KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rick Porcello has an AL-leading 12 wins and a 3.39 ERA for the first-place Detroit Tigers. His manager believes thats good enough for the right-hander to be on the All-Star team. However, Porcello, who has a family fishing trip planned for the All-Star break, hasnt been picked for the team yet. "I think he clearly is an All-Star," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said after Porcello pitched seven strong innings in Detroits 5-1 victory over Kansas City on Saturday. "Hes got 12 wins, An ERA in the low 3s. Theres going to be snubs every year at the All-Star break and I think hes clearly a snub." Porcello (12-5) outpitched James Shields as the Tigers won their fifth in a row. He also raised his career record against Kansas City to 8-3 while yielding six hits and one run to help give Detroit a 7 1/2-game cushion over Kansas City in the AL Central. Alex Avila drove in three runs, putting the Tigers in position to go for a four-game sweep on Sunday. Porcello, who has won four of his last five decisions and been key in Detroits taking a big lead in the division, is fine whether or not hes selected for the All-Star game. "Thats not my decision," he said. "I just go out there and pitch and let everybody else take care of that." His teammates clearly believe Porcello deserves to be there when the games elite are introduced. "We all thought he definitely deserved (a selection), but I will say that is a tough group he was in, that final vote," said Avila, who drove in three runs with a single and a ninth-inning homer. "All those guys did deserve it, too. Theres always going to be a guy who gets left out." The Royals have lost six of their last eight and are 0-6 at home against Detroit this year. "To this point, weve underachieved but were still seven games better than we were at this point last year," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "We know were a second-half club. Weve been a second-half club." Shields (9-5) allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked none while throwing 121 pitches. The Tigers scored three in the ninth against reliever Aaron Crow, starting with J.D. Martinezs leadoff home run. Nick Castellanos was safe at first after a replay review overturned a call, and Avila hit a 427-foot homer. Ian Kinslers RBI single put the Tigers on top 1-0 in the third. In the fourth, Torii Hunter hit a drive into straightaway centre field over the head of Jarrod Dyson and turned it into his first triple of the season. The relay throw actually beat the sliding Hunter to the bag, but he was safe when third baseman Mike Moustakas failed to get the tag down. Avilas RBI single made it 2-0. Billy Butler had a sacrifice fly in the sixth after the Royals had wasted several scoring chances. Alcides Escobar bounced into an inning-ending double play in the second, Lorenzo Cain did the same in the third and then, with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth, Porcello struck out Cain on a 2-2 pitch. Al Alburquerque pitched a perfect ninth for the Tigers, who held the Royals to one run for the second night in a row.

Cain made a terrific catch of Miguel Cabreras opposite-field drive in the first, snaring the ball just as he crashed hard into the wall. ... Both starters laboured, but after four innings, Shields had thrown 78 pitches and Porcello 40. ... It was the 12th time in his career that Shields has thrown 121 or more pitches. ...

The Redblacks host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (7-9) Friday night in their last home game of the year and as of Thursday afternoon, the team was anticipating a ninth consecutive sellout. You can watch all the action on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Fans can also listen to the action on TSN 1200 Ottawa. Head coach Rick Campbell says he would love nothing more than to send fans home with a victory as their final memory of their inaugural season. If that (sellout) happens its a pretty cool deal and a pretty big deal that you could sell out a whole season of a brand new football team, said Campbell. We want to give our fans something to cheer about. Our guys dont take it lightly about having a sellout for the whole season. Its a big deal and our players know its a big deal. In addition, Ottawa has the opportunity to play the role of spoiler. The Tiger-Cats, who are tied with Toronto for second in the East Division, are still looking to make the post-season and a win over the Redblacks could be essential to their playoff hopes. If theres one team and one game we want to win its this game right here, said Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, who played for the Tiger-Cats last season and was released in the off-season. Teams have played spoiler for us in our new season so hopefully we can play spoiler on this occasion. Campbell says the teams focus is on its own game, but Jovon Johnson admitted the idea of spoiling Hamiltons playoff hopes is appealing. At this point, since we know were not going forward in the playoffs and knowing how tight the race is in the East, we have every intention of playing spoiler, said Johnson. That will definitely be part of the plan. The Tiger-Cats havent had much success on the road this season, going 1-7 away from Hamilton but have defeated Ottawa twice this season. The two teams played two weeks ago where the Tiger-Cats defeated the Redblacks 16-6, but with a few adjustmentts the Redblacks believe the result could have been very different.dddddddddddd. Weve just got to finish our drives on the offence, said Burris. The defence did a great job of holding them at bay, but if we can pull on our side and put the ball in positions to score and make some plays when we have the chance, thats the stuff thats been killing us all year and until we overcome those kinds of things well continually put ourselves in bad positions. But I have a good feeling about this one. Once again the Redblacks will give rookie quarterback Danny OBrien an opportunity to play. Campbell said he anticipates OBrien will play at least five or six series over the course of the game. Last week against Montreal OBrien went 3 for 5 for 111 yards with one touchdown and one interception. We think hes a good player with a future and we want to get a look at him,. Campbell said. OBrien was originally No. 3 on Ottawas depth chart, but moved up after Thomas DeMarco suffered a season-ending injury in late August. Overall OBrien is 10 for 19 this season (52.6 per cent) for 177 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Burris has just one touchdown at TD Place. Antoine Pruneau, who was named the CFLs top Canadian for the month of October, was impressive in the Redblacks 16-6 loss to Hamilton two weeks ago where he had nine tackles and one sack. Pruneau leads all CFL rookies in defensive tackles this season with 62 and in his last 11 games as a starter, has led the Redblacks with 59 tackles. We know what theyre looking to accomplish and if we can stop them it would be an added bonus, said Pruneau. We know its going to be an intense game, but we were already very motivated to come out and play hard. This is our last home game and the best thing we could do is finish our season here with a win. Notes: On the offensive line, JMichael Deane will play at tackle, Jon Gott will play guard and Alexander Krausnick will play centre. Dobson Collins will play at receiver. On defence, Moton Hokins will play. Eddie Elder will not play Friday. ... Burris says his kids are willing to pass up trick or treating to come and watch him play.
