
forced a playoff. But a birdie left him lacking by a shot when McIlroy blasted
out of a bunker, two-putted for par and signed for 268. Mickelson got in a bit
of a shot at the PGA of America, mentioning that the organization only runs one
tournament a year. But he acknowledged that the strange ending didnt really
affect the outcome. "Thats not what we normally do," he said. "But its not a big
deal either way. At least that way, we had a chance to finish." For Mickelson,
any chance of adding to his three Masters titles, last years British Open and
the 2005 PGA Championship essentially ended at the 16th hole, where he drove
into the rough, left his second shot short of a bunker and nearly chipped in,
the ball catching the right lip of the cup before skidding 10 feet past. He
missed the putt to save par, dropping out of the lead he shared with McIlroy.
When McIlroy rolled in a birdie at the 17th, the lead grew to two strokes
heading to the final hole. "It was a fun day for me to get in the mix and a fun
day for me to make some birdies and move up early so that I had a good chance on
the back nine," Mickelson said. "Had I been able to finish those last five, six
holes strong, I could have totally flipped the way I look at this year." Maybe
his ninth runner-up finish in a major will turn out to be blessing. "Regardless
of how I played this week, I know that Ive got to address some things,"
Mickelson said. "These next four to five years, I really want to make them
special." Mickelson extended his American record by qualifying for his 10th
consecutive Ryder Cup team. The PGA was the final qualifying event for nine
Americans to make the team that will face Europe late next month in Scotland.
Mickelson jumped from 10th to fifth.
