CALGARY -- Henry Burris surpassed a major CFL milestone on Friday night, but couldnt find a way to lead his Hamilton Tiger-Cats to victory over the Calgary Stampeders. With a six-yard touchdown pass to Onrea Jones at the end of the first half, Burris became just the fifth quarterback in CFL history to pass for more than 50,000 career yards. "Were all about winning," said Burris, who completed 26-of-39 passes for 408 yards to go with two touchdowns and two interceptions. "Thats something that at the end of the day Ill look back and be thankful on, but right now it means nothing. Of course if we got a victory, we would have been thinking opposite about that." The Ticats (5-6) led 15-13 at the half and 22-16 after the third before the Stamps (9-2) rallied for 10 unanswered points in the final quarter to emerge with a 26-22 win in front of 26,649 fans at McMahon Stadium. "We had so many opportunities," Burris said. "We were definitely in control, but when you give a good team like Calgary enough opportunities theyre going to find a way to succeed. Thats on us. We have to be able to close games out to be able to beat the good teams in the league." After the game, Hamilton running back C.J. Gable said he was disappointed the Ticats couldnt do more to get the win for Burris to make it even more of a special occasion. "We wanted that bad for him," said Gable, who ran for 53 yards on nine carries and added 108 yards through the air on six catches. "For all that, we should have come away with the win. We thought we should have had the win." Hamilton actually had a great chance to extend their lead in the fourth quarter before linebacker Alvin Bowen picked off an errant Burris pass at the Calgary nine-yard line to end a lengthy drive by the Ticats. "We were in control there especially in the third going into the fourth," Burris said. "We cant get the ball down into the scoring zone there twice and not come away with any points. They got the turnover and werent able to put points on the board there. Ultimately thats what defeated us." Ticats coach Kent Austin credited the Stamps for capitalizing on Hamiltons mistakes and ultimately winning the game thanks to a 15-yard touchdown pass by Bo Levi Mitchell to Marquay McDaniel late in the fourth quarter. "Theyre a good football team," Austin said. "You give them an opportunity like that, theyre going to find a way to win football games. Thats why their record is where it is." Ultimately, Austin wasnt pleased with his offence, despite Burriss personal milestone. "I didnt think we showed up in the passing game," Austin said. "We had plenty of other plays we could have completed. Its not Henry. Im talking about just execution on offence period. We had plenty of opportunities." Austin said he hopes that his players learn from the setback leading up to their next game against the Montreal Alouettes on Sept. 21 in Moncton. "If we can take this as a learning process especially as it relates to mistakes, like penalties at inopportune times, like missed assignments, then weve got a chance," Austin said. "Well see how we respond. Its my job to get these guys up the curve from a maturity standpoint faster than we are right now." Despite the setback, Burris still has high expectations from the Ticats heading down the stretch run and leading up to the playoffs. "Weve got to get back to work and make sure were better," Burris said. "Weve got a special thing going here with this team. "We can win a Grey Cup with this team. Thats all Im focusing on. I could care less about myself. As long as we get victories thats all my focus is on." Ken Daneyko Devils Jersey . Next up is another showdown with Michigan.

The day began ominously for the Rangers when star pitcher Yu Darvish was scratched from his scheduled start with stiffness in his neck. Fill-in Scott Baker gave up three hits over six innings and Chris Gimenez hit a tiebreaking two-out RBI single in the sixth off Phil Hughes. But Soria (1-2) took his first blown save in nine chances with a shaky ninth inning patched together by the Twins, who ended their four-game losing streak. Oswaldo Arcia hit a one-out double off the wall in right-centre, just a few feet shy of where he homered off Baker in the second inning, and Eduardo Nunez tied the game with a two-out single. Then Nunez kept the rally alive with some nifty running. He moved up on the throw home that was up the line by right fielder Alex Rios. On a fielders choice grounder to Adrian Beltre, Nunez stopped short of the third basemans glove, scooted right and circled around to the bag before the tag. Then he scored the winning run when Santana ended the game with the softest of contact. Glen Perkins (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory, stranding Rios after a leadoff triple that Santana, normally a shortstop, appeared to misplay in centre field and couldnt catch after getting twisted around. Hughes had his winning streak stopped at five. Over his last five turns, he had a 1.08 ERA and a 27-0 strikeout-walk ratio. Aaron Hicks saved Hughes from a huge deficit by sprinting to the warning track and snagging the ball with a perfectly timed leap above and beyond the centre field wall to steal a three-run homer from Donnie Murphy, who settled for a sacrifice fly. Rougned Odor followed with an RBI doubble to get one of those runs back.dddddddddddd Shortstop Eduardo Escobar and left fielder Josh Willingham let a ball by Mitch Moreland bounce between them for a single to start the sixth. After giving up six runs in six innings in his only other start this season, last Friday at Detroit, Baker was supposed to resume a role as a long reliever. But he was in control the entire night. Baker was a second-round draft pick by the Twins in 2003 who spent five years in their rotation, including a 15-win season in 2009, but he developed elbow trouble and needed Tommy John ligament replacement surgery in 2012. So the last three years for the right-hander have been all about rehabilitation and re-establishing his place in the majors. The Rangers, who picked up Baker at the end of spring training, are his third team in two seasons. This was a stellar performance for him, even if hes bound to return to the bullpen soon. Baker didnt allow a walk and struck out four. He surrendered an RBI double to Joe Mauer with two outs in the third before retiring the last 10 batters he faced. NOTES: Rangers manager Ron Washington passed Bobby Valentine on the franchises all-time list for most games managed with 1,187. ... The Rangers will reinstate LHP Joe Saunders (0-1, 9.82) from the DL to start on Wednesday night, with RHP Kyle Gibson (4-4, 4.68 ERA) pitching for the Twins. ... Saunders was hit by a line drive on the left ankle in his first start on April 4, and after nearly two months of rehabilitation he will pitch with no restriction, Washington said. "The Minnesota Twins are going to tell us how limited hes going to be," he said. ... Gibson is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in four starts this year at home. ... Twins assistant GM Rob Antony said OF Sam Fuld, on the DL since May 8 due to concussion symptoms, has yet to resume on-field workouts, still lacking the three straight symptom-free days required for clearance.
