BALTIMORE -- Navys triple option will have to rely on spare parts Saturday against Army, a less-than-ideal position for a team seeking to beat its biggest rival for the 15th time in a row.Record-setting quarterback Will Worth and slot back Toneo Gulley both sustained season-ending foot injuries last week in the American Athletic Conference championship, a 34-10 loss to Temple.Sophomore Zach Abey will get his first college start at quarterback in the most important game of the year for Navy (9-3) and seldom-used Calvin Cass Jr. will replace Gulley, the teams co-captain and third-leading rusher.You dont want to make excuses, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said Tuesday, but its not the most ideal situation.Not only that, but the Midshipmen have only one week to prepare. Army (6-5), in contrast, hasnt played since Nov. 19.When Navy joined the AAC two years ago, it was well aware of the possibility of this happening. Having just one week to get ready for Army is bad enough, but losing two key players in the title game made things a whole lot worse.Obviously youd like some time between games, Niumatalolo said. You dont want your big rivalry game after a championship game, but what can you do? Youve just got to make the best of it.Army coach Jeff Monken fully understands Navys plight. The third-year coach experienced a severe paring of his defensive backfield because of injuries and the death of Brandon Jackson , who was killed in a car crash in September.The Black Knights have two converted safeties at cornerback: freshmen Jaylon McClinton and Elijah Riley.Weve lost our four top corners, Monken lamented. You call most defensive coordinators around the country and tell them Im going to take away your top four corners, and they couldnt function as a defense. So, everybody is feeling that this time of year.Still, Monken feels compassion for Worth and Gulley, seniors who will miss their last chance to fulfill the battle cry, Beat Army!I feel terrible for the guys that got injured in that last game, Monken said. Those kids have had great seasons. They mean so much to their team, and playing in this game means so much to them. Its tough to lose players like that, but Kenny does such a great job that hell have somebody step in at each one of those positions and theyll be ready to go.Abey will be the third quarterback to play for Navy this season. Tago Smith won the job in the preseason but tore his right ACL in the second quarter of the opener against Fordham. He was replaced by Worth, who had an NCAA-high 25 rushing touchdowns and set a school record with 2,595 yards in total offense before breaking a bone in his foot last Saturday.Now its up to Abey to direct the triple option in a glaring spotlight.It is going to be a big responsibility and I will be up for it, he said.Playing from behind, Abey went 7 for 13 for 104 yards and two interceptions against Temple. Against Army, as always, Navy will focus primarily on running the ball.Obviously, youre going to have to tweak the playbook for what he does, Niumatalolo said. But hes been running the second huddle all season, so he knows what we do. Weve got to do what makes us successful, but weve got to also play to his strengths.Gulley ran 43 times in 2016, averaging a whopping 9.9 yards per carry and scoring four touchdowns.He was a star on field and will be a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps after graduation. On Tuesday, he had his leg on a scooter with a Lisfranc injury.Its a big disappointment, Gulley said. I embrace my new role as being a mentor for the guys who are actually going to be playing in the game.

TORONTO -- Aaron Sanchez wasnt feeling too good for his start against Kansas City. It was hard to tell from the way he pitched.Sanchez overcame flu-like symptoms to work eight innings and win his eighth straight decision, Josh Donaldson and Darwin Barney each hit two-run singles in a four-run seventh and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 on Monday night.Troy Tulowitzki had two hits, his third multi-hit game in the past four, as the Blue Jays won a rematch of last years ALCS, which Kansas City won in six games.Sanchez (9-1) has not lost since April 22, against Oakland. He allowed one run and three hits and matched the longest start of his career.Its just starting to come together for him, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. I think hes going to get even better and better.Sanchez also gave up one run in eight innings at Colorado in his previous start.He threw the ball extremely well, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Good downhill action on a 95 mile per hour fastball, good curveball. He just threw a great game.Sanchez retired the first seven batters he faced and held the Royals hitless until Cheslor Cuthberts two-out single to center in the fifth. The next hitter, Alcides Escobar, grounded out.Thats the name of the game, trying to get these guys back into the dugout as fast as I can, Sanchez said. When you can do that you kind of keep a flow of things.Michael Saunders gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead with an RBI groundout off Edinson Volquez in the first.Toronto nearly doubled its lead in the fourth but Alex Gordon threw out Edwin Encarnacion trying to score from second on Kevin Pillars two-out single to left.When (Gordon) first got that ball I thought hes got no shot at throwing (Encarnacion) out, Yost said. All of a sudden, boom, here we go. He came up firing. It was a fantastic throw.Kansas City tied it when KKendrys Morales homered off Sanchez to begin the seventh, his 15th.dddddddddddd Morales has hit five home runs in his past five games.Volquez (7-8) left after the first three batters reached to load the bases in the bottom half. Luke Hochevar came on and walked Devon Travis to bring in the go ahead run. Barney followed with a two-run single.That was the whole game, Volquez said. I got myself in trouble in that inning.Volquez allowed four runs and four hits in six-plus innings. He is winless in three starts, allowing 15 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings.After Ezequiel Carrera advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt, Donaldson lined a two-run single to right, making it 6-1.Eric Hosmer hit a two-out homer off Brett Cecil in the ninth, his 13th.EARLY RETURNSThe Blue Jays have scored in the first inning in each of their past three games.TOUGH TIME WITH TORONTOVolquez is 0-5 with a 6.38 ERA in seven career starts against the Blue Jays.END OF THE LINEDonaldson had reached safely in nine straight plate appearances before grounding out in the third.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Yordano Ventura has a Grade 1 sprain of his right ankle but hopes to make his next start, Friday against Seattle, Yost said. Ventura left Sundays start after he was injured running the bases.Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada received multiple cortisone injections in his sore lower back and expects to make his next start, Thursday against Detroit.UP NEXTRoyals: RHP Chris Young (2-7, 6.24) is 0-5 with a 8.53 ERA in six road starts.
