KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The contending Kansas City Royals quickly moved to fill a gap, getting infielder Jamey Carroll in a trade with the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The Twins will receive either a player to be named or cash for the 39-year-old veteran. Earlier in the day, the Royals put Miguel Tejada on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right calf. The 39-year-old Tejada, who hurt himself diving for a ball on Saturday, was hitting .288 in 53 games and had won the starting second base job. Carroll singled and scored for the Twins in their 5-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. He is hitting .230 with nine RBIs. "If I can go there and contribute in a positive way, I know the team is playing extremely well right now and they have a bunch of good young guys and some great pitching," Carroll said. "It should be exciting to get over there and get in that clubhouse." Royals manager Ned Yost was eager to have him. "Jamey Carroll is a pros pro," Yost said after the Royals beat Boston 4-3. "Hes a very solid player. He hits left-handed pitching very well. He can play second, third and short in that order. Those are about his best positions. Hell give you a real quality at-bat." "Miguels injury kind of put a hole over there right now for us," he said. "Well play him at second. When Moose (third baseman Mike Moustakas) needs a break, we can play him at third. Hes a very proficient third baseman, too." The Twins will make a corresponding roster move on Monday. "As much as anything, this is a deal for Jamey Carroll to go on a team thats in a playoff race and go over there and add his professionalism and experience to that club and give them an opportunity to get into a race," Twins assistant GM Rob Antony said.

One moment she was on the ice taking a shot, the next she was lifting the Toronto Furies first Clarkson Cup. Smith scored in overtime Saturday as the Furies shut out the Boston Blades 1-0. She struggled to describe how it happened. "I honestly dont even remember how we got in their end," Smith said as she held back her emotion. "But the puck went from (Natalie) Spooner behind the net over to Prevo (Caroline Prevost), I saw some ice in front of me, skated ahead, got a perfect pass on the tape. I shot high-blocker and it just twirled in. "Once I saw it cross the line, hands in the air and that was it." The sixth Canadian womens hockey league championship was the first time Toronto (3-1) and Boston (3-1) met in the championship game and the only time the Furies qualified for the final in club history.

The Boston-Toronto rivalry was in full effect as both teams fought hard to the finish. Spooner, who scored the shootout winner in Fridays victory over the number-one ranked Stars, was named the tournaments most valuable player.
