June 3 at Safeco Field in Seattle, WA

Masahiro Tanaka is back.
Tanaka made his first start since April 23 and was outstanding, holding the Mariners to three hits in seven innings in a 3-1 Yankees' win. Tanaka struck out nine (seven looking) and retired the final 13 batters he faced as New York completed the three-game sweep. Only in the third, when Seattle scored its only run on Dustin Ackley's double, did the right-hander struggle at all. That inning ended with the Mariners tying the game at 1-1, but with the potential go-ahead run (Ackley) being thrown out at the plate by Ramon Flores.
Flores hasn't hit at all since being called up from Triple-A Scranton, but that was his second outfield assist in about a week.
Garrett Jones followed yesterday's dramatic, three-run home run in the 11th inning with a two-run shot in the fourth that ended up being the difference. Jones took an inside pitch from Taijuan Walker and hammered it to right-center field. He had just one home run coming into Tuesday night.
Nicknames that aren't really nicknames
Logan Morrison - "Lo Mo"
Why it isn't a nickname: because they just took the first two letters of his first and last name and combined them. That isn't a nickname.
