American LeagueBest team: What’s kept the Toronto Blue Jays at the top of the standings in the AL East despite the recent hot play of Boston and New York? The Jays know how to win close games. Toronto won nine of its first 14 one-run games. It helps having relievers such as Jason Frasor (0.60 ERA) and Scott Downs (1.86) when you’re in a pinch.Rising: If the Detroit Tigers need a winning streak, they can invite the Texas Rangers to Comerica Park. It worked again last week as the Tigers turned a modest three-game streak into a six-game run. They did it without Magglio Ordonez and are at the top of the heap in the mediocre Central.Falling: It wasn’t exactly a good Thursday for the Chicago White Sox.

SAN DIEGO -- Whether Jake Peavy will ever wear a Cubs uniform is unknown, but there's little doubt where most Cubs fans stand on the issue.

A jarring hit from Detroit's Niklas Kronwall, one that flattened Chicago's Martin Havlat, has put a new spin on the Western Conference finals. It most likely knocked Havlat, the Blackhawks' points leader, out for Sunday's Game 4 and spiked emotions between the old Original Six rivals. 'Marty didn't have the puck,' Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell said Saturday. 'If he hit Marty and hit him clean, that's fine. That happens. ... It's just how he hits. You can see his forearms coming up and his hands are coming up and he's lunging forward and jumping into the guy.' Chicago coach Joel Quenneville didn't directly address reports that Havlat may have lost consciousness when he first crumbled to the ice. He said doctors are monitoring his condition. 'We're not going to discuss the injury,' Quenneville said. 'His health is going to be the first criteria before he's even going to be considered to be playing.'

The Blackhawks will probably start backup goalie Cristobal Huet in place of Nikolai Khabibulin for Game 4 of the Western Conference finals on Sunday. Khabibulin played the first two periods Friday before leaving with an injury. Huet replaced him and was able to stop a Red Wings' surge that had produced three quick second-period goals and wiped out Chicago's 3-0 lead.
