KISSIMMEE, Fla. Corentin Tolisso Jersey . -- Halfway through his six spring training appearances, R.A. Dickey feels like an old pitcher with a new beginning. "Its like getting to start over and do it the right way. You feel like youre getting a chance to reboot," Dickey said Sunday after pitching five shutout innings for the Toronto Blue Jays in a 4-3 exhibition loss to the Houston Astros. "It makes you somewhat regret not being able to invest the time that was really needed last year." Dickeys first spring with the Blue Jays was interrupted by the World Baseball Classic. A year after winning the NL Cy Young Award with the New York Mets in 2012, he went 4-7 through May with a 5.18 ERA. "You dont know that in the moment, and youre getting to do a really fantastic honour," he recalled, "but having spent a lot of time with my guys on the team and getting to prepare my body, (this spring) just feels normal." Dickey threw 82 pitches in five innings in his third spring start, giving up four hits and a walk while striking out four. He plans to get up to 95-100 pitches in his next two starts, then perhaps dial it back for his final spring outing before pitching in the season-opening series at Tampa Bay. "Being older, I know what I need to do to prepare, and this is one of the things that helps me feel confident when I take the mound, knowing that Ive gone deep in games in the spring," he said. "That way when it happens during the season Im able to do it right from the get-go and not have to build into it. It works for me. Everybodys different." Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Perez drove in runs for the Astros in the eighth inning off losing pitcher Jeremy Jeffress. Jason Castro hit a two-run homer for the Astros in the sixth. The Blue Jays took a 3-2 lead in the eighth on a play in which the Astros lost a replay challenge for the second straight day. Steve Tolleson beat a close play at the plate, scoring on a double by Erik Kratz. "If its that close, then its definitely worth challenging because theres no telling what angle they may end up getting that can actually overturn it," Houston manager Bo Porter said. STARTING TIME BLUE JAYS: Asked about the diminished expectations for the Blue Jays this season, Dickey deadpanned: "I think were terrible, and I dont want anybody to take us seriously. I think because of last year, were probably going to get walked all over every game." ASTROS: Rudy Owens, a 26-year-old left-hander who has yet to pitch in the major leagues, matched zeroes with Dickey for three innings, giving up one hit. "I never faced that calibre of hitters, but its something Ive dealt with and Ive been doing for my entire career," he said. "Its time for me to step up and I did." TRAINERS ROOM Toronto manager John Gibbons on the post-Tommy John surgery outlook of pitcher Drew Huthison: "You dont even think of Tommy John; modern medicine is so good. Its almost like when you draft these guys and sign em, do Tommy John right away because sometimes they end up better than they were to begin with." NICE IMPRESSION Kratz drove in two runs with a single and a double while catching Dickeys knuckleball for five innings. "Calling knuckleballs is an anxious proposition so hes got to navigate that some. He did a good job," Dickey said. Niklas Sule Bayern Munich Jersey .

A rainy day saw the former champion Djokovic handle 14th-seeded Frenchman Jo- Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) under the roof on the famed Centre Court.SYDNEY - The second set of group matches kicks off Tuesday at the Asian Cup, with host Australia against Oman at Sydney and two-time champion South Korea playing Kuwait in Canberra.Heres some things to watch in the Group A matches:AUSTRALIA vs. OMAN (0900 GMT): Australia opened the Asian Cup last Friday with a resounding 4-1 win over Kuwait in Melbourne, a confidence-boosting start to the tournament for the hosts after conceding a surprising early goal.Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will be forced into changes against Oman, though, with skipper Mile Jedinak struggling with an injured left ankle. Veteran Tim Cahill, Australias leading international goalscorer, will lead the team in Jedinaks absence.Oman had a 1-0 loss to South Korea in its opening match in Canberra, narrowly missing a stoppage-time equalizer that would have earned the team a valuable point.Postecoglou said hed heed the lessons learned at the World Cup in Brazil — when the Socceroos took Chile and Netherlands right to the wire before a lopsided loss to 2010 champion Spain in their last group match — and rotate his players in the preliminaries rather than going into later matches with a fatigued starting lineup. Australia and South Korea meet in the last group match on Saturday.Weve learnt pretty clearly at the World Cup by the third game we were pretty spent as a group because we relied on a core group of players, Postecoglou said. We dont want to fall into the same trap. We want to do well in all three games and (Oman) is a very, very important game for us.Postecoglou said Oman made it tough for South Korea, and he expected his lineup to confront a similar bustling, counter-attacking game.While (South) Korea dominated the chances and possession you saw right up until the last minute the game was in the balance, Postecoglou said. They are always a tough opponent for us.Centre back Trent Sainsbury said three points against Oman would give Australia every chance of progressing.We got off to a great start against Kuwait, but this is equally as important, if not more so, he said. If we get that three points, then were through. Its a massive game for Australia. Were at home, weeve got a point to prove. Manuel Neuer Jersey. ___KUWAIT vs. SOUTH KOREA (0700 GMT): Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-Yuengs is expected to be central to South Koreas push for back-to-back group wins.Coach Uli Stielike is demanding improvement from his South Korea lineup, which dominated possession and had considerably more chances against Oman but had to settle for a 1-0 win, courtesy of Cho Young-cheols goal in first-half stoppage time. Oman didnt get a shot on goal until substitute Amad Al Hosnis header in injury hit the crossbar.Stielike said the two-time champions were under intense pressure in South Korea to improve on the semifinals appearances at the last two Asian Cups. He said he saw positive signs in the second-half against Oman.I prefer a hard, tough match in our opening game so we can learn from our mistakes and get better and better in the tournament, he said. I feel thats better than winning 5-0 and then everyone thinks you can win the Cup and you get smaller and smaller instead.There was some doubt over the fitness of defender Kim Chang-soo and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Lee Chung-yong, who were both injured during the opening match.Normally the players know one day before the game the starting lineup (but) in this case its not like this, Stielike said. Not because I dont want to give it to them, but at the moment we dont know what players are ready.And despite Kuwaits lopsided opening loss to 2011 finalist Australia, Stielike said the team had South Koreas full attention.I dont consider Kuwait a weak side, he added. I know some people believe South Korea will have an easy time against Kuwait, but I will tell my players to be careful.Kuwait went into the tournament opener with limited preparation under new coach Nabil Maaloul, who is hoping to have attacking options Bader Al Mutawa and Yousef Naser fit and ready to start.Team spokesman Nawaf Al Enezi said the players had put the loss to Australia behind them.Against Australia we played well, and created a lot of chances, and the players sprit was high, he said. We know the Korean style, and I hope we can play with the style that (Maaloul) wants and get a good result.
