HOUSTON, Texas - The Blue Jays lost a sixth-straight game on Friday night, 12-4 to the Astros in the first of three at Minute Maid Park. It marked the fifth-straight game, dating back to the first game of a doubleheader in New York on Tuesday, in which the Blue Jays scored first but couldnt hold the lead. Edwin Encarnacion (32,) J.P. Arencibia (20,) and Brett Lawrie (10) hit home runs for Toronto. Ryan Goins, a 25-year-old native of Round Rock, Texas, made his major league debut and went 2-4 with a single and a double. He had family and friends in the stands and enjoyed playing in a stadium where he attended games growing up. "Playing your first game, somewhere youve been, you know the surroundings, you know what it looks like so I think it was good," said Goins. Todd Redmond (1-2, 4.44) took the loss, allowing seven earned runs over 3 1/3 innings. After the game, the Blue Jays optioned reliever Brad Lincoln to Triple-A Buffalo. WANG TO START SATURDAY Chien-Ming Wang will be recalled in time to make Saturdays start against the Astros. "Hes been up here, hes a seasoned vet," said manager John Gibbons. "He had some good starts for us. He was doing fine down there. Everything kind of fell in line." In five starts for the Blue Jays between June 11 and July 2, Wang went 1-1 with a 7.12 ERA. He went at least 6 1/3 innings in each of his first three outings but didnt escape the second in either of his final two appearances. In 17 Triple-A starts this season, nine with the Yankees affiliate in Scranton and eight with Buffalo, Wang is 8-7 with an ERA of 2.72. Even with rosters scheduled to expand on September 1, barring the unforeseen, Wangs stay in Toronto likely wont be a long one. "I think we just need that one start, the way its going to turn out with that doubleheader and that off day," said Gibbons. Mark Buehrle is scheduled to pitch Sundays finale in Houston. R.A. Dickey will open the Yankees series in Toronto on Monday, thereby making Esmil Rogers available out of the bullpen this weekend. BAUTISTAS FUNDRAISER Jose Bautista and a few of his teammates will be busy on Thursday, an off day, taking part in the first annual Jose Bautista Celebrity Golf Classic. Taking place at Eagles Nest in Maple, the days proceeds will go toward the Bautista Family Educational Fund, a charity Bautista founded in 2011 to help young amateur athletes access higher education. Bautistas focus is his native Dominican Republic, although the foundations work has extended to Canada. "For your typical kid from the Dominican Republic that comes from the poorer part of society, which is 80-percent of the population down in the Dominican, its not like they have a lot of options," said Bautista. "A lot of them, when they dont play sports, they have to start working at a very early age. The ones who are able to play sports and end up being good at them, most of the time they get pulled out of school to go to one of those boarding houses that house a lot of players and try to groom them into becoming the next professional baseball player." Some kids see baseball as their only way out of poverty. Bautista knows their chances of making the big time arent good. He wants to give them an alternative. "From the kids that drop out of school (to focus on baseball) its less than three percent, the success rate after that three percent signs in professional baseball is about the same getting to the big leagues and establishing themselves." Bautista says hed have liked to have started the annual golf outing earlier but because the foundation relies, in part, on corporate investment, it had to clear hurdles with the NCAA to ensure beneficiaries could maintain amateur status. Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Reyes, Brett Lawrie and J.P. Arencibia are among the Blue Jays who will participate in the golf day on Thursday. Jeff Beukeboom Jersey .

WINNIPEG -- Robert Marve knows that when you give Winnipeg Blue Bomber fans something to cheer about, you feel the love. Marve is one of three quarterbacks coach Mike OShea says are in the running to back up starter Drew Willy for the Bombers. He spent a scant few minutes on the field last Thursday at the end of a 24-22 loss to the Toronto Argonauts but didnt waste a second. He rushed for 17 yards and connected with three out of four passes, including one for a touchdown to rookie receiver Donavon Kemp. It game fans a reason to cheer, and they responded in person and on Twitter. "I did get some Bomber love," he said Thursday after practice. "That was nice. The fans are awesome and I appreciate all the support." Marve will get another chance to play Saturday when the Bombers visit the Calgary Stampeders in Calgary, but coach Mike OShea couldnt say how much. "Well see all four," he said. "Now how the times broken down, well see how it all plays out. But the plan right now is, as I said yesterday, to give Drew all the time he needs to feel comfortable and for the offence to get comfortable with him." Willy also didnt sound too concerned Thursday about how much time he will get as the team plays its last pre-season game before their CFL home opener against the Argonauts June 26. He had two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a backup capacity and at least on Thursday was getting a lot more playing time in practice. OShea insists the role of backup in Winnipeg is still very much up for grabs. In terms of CFL experience, Max Hall would seem to have the inside track. HHe finished last season as the pivot the Bombers turned too most often as they struggled to find a way to win.dddddddddddd But they also brought in Marve and Brian Brohm to audition. At just 25, Marve is the youngest of the three. A high-school star in Florida, his college career was marred by three operations to repair three tears of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Likely as a result, he was undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft but attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. He insists his knee feels better after this last operation than it has since it was first injured and he doesnt let the injury in any way dictate how hes going to play. "No, Im a loose cannon. I cant play holding anything back. And as you kind of saw on that one drive Im a pump up guy. I like to run around and make some things happen. "So I felt good in the game. My knee felt fine when I was running so Im ready to go physically." His last operation was about a year ago and he finished his college career at Purdue before having it. Among the cuts the Bombers announced Thursday was their No. 1 draft pick in 2012, offensive lineman Tyson Pencer. Although Pencer, who was taken third overall in that years CFL draft, has spent much of his time with the Bombers on an injured list, OShea said they have seen enough to know he was not going to make the team. They also released import defensive linemen Stafford Gatling and Louis Nzegwu, import offensive lineman Quentin Saulsberry and another draft pick, defensive back Kris Robertson, who they selected in the second round last year.
