ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Toronto Blue Jays have remained in the thick of the AL playoff race despite a dismal start to September.Thanks to some familiar big bats and a well-rested knuckleballer, the Jays are finally gathering a bit of momentum for the pennant race.Troy Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer, R.A. Dickey pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning and Toronto stayed atop the AL wild-card chase with a 5-0 victory over the freefalling Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.Edwin Encarnacion added a late two-run homer for the Blue Jays (81-66), who stayed even with Baltimore for the leagues two wild cards. Both teams trail Boston by two games for the AL East lead with 15 to play.We look at it, of course, Dickey said. Thats part of a postseason run.

It would be good timing if it was.Dickey (10-14) bolstered his case to keep a rotation spot by limiting the Angels to seven hits and striking out five. His first start since Sept. 5 began with a rough first inning before he settled in.Its not ideal to pitch once every 10 days, especially for a knuckleball pitcher, Dickey said. It was a little bit of a challenge to find the release point and the grip. Once I got that, it was easier.The Angels chased Dickey and loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth, but failed to score against Joe Biagini when Kaleb Cowart flied out to end the inning. Cowart also struck out to end the eighth, stranding two more Angels.Roberto Osuna got four outs for his 33rd save.EDWINS EDGEEncarnacions homer in the ninth inning was his 40th, boosting his AL-leading RBI total to a career-high 118. He joined Jose Bautista and Carlos Delgado as the only Blue Jays with multiple 40-homer seasons.Its a nice number to reach, Encarnacion said. Im really happy to be part of that group. Those two guys are big horses.WEAVE DOWNJered Weaver (11-12) matched his career high for losses despite throwing six mostly sharp innings of seven-hit ball for Los Angeles, striking out four.My fastball command was really good all night, Weaver said. Its the best its been in a while. I was able to locate down and in all night. Just one stupid pitch, and thats the difference in the game.Tulowitzki connected in the fourth inning on that pitch from his fellow product of nearby Long Beach States prolific baseball program. The homer, Tulowitzkis second in September, was the 36th allowed by the slow-throwing Weaver this season, one shy of James Shields for most in the majors.ALBERTS 600THAlbert Pujols became the 16th player in big league history to get 600 career doubles with a drive into the left-field corner in the first inning.
