LONDON -- Mo Farah cruised to victory in the 5,000 meters and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fell short in a sluggish sprint on Saturday in contrasting fortunes for the Olympic champions in their final races before heading to Rio de Janeiro.Back on the London track where he became a double Olympic champion four years ago, Farah dominated the field to finish 15 seconds ahead of fellow Briton Andrew Butchart.Farah clocked 12 minutes, 59.29 seconds at the London Diamond League meet, delighting home fans at the Olympic Stadium.Not many people get a chance to compete in their home town and have so many memories of the place, said Farah, who also won gold in the 10,000 at the 2012 Olympics.The 33-year-old Farah has never felt in better shape heading into a major event.Training is going well, he said. Its harder for me to defend (the titles), the reason being the rest of the guys had four years preparation to try and beat me.The other headline attraction on Saturday, Fraser-Pryce, knows what its like to be beaten after running the 100 in 11.06 seconds to finish third.I dont have a lot of fitness because I havent been racing, the Jamaican said. So it was very important for me to come here to do these runs, just to see where I am and go back to training.The race was won by Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast with a personal best of 10.96, with Michelle-Lee Ahye of Trinidad and Tobago 0.03 seconds adrift.Fraser-Pryce, a championship specialist who has won three world and two Olympic golds in the 100, is trying to become the first woman to win the same individual event at three successive Olympics next month.Im hoping for the impossible to happen, she said. Psychologically I think am in a better place than I was a couple of weeks ago because I was really struggling.I am really confident. I am comfortable with where I am at. I am not 100 percent where I want to be, but you have to use what you have and get there.There was a more predictable outcome in the 200, with world champion Dafne Schippers winning in 22.13.Im comfortable with being tagged as the favorite, the Dutch sprinter said. Im never nervous which is good for me. Wholesale Jerseys . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.

TORONTO -- Even in Little League, Melvin Upton Jr. couldnt remember circling the bases quite this way.Upton Jr. hit an RBI triple past a diving outfielder and continued home on a misplay, completing Torontos rally from a five-run deficit and sending the AL East-leading Blue Jays over the Minnesota Twins 8-7 Saturday.Thats a first, Upton Jr. said of his wild circuit.The speedy Upton, acquired in a trade with San Diego last month, has nine RBI in his past 14 games.Hes dynamic out there and were excited to have him, Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman said.Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in three runs as Toronto handed the Twins their ninth straight loss.Theres all different kinds of ways to lose games, Twins manager Paul 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 shallow right.Kepler slipped and fell trying to retrieve the ball, and accidentally kicked it onto the warning track. That allowed 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 aggressive dive.Sometimes we try to do too much and sometimes we play a little tentative and try not to make a mistake, Molitor said. Id rather have to back guys off than to get them going.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 off last year.dddddddddddd 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.Trevor 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 starter Ervin 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.
