afternoon in the second installment of this four-game series. Skaggs

MANCHESTER, England - Liverpool revived its faltering English Premier League campaign with a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion, while under-pressure Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was spared another demoralizing loss thanks to the latest brace from Papiss Cisse on Saturday. Jordan Henderson set up Liverpools opening goal by Adam Lallana, and grabbed the winner in the 61st minute with a shot from inside the area, lifting the anxiety around Anfield after the clubs run of three league games without victory. We needed to find a way to win today, said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, whose team has struggled to maintain the form of last season that swept it to a second-place finish. Liverpools problems are nothing compared to those of Newcastle, which remained winless this season after a 2-2 draw at Swansea. The pressure on Pardew would have been fierce with another defeat but he was helped out by two equalizers from Cisse, who also scored twice in a draw against Hull two weeks ago. Anybody who saw the game today will see the players gave everything, Pardew said. Theres a lot of pressure on us and its difficult to play. They only way to get through this is keep fighting. Sunderland beat Stoke 3-1, Hull defeated Crystal Palace 2-0, and Burnley scored through a 90th-minute free kick to draw 2-2 at Leicester in a match between two promoted clubs. Manchester City could put pressure on first-place Chelsea by beating Aston Villa in the late game. The memory of Liverpools surprise challenge for the league title last season is fading after an underwhelming start to this campaign, with its only previous victories coming in August. The performance against West Brom was unconvincing, too, with Daniel Sturridge still out injured and Mario Balotelli dropped to the bench. Crucial interventions from Henderson made the difference. The England midfielders clever flick played in Lallana, who converted his first goal for Liverpool to give the hosts the lead in the 45th. Saido Berahino equalized with a 56th-minute penalty he won from a challenge by Dejan Lovren that appeared to be made outside the area, but Henderson restored Liverpools lead with a goal that lifted the team into the top half of the standings. Its been frustrating, Rodgers said. We had to make changes in the summer to strengthen the squad and we missed a world-class striker (after Luis Suarezs departure to Barcelona). We will get better as we go on. Pardews unstable position has been one of the talking points of the first two months, and the draw at Swansea should keep him in situ over the upcoming international break. The sinking feeling for Newcastles disheartened fans returned when Wilfried Bony put Swansea ahead in the 17th but Cisse equalized by getting a touch on Gabriel Obertans cross to the near post. Gylfi Sigurdsson picked up another assist when he laid in Wayne Routledge for Swanseas second goal in the 51st, only for Cisse to rescue Newcastle with 15 minutes left. Its my job to try and lift the players and make sure theres fight in their belly, Pardew said. The confidence will get better and this will give us belief. Steven Fletcher scored twice to help Sunderland to its first win of the campaign, after Connor Wickham put the team ahead against Stoke, while second-half goals by Mohamed Diame and Nikica Jelavic gave Hull its first victory since the opening day of the season. Burnley broke its club record by going 10 hours 52 minutes without a goal before Michael Kightly equalized at Leicester to cancel out Jeffrey Schlupps opener. Riyad Mahrez restored the home sides lead but Ross Wallaces last-minute strike earned Burnley a point that lifted the team off the bottom of the table, where it is provisionally replaced by Queens Park Rangers.

"He had some good movement on his fastball," Blue Jays catcher Erik Kratz said of Skaggs. "There werent a lot of hard hits today." Cron stroked a solo shot in the third inning and singled home a run in the second, while Chris Iannetta smacked a two-run homer. "Tyler is really coming into his own. You can really see the maturation process," Iannetta said of his batterymate. "He just keeps getting better and hopefully he just keeps learning how to pitch and learning how to execute." Toronto starter J.A. Happ (1-1) lasted just 2 1/3 innings after giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk.
