by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:52 pm ET) Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner hit his first home run of May in Friday's win over the Rays. He went 1 for 4 with a walk and two RBI in the game.

Gardner has hit .254/.328/.401 with four home runs and nine stolen bases in 177 at-bats this year. He'll remain a key part of the offense with Curtis Granderson sidelined for upwards of a month.

The right-hander was charged with three runs and seven hits over six innings of work. He struck out nine and walked one on 110 pitches.

Medlen has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last five starts. He is 0-2 with a 3.06 ERA over that span. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against Toronto. He is 0-2 with a 2.08 ERA in four starts at Turner Field.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

Hefner has yet to win a decision through his first 10 starts. He is expected to make his next start Wednesday against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. He is 0-3 with a 6.55 ERA in five appearances (four starts) away from home.

Cubs want more velocity from Edwin Jackson
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:38 pm ET) Cubs manager Dale Sveum told MLB.com Friday he wants to see pitcher Edwin Jackson throw with more conviction and be at maximum velocity throughout his entire outing.

Jackson allowed four runs on six hits in three innings as his start was cut short by rain Thursday afternoon. There have been no discussions about taking Jackson out of the rotation.

"You've got a commitment there. You've got to stick with the commitment and coach them and teach," Sveum said. "It's not like he's a kid. He's a veteran player. Sometimes you just have to do it yourself. People play in the big leagues a long time. Sometimes you just have to do the things to get better yourself."
Roberto Hernandez tagged for five runs
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(10:33 pm ET) Rays starting pitcher Roberto Hernandez surrendered five earned runs in four innings Friday against the Yankees, allowing six hits and three walks while striking out three. It was the second-straight game that Hernandez was able to pitch more than four innings while allowing five earned runs.

Hernandez (2-5) will take a 5.73 ERA into a meeting with the Marlins Wednesday, unless he's pulled him from the rotation.
