Royals' Salvador Perez aims to ride power surge vs. Jays
(Photo credit: Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images) Salvador Perez is on a homer binge, and the visiting Kansas City Royals would like the trend to continue Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of their three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The teams have split the first two contests of their series, with Perez hitting a home run in each game. His second homer of the series came against Max Scherzer in the sixth inning of Toronto's 4-2 victory on Saturday. Perez also hit his first career homer against Scherzer on Aug. 29, 2011. He has 11 home runs in his past 21 games. 'We need him and other guys to do it, too,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'You provide power in the middle of the lineup, and that is a big threat at any time.' Perez became the first Royals player to have nine seasons with 20 or more home runs. Hall of Famer George Brett had eight. With 293 career home runs, he is close to becoming the eighth catcher to reach 300 in his career. The Royals are going for a series win that would give them a good start to their nine-game road trip. They hope that scheduled starter Seth Lugo (8-5, 3.03 ERA) can continue his success against the Blue Jays. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.21 ERA in 20 1/3 innings over six career games (two starts) against them. The Blue Jays, who lead the American League East by four games, are expected to counter with right-hander Chris Bassitt (11-5, 4.24). In seven career starts against Kansas City, he is 1-2 with a 3.92 ERA in 39 innings. The Royals picked up two more injuries on Saturday. Second baseman Jonathan India was hit by a pitch on his left wrist and forearm in the third inning. He left the game in the fifth. 'It's just a contusion,' Quatraro said. 'We got an X-ray and nothing is broken. Just sore. He has been battling that wrist, anyway, and he was hit there again.' Reliever Steven Cruz left in the seventh with discomfort in his right shoulder and he will have further evaluation. 'He felt a little pinching,' Quatraro said. 'Just kind of some normal throwing discomfort.' Blue Jays catcher Tyler Heineman left the game in the fourth inning with what was termed a head contusion. He took a foul ball off his mask in the third inning and was hit on the hand by a pitch in the bottom of the third. Toronto manager John Schneider said that early indications were that he did not have a concussion. 'It's more of a head contusion,' Schneider said. 'When I went out there, it was more kind of a headache, and his jaw got it a little bit. So, we will check him out (Sunday) and, hopefully, dodge a bullet. But he is doing all right.' With catcher Alejandro Kirk on the concussion injured list, Ali Sanchez took over behind the plate. Kirk is expected to return to action on Sunday. '(Heineman) wanted to keep going, felt like he could keep going and, unfortunately, you've got to take it out of their hands sometimes,' Schneider said. Toronto outfielder George Springer also is out with a concussion after being hit by a pitch against the Baltimore Orioles last week. The Blue Jays returned from a 4-4 road trip for a short homestand. They will hit the road again Monday for six games against the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Sailing school allows beginners to learn the ropes this summer in Saskatchewan
Beginners are taking advantage of learning how to sail this summer in Saskatchewan, thanks to the Regina Sailing Club. After travelling to Tahiti with her husband, Victoria Oppenlander came across a couple of sailors. 'We ran into people sailing around the world. We chatted with them, gave them a ride to their next spot, and it kind of piqued our interests,' she shared. Upon returning to their home in Saskatchewan, the two felt the wind in their own sails to learn the ropes of the sport themselves. 'When we got home we checked it out, found out there was a learn-to-sail class in the province,' she explained. 'It worked out that we were able to sign up for classes this summer so that's what we're doing.' In late July, Oppenlander was one of many people participating in the water-based sport at Last Mountain Lake – joining a one-week sailing course organized by the Saskatchewan Sailing Club's Association's Mobile Sailing School.

'We get about 10 students every class,' shared head instructor Rhys Kelm. 'I really like teaching them how to sail right from the barebones beginning. As they get in the boat and they don't even know how the boat steers at all, then suddenly by the end of it, they're racing, right? It's super cool to see that progression from zero to hero almost.' Out on her first time with her father and brother, 12-year-old Hayley Mickelborough said the activity was her dad's idea, but she hopped on board as soon as arriving at shore. 'It's a little scary, it's fun, it's interesting. I like it,' she said smiling. 'I would recommend this because it's a big learning experience. It's just really fun overall.' Regina's local club said the initiative helps encourage people of all ages and skill levels to come out. 'These courses are very important to the growth of our sport. It's a not a very known sport in Saskatchewan,' explained Adam Fletcher, commodore of Regina Sailing Club. 'Anytime we have the opportunity to get new people involved, exposed, we will take it.' Fletcher added that people don't need to have much experience or own their own equipment to be able to join. 'If you're looking at becoming a member of the Regina Sailing Club, you do not have to own your own boats. We do have member boats available to you,' he explained. 'We do have some little dinghies that you can use if you're starting out from. We do have cruiser boats for those more experienced sailors.' People can find out more information on the club's website. - With files from Gareth Dillistone

Sask. 13-year-old bags second hole-in-one of the season
Two hole-in-ones. One summer. What sounds like a dream for most golfers has come true for one very young enthusiast, 13-year-old Krosby Jackman from Moose Jaw, Sask. Jackman said he made his second ace of the summer, a 100-yard shot, at Madge Lake Golf Resort last week. "I was just playing by myself, so I was just videoing every hole for fun," Jackman said. "I set up the camera on my cart wheels. I used the pitching wedge and I shot it and I couldn't really see the hole cause there's a bit of a hill, and I was so excited that it went in." WATCH | Jackman caught his second hole-in-one of the summer on video: Young Sask. golfer hits second hole-in-one of the summer 2 days ago He said first hole-in-one of the season came closer to home for him at the Hillcrest Golf Club in Moose Jaw. "I was with a couple of buddies and they're just playing around and we're making some TikToks and then we were playing from the yellows on hole five," Jackman said. "I shot an 8 iron, and it was one pop and it went in. It was really exciting. My heart was definitely beating for the first one." Jackman said his biggest mentor in the sport has been his grandma Lorie Boyle. She still competes in provincial tournaments, and has been inducted into the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame, and the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame. Jackman's mother Jasmine Cameron is the general manager at Hillcrest, and said she's had her boy golfing since he was just two years old. "He's been lucky enough to be able to come with me to the course and have a membership here and work on those skills," Cameron said. "If he could live at the golf course, he would. I'm surprised we don't have a bed here for him. She said she was working in the pro shop the day of Jackman's fire ace. He called her to share the news. "He says, 'bring some Powerades to celebrate with my buddies.' So I went out there, got a few pictures. That was pretty awesome." Jackman said his plans for the future are to play two rounds a day every day, get good grades and try to get a post-secondary scholarship.
