Washington State coach Ernie Kent started Wednesdays game against Idaho in an unusual spot -- on the Vandals bench next to coach Don Verlin.In the offseason, Kent bid $2,000 to win an item in a live charity auction that included an all-access pass to one of Idahos games this season.Verlin said the package -- which was auctioned during the 15th annual Coaches vs. Cancer gala in Spokane, Washington -- included a chance to attend Idahos pregame shootaround, pregame meal and pregame talk in the locker room, as well as sit on the bench and even call the first play of the game.Kent spent the first 30 seconds Wednesday night next to Verlin before the two shook hands and Kent departed for his own bench.Kent said it ranked near the top of his favorite coaching memories, as it brought awareness to trying to find a cure for cancer. Both coaches lost their fathers to cancer.I dont think anybodys ever seen that anywhere in the country, where opposing coaches stood on one side of the field, sat on another teams bench, sat in another teams dugout, Kent said.

It was the fact that you have coaches, again coaches, standing up for such a worthy cause.Washington State-Idaho is the oldest continuous rivalry west of the Mississippi.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to have center fielder Kevin Pillar back in the lineup on Tuesday when they open a three-game series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels.Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (8-13, 4.51 ERA) will start for the Blue Jays in their first meeting this season with the Angels, who will turn to left-hander Tyler Skaggs (1-2, 5.19 ERA).Pillar injured his left thumb on a slide into second base on Aug. 7 in Kansas City. He likely will be reinstated from the disabled list after going 6-for-7 with a double and two RBI in two games for Class A Dunedin on a rehabilitation assignment.The move will give the Blue Jays more flexibility in the outfield. Melvin Upton Jr. has been playing center field in Pillars place and recently has started to find himself at the plate.Upton has batted .333 (6-for-18) with three home runs and six RBI in his last five games. When Pillar returns to play center, it means Upton can move to one of the corners, probably right field with Michael Saunders returning to his regular spot in left field.Ezequiel Carrera would resume his role as the teams fourth outfielder.It is not certain when Jose Bautista will return from a sprained left knee. He is eligible to return from the disabled list on Thursday for the final game of the series.Third baseman Josh Donaldson returned to the lineup Sunday following a two-game absence because of a jammed thumb, sustained in an at-bat on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.The Blue Jays lineup is beginning to return to normal, and they hope it will mean more offensive production. They lost two of three to the Indians in Cleveland with each game decided by one run.The Angels, meanwhile, are dealing with injuries to their bullpen with Huston Street and Cam Bedrosian on the disabled list.Deolis Guerra, J.C. Ramirez and Fernando Salas did the job from the bullpen on Sunday in a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees.dddddddddddd Salas picked up the save.Both Guerra and Ramirez have a chance to prove that they belong in the Angels plans for next season.They are part of the bullpen answers right now, manager Mike Scioscia said. Anytime someone gets an opportunity and they are throwing the ball well, obviously they make their own role, especially in the bullpen. Both those guys are doing a great job, and hopefully well get some more leads to hold and see how they continue to do.The Blue Jays have added a left-hander to their bullpen for the Angels series after Aaron Loup was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to replace starter Aaron Sanchez. Sanchez was sent to Class A Dunedin in a move that will limit his innings, which are at a career-high 156 1/3. He is 12-2 with a 2.99 ERA and will return to pitch against the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 31.He allowed five runs (four earned) in four innings in a no decision Saturday against the Indians, a game won 6-5 by the Blue Jays.Manager John Gibbons said that Sanchez has showed no signs of fatigue.I havent seen anything to indicate that, Gibbons said. He looks the same and the results look the same.The Blue Jays are trying to protect the 24-year-olds arm but his performance has complicated the issue.Its not easy, Gibbons said. Nobody wants to do it. We hope were doing the right thing. We think we are and hes on board with it.Dickey is 6-3 with a 4.51 ERA in 26 games, including 10 starts, in his career against the Angels.Skaggs will be making his sixth start of the season for the Angels. He is 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA in two career starts against the Blue Jays, both in 2014.Skaggs won his only start at Rogers Center when he allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and no walks in eight-plus innings.
