ANAHEIM, Calif. - After some tough outings, R.A. Dickeys knuckleball was back to doing the kinds of things that leave hitters walking back to the dugout shaking their heads. Dickey scattered four hits over seven innings for his first victory in over a month, Jose Reyes homered and drove in three runs and the Toronto Blue Jays ended a season-worst five-game skid Tuesday night with a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels. "I just wanted to keep them guessing, as far as the speed goes," Dickey said. "And the movement was very good. When it was leaving my hand, I could see visible that it was moving in multiple directions." Dickey (7-8) struck out five and walked one after losing his previous four starts. The 2012 NL Cy young Award winner got back in the win column for the first time since beating the Tigers on June 4. "It was rewarding because Ive been going over some things in the bullpen," he said. "When you have a good game, you certainly want to rejoice over that and not get too far ahead of yourself." Dickey allowed only two Angels to reach base through the first six innings. He gave up a one-out single to Erick Aybar in the second and a walk to Chris Iannetta two batters later before retiring Collin Cowgill on a flyball to end the threat. "I thought they would be a pretty patient team, not having seen the knuckleball this year at all. And they were. So I wanted to have a knuckleball that I could depend on for strikes," the 39-year-old right-hander said. "I tried to throw as many first-pitch strikes as I could — at least one of the first two pitches. That 74-mile-an-hour knuckleball was kind of my strike knuckleball tonight." Cowgill was the first of 12 consecutive outs for Dickey before Mike Trout doubled to left field with two outs in the sixth and was thrown out at third by Melky Cabrera. The Blue Jays climbed within 2 1-2 games of the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles, who were rained out at Washington. They also snapped a seven-game road losing streak and ended the Angels 11-game home winning streak, which fell one shy of the franchise record set in 1967. Tyler Skaggs (4-5) gave up three runs and 11 hits over 6 2-3 innings in his second start off the disabled list, after missing 23 games because of a right hamstring strain. The left-hander, pitching at Angel Stadium for the first time since May 20, is 0-4 with a 4.18 ERA in his last five starts overall. "I thought I threw the ball really well," said Skaggs, who beat the Blue Jays 5-3 on May 10 at Toronto. "When I faced them the last time, they were swinging early — and they kept swinging today. They swung the bats a lot better than Ive seen them in the past, and they put together good at-bats." Nolan Reimold, acquired Sunday off waivers from Baltimore, made his second start in right field as Jose Bautista remained at first base for the injured Edwin Encarnacion. Reimould doubled his first two times up. Reyes opened the scoring in the fifth with an RBI single that snapped Torontos 0-for-25 drought with runners in scoring position. Reyes increased the margin to 3-0, driving Skaggs 100th pitch into the left field bullpen with two outs in the seventh after a single by Munenori Kawasaki. Darin Martroianni added an RBI single in the eighth. NOTES: The Angels are going all out to help get RHP Garrett Richards the final spot on the AL All-Star squad through the internet fan balloting. During batting practice, they all wore black T-shirts with the hashtag: "VoteGRich" and 14 All-Star" in red lettering on the front — with his No. 43 on the backs. The grounds crew stenciled the hashtag on the infield dirt behind second base, behind the batters box, and on the back slope of the mound. ... Only one of Reyes last 53 home runs has come with more than one man on base — a three-run shot against Colorados Jeff Francis on Aug. 17, 2012, at Coors Field with the Miami Marlins. ... The Angels optioned INF Grant Green to Triple-A Salt Lake and recalled RHP Cam Bedrosian from Double-A Arkansas.

Infante hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning and had an RBI single in a four-run fifth against former teammate Justin Verlander, helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Tigers 11-8 Monday night.Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews believes the weather rather than his side’s inexperience will be the tourists biggest challenge in their forthcoming Test series against England. Sri Lanka meet England in three Test matches, beginning at Yorkshires Headingley ground on Thursday, May 19, live on Sky Sports.But the Lions are no longer able to call upon Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene following the pairs retirement and have named uncapped duo Dasun Shanaka and Dhananjaya de Silva as part of their 17-man Test squad. The main challenge is going to be the weather for us initially. Were preparing ourselves as well as we possibly can, Mathews said.Yes we dont have Sangakkara and Mahela anymore, that we had in 2014, but weve got to move on, weve got to take on the challenge. I believe we can still win if we play to our potential. Angelo Mathews insists his young squad will surprise England Most of the players havent played that much cricket in England, its going to be the first time for most of them. But were trying to acclimatise as soon as possible.Weve got some fearless players in our side and that can be a plus for us. Well have to play really good cricket to beat England though. Mathews celebrates reaching his century at Headingley in 2014 Mathews smashed 160 the last time the two sides met at Headingley in 2014, with tailender James Anderson dismissed with the penultimate ball of the match as Sri Lanka claimed a 100-run victory, clinching their first Test series win in England.The 2014 series is one moment well cherish for the rest of our lives, he said. Wed never won a Test series here before, so to do that was fantastic.If we can repeat that once again it would be ideal. Its going to be a tough challenge. Sri Lankas cricketers received a Buddhist blessing in Colombo before flying to England Sri Lanka have coach Graham Ford back for a second stint with the national side after the South African cut short his time with Surrey to rejoin the team.dddddddddddd.It was a really tough decision but nice to be back with the Sri Lankan boys and experience the wonderful fighting attitude that they have and their passion for the game, Ford said.I think, first and foremost we are here to try to win the Test series and I believe we can do that. Sri Lanka head coach Graham Ford is confident he will get a great idea of the stage his team are at when they face England But with England having won the Ashes at home and triumphed in a Test series in South Africa in the past year, Ford expects a tough contest.He said: They have played fantastic cricket for a while now. They surprised some people in winning the Ashes convincingly but that certainly sent out a message as to what a good team they are. They played very well in South Africa too.But theres no better way to grow a young team than to play against a really good outfit.Watch Englands Test series against Sri Lanka live and exclusive on Sky Sports.
