Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.TORONTO - Brett Lawrie started at third base in Thursdays series opener with the Houston Astros. Hell remain there for the rest of the season. Most likely. "There might be a time we put him (at second base,") said manager John Gibbons. "Watching that game (Wednesday) night, the plays he makes, hes always been good but there may be a time we play DeRosa (at third.) We always have the right to change our minds." "Wherever the team needs me, Im more than willing to go," said Lawrie before a 4-0 win over the Astros, which snapped the Blue Jays season-high losing streak at seven games. "I guess, third base, me going back and forth, for me, it doesnt really matter, Ill go play second, Ill play anywhere. If you have the guys, people like Maicer (Izturis,) he plays second base, hes played it for quite some time. Ive played third for quite some time so to switch it up every now and then, maybe if hes not in the game, Ill go over there. Its really not my call. Wherever they need me to go, Im willing to go but I like third base. Third base is a good spot for me." Lawries simply repeating his earlier stance. The 23-year-old, battling through an injury-plagued and otherwise inconsistent season, just wants to play. What he needs is a set position and an opportunity to narrow his focus. The Blue Jays believe so much in Lawries athletic ability that an eventual switch isnt out of the question. Gibbons says, speaking hypothetically but in all seriousness, he believes Lawrie would be an effective shortstop or outfielder. Hoowever, an in-season transition is a lot to ask.dddddddddddd Lawrie made two errors, one fielding and one throwing, in six games at second. "I feel fine over there at second base," said Lawrie. "Its not a question of if Im uncomfortable or not. Im not uncomfortable over there at all. Its just about getting reps and going over there and consistently play but if I dont get a chance to do that, then going back and forth, Ive never been a utility guy, Ive never bounced around from here to here to here and back. If I get a chance to play in a spot that Im good at, then I like to play that spot. If it helps the team out, then thats what Im there to do." Morrow gets diagnosis Starter Brandon Morrow, who last pitched for the Blue Jays on May 28, has been diagnosed with an entrapped radial nerve in his right forearm. The prognosis is rest for six weeks. Morrow will be allowed to begin a throwing program when hes pain-free, whenever that its. "We were hoping he was on the upswing but that hasnt happened," said Gibbons. "He was starting to feel better but hes still not right. He got looked at (Wednesday) and they think its possibly a nerve issue in his arm because through the MRIs, hes had a couple of them, there was nothing structurally they could pinpoint so naturally they think it has something to do with a nerve." Its unlikely Morrow will begin to throw until the second week of September, making it hard to imagine a scenario which would put him in a major league game before the end of the season. ' ' '
