YANKEES
The Toronto Blue Jays score six in the second inning, capped by Adam Lind's three-run home run, as they beat the New York Yankees 8-3.
Chase Whitley gave up all eight runs in only 3 1/3rd innings pitched, as he was dealt his first loss of the season. Mark Teixeria had a solo home run in the fourth inning.
David Phelps will try to turn the tide tonight for the Yankees, who have lost three straight. He'll opposite Mark Buehrle for the Blue Jays.
METS
The Mets had a night off on Monday, but announced the return of Travis d'Arnaud.
d'Arnaud is expected to play tonight as the Mets begin a quick two-game interleague series against the Oakland Athletics. The A's come into town with the best record in baseball, and will have former Met 1st Round pick Scott Kazmir on the mound.
Kazmir has won the last three straight starts, including a seven inning affair on Thursday when he punched out eight Red Sox on the A's way to a 4-2 victory.
Bartolo Colon will take the mound for the Mets. In his last start, Colon started what has become a part of the clubhouse culture for the Mets - the towel rally wave. Mets players were seen waving those towels when Colon belted out a hit down the left field line in his last start in St. Louis for his first base hit since 2005. He would later score the tying run that helped lift the Mets to victory over the Cardinals.
It will be Zack Wheeler on the mound for the Mets on Wednesday, facing $1 man Brad Mills for the A's.
RED SOX
Felix Hernandez gets the run support he needs as the Seattle Mariners explode to a 12-3 win over the Boston Red Sox.
The Mariners used a six-run fourth inning to take the lead from the Red Sox for good, chasing starter John Lackey from the game after 3 2/3rds. He got tagged for seven runs, all earned, and Chris Capuano surrendered five runs.
Hernandez pitched seven innings, only giving up two runs while striking out six.

MISCELLANEOUS
Breaking this morning, LeBron James has opted out of his deal with the Miami Heat, making him a free agent.
And the Glens Falls Golden Eagles three game win streak is over after they fall to the Mohawk Valley Diamond Dogs 12-6. They travel to Amsterdam tonight to face the league's hottest team, the Amsterdam Mohawks. The Mohawks extended their win streak to nine last night, bouncing back from a 2-6 start.

Ryan Huska named Adirondack Flames Head Coach
This piece was edited to correct some typographical errors and to add more information.
Ryan Huska has been hired to lead the Adirondack Flames in their inaugural season, Brad Treliving announced to the media on Monday during a Calgary Flames press conference.
Huska comes from the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League. As head coach of the Rockets, he led them to the WHL Championship in 2009 before losing in the Memorial Cup finals. In seven seasons with the Rockets, Huska's record is 303-164-0-37, including a career best 57-11-0-4 last season.
Prior to Huska's venture as head coach, he was an assistant with the Rockets for five years, and have played in the American Hockey League with the Springfield Falcons and the Lowell Lock Monsters.
He played one game in the National Hockey League, with the Chicago Blackhawks during the 1997-98 season.
Huska has also captured a bronze and silver medal as the assistant coach with Team Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships.
"This is a significant hire for us," said Brad Treliving. "I couldn't be more happy for having him join our organization."
Huska replaces Troy Ward, who coached the Abbotsford Heat for three seasons. Troy Ward's squad in their last season in British Columbia made the playoffs after going 43-25-5-3, but lost in four games to Grand Rapids. With the move from British Columbia to Glens Falls, and with the Flames under new management, Ward's contract was not renewed.
Huska's first game with the Adirondack Flames in Glens Falls will be on Saturday, October 11th.
