MLB news: Jays\u2019 Reyes avoids dubious record<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Toronto Blue Jays starter Jo-Jo Reyes avoided quite an embarrassing honor last night. Without a victory, his personal winless streak would\u2019ve hit 29 stats and set a new major-league record. But Reyes rose to the occasion, tossing his first career complete game as the Jays beat the Cleveland Indians 11-1.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Royals have seen enough of Joakim Soria in the closer\u2019s role. He blew a save for the second straight day and third time in four appearances on Monday, serving up a two-run homer to Torii Hunter as the Angels rallied to beat K.C. Youngster Aaron Crow will take over ninth-inning duties for now.<\/p>\n

Could Francisco Liriano\u2019s struggles on the hill with the Minnesota Twins this season be due to shoulder inflammation? The Twins placed their \u201cace\u201d on the DL Monday. He is just 3-5 with a 5.73 ERA during a horrible season for Minny.<\/p>\n

Another fallen star whose struggles may be because of a hidden injury: Hanley Ramirez. The Marlins shortstop admitted yesterday that he had been playing through back pain for a while. He said \u201cit\u2019s the worst pain I\u2019ve had in my life\u201d and that he couldn\u2019t even put his shoes on.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Dwight Howard to stay in Orlando? Mark Jackson to coach Warriors? J.R. Smith arrested for scootering<\/strong><\/p>\n

Could D12 be staying in Orlando after all? Reportedly, Dwight Howard isn\u2019t resigned to leaving the team as a free agent just yet. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to run behind nobody like Shaq or be behind someone else,\u201d Howard said, referring to the possibility that he would leave Orlando for a big market just like Shaquille O\u2019Neal did. \u201cI want to start my own path and I want people to follow my path and not just follow somebody else\u2019s path.\u201d He did suggest, however, that he needs a better supporting cast to succeed in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Could Mark Jackson be the Golden State Warriors\u2019 next head coach? The former 18-year NBA veteran is reportedly on the team\u2019s shortlist. Jackson, a point guard, is third on the NBA\u2019s all-time assists list.<\/p>\n

Denver Nuggets guard-forward J.R. Smith was arrested this week for scootering. Yes, scootering. Police picked him up in Miami this weekend for operating a scooter without a valid license. Sigh. He wasn\u2019t taken to jail for the offense.<\/p>\n

NHL news: Atlanta-to-Winnipeg move done for real this time? Conference final ratings explode<\/strong><\/p>\n

After True North Sports and Entertainment signed the agreement to purchase the Atlanta Thrashers with intent to move the franchise to Winnipeg, it appears the move is truly complete. Canada just got an NHL team back. The news should officially break at some point today.<\/p>\n

The NHL playoffs are hot on TV at the moment. Friday night\u2019s Game-7 battle between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins was the highest-rated conference final game in nine years and the biggest audience ever on Versus for a non-Stanley Cup contest.<\/p>\n
