PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Brett Lawrie hit his first homer of the spring and the Toronto Blue Jays held AL East rival Tampa Bay Rays to just three hits in a 5-0 victory Friday. Erik Bedard, in his final bid to earn the Rays fifth rotation spot, struggled through 5 2-3 innings. He gave up four runs over 94 pitches, walking one and striking out four. Bedard is in a three-way competition with LHP Cesar Ramos and RHP Jake Odorizzi. Manager Joe Maddon said the decision on the fifth starter will come Saturday morning. "The other guys Im competing with are really good, (so) Im sure its a hard decision to make," Bedard said. "Theyre probably going to crunch some numbers and go with their gut feeling, and well see. When you dont have a guaranteed deal, you have to compete." Bedard signed a minor league deal with the Rays in February. As recently as March 18, he said he would opt out of his contract if he doesnt make the starting rotation, but he appeared to relax his position Friday. "Competition is always fun, but I guess everyone is ready to know," Bedard said. "I feel good, and maybe the numbers dont show, but they show for Ramos, who had a very good spring. Well have to see because I dont make the decision." Bedard has a 6.88 ERA over 17 innings with 13 strikeouts and two walks, while Odorizzi has a 3.75 ERA over 12 innings with eight strikeouts and six walks. Ramos has the best numbers of the competition: a 2.63 ERA over 13 1-2 innings with 11 strikeouts and a walk. "Its not easy," Maddon said. "Theyve all represented themselves extremely really well. We just got to try and figure out how this thing fits and whos going to give us the best chance to win coming out of the gate." STARTING TIME Rays: Opening-day starter David Price threw 106 pitches in a simulated game vs. minor league hitters Friday morning. Price pitched into the eighth inning and said he didnt reach a three-ball count until the last hitter in the seventh. "Curveball was extremely sharp -- it was a good day," Price said. "It was essentially a game, minus an anthem, walkout songs and umpires. Guys were out there trying to get on base and steal. It was good." Jays: Aaron Sanchez, the teams 21-year-old top pitching prospect who hasnt been above Class A, looked sharp in his first start of the spring Friday, throwing 5 1-3 scoreless innings, while giving up just three hits, walking three and striking out two over 69 pitches. Sanchez has a perfect 0.00 ERA over 12 1-3 innings of this spring, but will probably be sent to Double-A New Hampshire. "I wont be disappointed if thats what happens," Sanchez said. "Ill go there and keep working to get better." NAVARRO BACK IN AL EAST When the Blue Jays signed journeyman catcher Dioner Navarro to a two-year, $8 million deal in December, they put faith in the former Tampa Bay Rays All-Star would be able to catch more than a 100 games, something he hasnt done since 2009. "Im 100 per cent sure I can play all season," he said. "Physically, mentally and spiritually feel ready and they obviously have faith that I can, too." Navarro will be seeing familiar faces back in the AL East, and for Maddon, thats a good and bad thing. "He helped us become the Rays," Maddon said. "As a young player, he was very calm through some stressful situations and threw out some good baserunners in some big moments. I like him. Ive always like him and really happy its worked out well for him, though not liking that hes in our division now against us." Last season, Navarro started 89 games for the Chicago Cubs, hitting 13 homers with a .300 average. He knows coming back to the AL East will be a challenge. "Everyone always talks about the (AL) East -- always have, so its no different (to be back)," Navarro said. "You have to have your A game every day." TRAINERS ROOM Rays: Juan Carlos Oviedo said he wont be ready by opening day because of his visa issues getting into the country. Oviedo said hes feeling good and expects to pitch Sunday vs. Boston in Fort Myers. . Matt Joyce received more treatment for his stiff neck, and Maddon said he was uncertain about when he will return to the lineup. . Jose Molina has not played in the previous two games, but Maddon says its not injury related.

LOUIS -- Russell Martin wanted a better fate for his starting pitcher and helped deliver a happier ending.Nico Rosberg has opened up on how much he respects Lewis Hamilton and the greatest satisfaction he gets from beating his Mercedes team-mate - but admits its too much for the pair to be friends. The Mercedes drivers, currently locked in a fierce title battle with Rosberg just one point ahead of Hamilton, have battled throughout their racing careers - from karting to F1 - and are now on their final warning before team orders are imposed having crashed twice this season.Rosberg, who claimed the first four races in 2016 but has won only once since, spoke to The Guardian about the Brit after the disappointment of a demotion to third place and a Hamilton victory at the British GP. Wolff: Red Bull a major threatBeating Lewis … hes one of the sweetest opponents. the German said. Hes one of those opponents where you get the greatest satisfaction from beating him because hes world champion.I have huge respect for him but, well, were not best friends at the moment. Thats the difficulty between us now. Were just both so competitive and that makes it difficult to be friends because the competition is so extreme. It was the same back then. How many pizzas could we eat? Who could run fastest from the lift to the hotel room? It would be competition all the way but there was not the surrounding influence with a team, the media and money. That makes it difficult now.I do recognise his achievements. Hes done some great things and hes been beating me. I have to fight back and thats the awesome challenge.Whens the Hungarian GP on Sky?Rosbergs streak, seven in total when counting his end-of-2015 run, now appears a distant memory with Hamilton stating he feels fresh, powerful and confident after securing back-to-back wins.But the former Williams driver believes his team-mates wave is coming to an end and is doing his all to stay positive amid a barren spell. Marc Priestly thinks Lewis Hamiltons comments in the media may be affecting Nico Rosbergs performance on the track If I focused on points and championships Id be massively disappointed because I was 40-whatever points ahead and now its one, but Im not focusing on it, Rosberg explained.dddddddddddd.Momentum does play a role. Weve seen it with Lewis and I from 2014. Weve always gone in waves. Its strange but it must be time for his wave to be ending now. But, yeah, its difficult to have a race like Silverstone. Second place - I could have lived with that but to lose points and finish third? Thats tough.While Hamilton is aiming to join the pantheon of four-time world champions, Rosberg is still looking for his first. But when asked if this was his best chance, he added: I dont think of it that way. Its just a great opportunity. Of course it helps for motivation when youre fighting for wins. If we were 12th and 13th its not the same. Fighting for the title is incredibly intensive. The actual driving doesnt change much but its such a difficult situation because youre racing together and, at the same time, against each other. Thats a unique challenge.Its very difficult to find the right line. I have a duty for the team and for them its so important to win the constructors title but where is the line to my ego and what I want? Its always difficult.My dream is to win the world championship and Im fighting for that. Im giving it everything.Watch the Hungarian GP live on Sky Sports F1.
