Australia has been labelled as a country at the fringes of civilisation by a state-linked Chinese newspaper in the wake of the Mack Horton stoush with Sun Yang.The Global Times pointed to Australias convict past in an open editorial, also questioning Hortons relevance and ethics after he called out Yang as a drug cheat.Its not a big deal to us, the open-editorial piece read.In many serious essays written by Westerners, Australia is mentioned as a country at the fringes of civilisation.In some cases, they refer to the countrys early history as Britains offshore prison.This suggests that no one should be surprised at uncivilised acts emanating from the country.The paper also lashed out at the Australian media for carrying Hortons immoral disruption.We dont know if it is Horton who is silly or its the Australian media that is evil, or perhaps Australia just has a different moral standard, it said.The message sent is abnormal and aberrant.Horton has gained the backing of the Australian Olympic Committee and team boss Kitty Chiller after he said he had no time or respect for drug cheats on beating Yang to the wall in the 400m freestyle final.Mack obviously has very strong views about the need for clean sport, as every single one of us does, she said.We have no intention of making an apology.The 20-year-old also claimed his victory as a win for the good guys, however it did little to please Chinese authorities or the countrys swim team manager, Xu Qi.We think his inappropriate words greatly hurt the feelings between Chinese and Australian swimmers, he said, according to Chinas party-controlled news agency, Xinhua.It is proof of a lack of good manners and upbringing. We strongly demand an apology from this swimmer.Sun copped a three-month ban for testing positive to trimetazidine, a substance normally used to treat angina, in 2014 - however his ban was not announced by Chinese authorities until after it had ended.The swimmer claimed he was unaware it was on the banned list, and argued it had been prescribed to him to treat heart palpitations.

Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.(Sports Network) - The Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays will close out a four-game weekend series on Sunday afternoon at the Rogers Centre. Baltimore captured its second straight win in the series on Saturday, holding on for a 6-5 victory. It got things started off quickly in the bottom of the first inning by putting up three runs and led rest of the way. Adam Jones and Danny Valencia each homered for the second straight game. J.J. Hardy had two hits and two RBI, and Chris Davis knocked in another run to add to an RBI total that ranks second in the majors (46). "I just see the ball good here," said Jones, who now has 11 career homers at Rogers Centre. "I dont think its anything in particular. Its just baseball." The Orioles 68 home runs are the most in majors, with nine of those long balls coming in the first three games of this series. Freddy Garcia (1-2) earned his first win in an Orioles uniform, surrendering nine hits and two earned runs in five innings. Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 15th save. For the Blue Jays, R.A. Dickeys (4-6) disappointing season continued. He lasted 6 2/3 innings, but he was roughed up for nine hits and six runs, raising his ERA to 4.85 in the process. "The journey is always ongoing but I certainly havent felt like I did last year," Dickey said. "Theres some concrete reasons for that and theeres some reasons I need to iron out in the bullpen between outings.dddddddddddd" Adam Lind and Jose Bautista each collected three hits for the home team, while Emilio Bonifacio belted his second home run of the year. On Sunday, the Orioles will call on Miguel Gonzalez, who is 2-2 with a 4.25 ERA. He most recently had his strongest outing of the season, allowing five hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out five in seven innings of work in a no-decision against the Yankees on May 21. Despite his modest numbers, Gonzalez has been a consistently reliable cog in the Orioles rotation. The right-hander has pitched into sixth inning in all seven starts and has yet to allow more than four earned runs in any outing. Gonzalez earned one of his two wins against the Blue Jays back on April 23, yielding five hits and three earned runs over six innings. Toronto will counter with Chad Jenkins, who was recalled in early May but has made just one appearance since. He made it count however, earning a win against the Red Sox on May 12, allowing two earned runs over five innings. Jenkins began the season on the DL in the minors and made just one start at Double-A New Hampshire before his call to the big club. The 2009 first-round pick made 13 appearances for the Blue Jays in 2012, going 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA. Baltimore took two of three from the Jays earlier in the year. ' ' '
