NEW YORK -- Jason Bay is back on the disabled list with his second concussion in two years. . The New York Mets placed their oft-injured left fielder on baseballs seven-day DL for concussions Saturday and activated infielder Justin Turner from the 15-day disabled list. After missing six weeks this season with a broken rib, Bay was hurt again Friday night when he crashed into the outfield wall while trying to catch Jay Bruces inside-the-park home run for Cincinnati. Mets manager Terry Collins said Bay has been told to stay home and rest for a couple of days until hes examined by doctors. Collins isnt sure how long Bay will be sidelined but expects it to be more than seven days. Bay missed the final two months of the 2010 season with a concussion he sustained slamming into the left-field fence to make a catch at Dodger Stadium. "Im very worried about it because Jasons first one was pretty severe and he hit the wall pretty hard yesterday," Collins said. "Hes pretty sore today. Real sore. So were just going to have to, again, bide our time and see how he comes out of it in the next few days and see how he feels." Its the latest setback for Bay, a pricey bust in New York due to injuries and a lack of production at the plate. The three-time All-Star signed a $66 million, four-year contract with the Mets in January 2010 after setting career highs with 36 homers and 119 RBIs for Boston in 2009. But he played only 95 games in his first season with New York and 123 last year. He has missed 44 out of 66 games this year, leaving him with just 22 homers and 110 RBIs in two-plus seasons with the Mets. The 33-year-old Bay is batting .187 with four home runs and six RBIs. He was on the disabled list from April 24 until June 6 with a broken rib and went 2 for 25 with a home run after being activated. A week after returning to the lineup, he got hurt again. Bay is not the only Mets player with a history of head injuries. New York catcher Josh Thole has also had multiple concussions, one of which landed him on the disabled list from May 8-31. "I know what hes feeling. I know what hes going through. Its not easy," Thole said. "It gets scarier because you go sit in the doctors office and the doctor tells you you could be one away if you have a serious one. Its stuff you dont want to hear." Scott Hairston was set to start in left field Saturday night against the Reds. Collins said hell "mix and match" in the outfield while Bay is out, and the backups on the bench are versatile enough that the Mets can stick with what they have on the roster right now. Turner had been on the DL since May 29 with a sprained right ankle. He played two rehab games at Triple-A Buffalo. Collins said the Mets would be careful with Turner because his ankle still gets sore in the morning and takes a little while to loosen up. The reserve infielder was not in the starting lineup Saturday. With starting shortstop Ruben Tejada sidelined since May 7 with a strained right quadriceps, Collins said he hopes to have backup Ronny Cedeno (strained left calf) back by the middle of next week. Tejada was slated to run again Saturday and Collins said he hopes Tejada can play in a rehab game by Monday. [url=http://www.falconsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-jonathan-babineaux-jers...

The Oakland Athletics are getting used to walkoff wins this season. Jemile Weeks hit a leadoff triple and scored on Coco Crisps sacrifice fly to lift the As to their second 15-inning win this week, 5-4 over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. A crowd of 30,169 stayed relatively intact for what turned out to be Oaklands major-league leading 13th walkoff victory and another pie in the face delivered by Josh Reddick, this time wearing a Spiderman costume, complete with mask. "Its fun to get everybody involved like that," Crisp said of getting his third pie of the year. "The fans were getting into and it seems more like a family atmosphere. Its like giving them something extra." Weeks was a star Monday night, too, when his sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 15th beat Tampa Bay. "I was just trying to get it up in the air and deep enough," Crisp said. "Im glad Weeksie has enough speed to beat that arm out there." The As became the first team to play a pair of 15-inning games in a five-day span since the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2006. This win took 4 hours, 47 minutes; the victory over the Rays lasted more than 5 hours. Toronto lost its sixth in a row. Jeff Mathis hit a tying, three-run homer in the ninth for the Blue Jays, and Omar Vizquel was thrown out at the plate in the 12th. Blue Jays manager John Farrell used a five-man infield and also shifted his lineup. After the designated hitter spot was lost, Aaron Loup (1-1) became the first Toronto pitcher to bat in an AL game. Travis Blackley (4-3) pitched three innings for the win. Oakland has won 10 straight one-run games, its longest such streak since 2000. As manager Bob Melvin credited a defensive play by shortstop Eric Sogard in the top of the 15th that ended the inning with the Blue Jays leaving two runners on. [url=http://www.falconsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-akeem-dent-jersey-xa-34... Dent Jersey. . Sogard dove for a sharp grounder in the hole and was able to get a force at third. "Not only did it save the game it gave us momentum going into the dugout," Melvin said. "We were all juiced up when he made that play." As closer Ryan Cook retired the first two batters in the ninth. But David Cooper and Rajai Davis each singled and Mathis hit his sixth home run, tying it at 4-all. "Cant say enough the way our bullpen came in with nine scoreless innings and getting the game into the 15th," Farrell said. "We played our hearts out." Mathis homer spoiled Dan Strailys major league debut. Straily averaged 11.39 strikeouts per nine innings in the minors this year, the best rate in pro ball. Called up from Triple-A before the game, he allowed one run and five hits in six innings, striking out five. Jonny Gomes and Chris Carter each homered for the As. Brandon Inge and Josh Reddick also drove in runs as Oakland improved to 21-6 since the start of July. Crisp and Yoenis Cespedes, who left the game with a right wrist sprain, each had two hits. Toronto starter Brett Cecil allowed four runs on nine hits over five innings. Brad Lincoln went 3 1-3 scoreless innings for the Blue Jays, giving up one hit. NOTES: The 2006 Dodgers lost in 15 innings at Arizona on Aug. 25, then beat Cincinnati in 16 innings on Aug. 29, according to STATS LLC. ... Inge has a 13-game hitting streak. ... Toronto INF Brett Lawrie left the game after one inning with tightness in his rib cage. ... As OF RHP Ricky Romero (8-8, 5.69) goes for the Blue Jays on Saturday. He never finished the second inning in his last outing against the As and has lost seven straight. Hes 4-1 against the As in seven career starts. The As will start A.J. Griffin (3-0, 2.51). ' ' '
