MESA, Ariz. NCAA Jerseys . -- Michael Phelps tied the fourth-fastest time in the world this year swimming the 100-meter butterfly in his first competition in nearly two years. His comeback has gotten off to a strong start albeit with a much different approach than he took in winning 22 medals over three Olympics. After a 20-month retirement, Phelps resumed training last September with his longtime coach Bob Bowman at the North Baltimore Aquatic Center in his hometown. But he didnt pick up the grueling regimen that had ruled his life since he was a teenager. Phelps has slowly started back and now trains just once a day in the afternoon. No double or triple sessions or plowing through thousands of meters a day. Call this comeback Phelps 2.0. While his workload will go up eventually, for now Phelps is doing half the amount of training he did during the height of career, when he won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "Im sort of experimenting with stuff that I didnt have the guts to do before, like not swim as far," Bowman said. "Im very pleased with how hes doing." This relaxed approach appears to suit both Phelps and Bowman just fine. Their decades-long partnership -- rare in a sport where swimmers frequently change coaches -- survived fiery clashes as Phelps grew up and rebelled against Bowmans hard-nosed ways. "Our last several years together, it really wasnt much fun for everybody," the coach said. Without committing to specifics, Phelps seems intent on swimming fewer events and shorter races this time around. He turns 29 in June, and as the most decorated Olympian in history, his place in the record books is secure. "Im not putting any pressure on myself," he said. "Im just enjoying myself right now." At the Arena Grand Prix meet in Mesa, he competed in just two events -- the 100 fly (he finished second to Ryan Lochte) and the 50 freestyle, where he instead used a butterfly stroke and finished 42nd . Phelps time of 52.13 seconds in the 100 tied for fourth-quickest in the world this year. In his other event, he swam 50 metres of fly in 24.06, faster than his split time a day earlier in the 100 fly. His biggest challenge last fall was to lose the 30 pounds he had piled on since retiring after the 2012 Olympics. Hes gone from a high of 225 to 194 -- about seven more pounds than he raced at in London. "Hes not fat. Hes been pretty strong in the weight room," Bowman said. "Where hes lacking is aerobic fitness. Hes got a good start on it." Phelps figures to improve that aspect during upcoming high-altitude training in Colorado. Bowmans plan calls for Phelps to work his way up to recovering faster so he can handle multiple individual races a day and swim anywhere from one to three relays. But the coach said his star pupil will never go back to the grind he put in to win all those Olympic medals. "Hes much happier doing the training," Bowman said. "As long as hes enjoying it like he is, its good for everybody. Thats what I am concerned about." Phelps is entered in the last two Grand Prix meets of the season, in North Carolina in May and California in June. Those are tuneups for the U.S. national championships in August, where teams will be chosen for the Pan Pacific Championships later that month and next years world meet. "I know if I really want to compete at a high level, I have to be ready by this summer," he said. Whether all this leads to swimming at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Phelps remains mum. "I always have goals and things that I want to achieve," he said. "This has been an amazing journey that Ive gone on so far, and I just hope it continues." In Saturdays finals at Skyline Aquatic Center, Olympian Katie Ledecky won the 800 free in 8 minutes, 20.10 seconds. Katie Hoff, making her own comeback after taking time off, dropped 1.55 seconds from her preliminary time to win the 200 individual medley in 2:12.92. In mens races, Olympian Tyler Clary won the 200 fly in 2:00.39; Arkady Vyatchanin of Russia won the 100 backstroke in 54.40; and Darian Townsend of South Africa took the 200 IM in 2:02.07.

The 25-year-old Lu, a regular on the Japan LPGA Tour after giving up her LPGA Tour membership in 2010, shot an 8-under 64 in windy, wet conditions at Kintetsu Kashikojima.TORONTO -- Rajai Daviss speed was the undoing of the Boston Red Sox. Davis led off the 10th inning with a double and then scored on Brett Lawries hard hit to shortstop Stephen Drew as the Toronto Blue Jays snapped a three-game slide with a 4-3 win on Wednesday over Boston. "I was just looking to put it in play because I knew (Davis) was at third base and any ball you can put in play you know hes going to have a good chance to score," said Lawrie. "I choked up a bit and just tried to put it in play as best I could and ended up stinging it better than I thought I was going to." It was the second time in the game where Daviss speed on the basepaths earned Toronto (55-65) a run. The centre-fielder opened scoring in the third when he hit a sharp single to Bostons Jon Lester, where the pitcher fumbled the ball. Lesters throw to first went past Mike Napoli, letting Davis round second. Boston right-fielder Shane Victorino threw to third but the ball bounced off Davis and into foul territory, allowing the speedy Blue Jay to sprint home. "I was hoping I could just get to first. They made an errant throw and after that I just went to run," said Davis. "Honestly, I didnt know where the ball was. I heard our third-base coach (Luis) Rivera saying go, go, go! "OK, Im gone." Lester said that Daviss speed can generate errors because it makes defences hurry. "Obviously his speed makes you rush a little bit," the Red Sox starter said. "It would have been nice to keep him on third right there. The ball takes a bad hop and hits off him and scores the run." Davis went 3-for-5 and Edwin Encarnacion hit two doubles and scored a run for the Blue Jays. Esmil Rogers (3-7) pitched six innings with six strikeouts, five hits and an earned run. Reliever Brett Cecil ruined Rogers chance at a victory though, blowing Torontos 3-1 lead in the ninth inning. Brad Lincoln pitched an inning and a third in relief to earn the win for Toronto. Rogers, who started the season in the bullpen, was likely going to return to reliever duties after Wednesdays start. His strong performance against the Red Sox earned him a reprieve, however. "He was on the plate, he was making good pitches," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "It all comes down to putting the ball in a good spot. He was popping it pretty good tonight too, keeping it down. "We cant put him in the pen after that, can we?" Designated hitter David Ortiz hit a home run for Boston (72-50), while Lester (10-7) gave up three runs -- two earned -- and fanned three hitters over six and a third innings of work. Brandon Workman (3-2) pitched three innings for the Red Sox and took the loss. Davis drew cheers when he led off the bottom of the 10th with his second double of the game. He then advanced to third base on Jose Bautistas groundout to short. Workman intentionally walked Encarnacion to put runners on the corners. With Lawrie at the plate, Encarnacion stole second. Lawrie then hhit a sharp single off Drews glove to drive home Davis and end the game. Authentic NCAA Jerseys. "Kind of unfortunate, I thought I had a bead on it and at the very end it started taking off on me," said Drew. "It hit the very end of the web. At first off the bat, I thought I might be able to catch it out of the air real quick, but there was no shot. " The Blue Jays added to their 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth. Encarnacion hit a double up the third-base line and was driven in when Mark DeRosa hit a double to shallow right field. Both teams stranded runners in scoring position in the fifth inning, maintaining the Blue Jays 2-0 lead. Ortiz pulled Boston to within one on his home run to deep right field in the sixth inning. Encarnacion hit a second double to lead off the bottom of the sixth, and Lawrie reached first after being hit by a pitch. Encarnacion was moved to third when DeRosa grounded into a double play. J.P. Arencibia then doubled off the left-field wall to make it 3-1 for Toronto. Reliever Neil Wagner took the mound for the Blue Jays in the seventh, quickly retiring three Red Sox hitters. Boston manager John Farrell pulled Lester in the seventh in favour of Workman, who was dialled in for his first two innings of work. Wagner continued his efficient pitching in the eighth, retiring three Boston batters in quick succession. The right-handed pitcher threw two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Workman was also effective for the Red Sox, striking out Encarnacion and getting Lawrie to fly out to right field. Adam Lind pinch hit for DeRosa, drawing a walk. The inning ended when Arencibia struck out swinging. Cecil took the mound in the ninth and his first out was gifted to him when Ortiz -- not known for his speed -- tried to beat out a defensive shift by bunting. The lumbering DH was thrown out at first by Arencibia. Jonny Gomes reached base when he was hit by a pitch, but Cecil settled down to fan Drew. Napoli drove the ball over the right-field fence for a two-run shot and tied the game 3-3 with two out in the ninth. Cecil unravelled after that, giving up a double to Jarrod Saltalamacchia with Will Middlebrooks reaching first after being hit by a pitch. Cecil was pulled in favour of Lincoln after giving up a single to Jacoby Ellsbury. Lincoln got the Blue Jays out of the inning when Victorino flied out to left field. Lincoln stayed on the mound for the 10th, with Pedroia reaching base on Lawries fielding error to start the inning. After Ortiz flew out to left, Lincoln struck out Gomes and got Napoli to ground out to third, setting the stage for Lawries game-winning hit.

Bonifacio was traded to Kansas City earlier in the day for a player to be named later or cash, while Rasmus was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Pillar went 0 for 4 in his major league debut.
