Elsewhere:

Done deal! The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to send 25-year-old third baseman Andy LaRoche and 19-year-old minor league right fielder Wesley Freeman to the Houston Astros for 32-year-old center fielder Jason Michaels and a 5th round draft pick. The trade, rumored for days, was completed in the wee hours this morning.

St. Louis and San Diego have agreed to a trade today. 27-year-old left fielder Chris Duncan and 19-year-old minor league starting pitcher Richard Castillo will go to the Padres. In exchange the Cardinals will receive 31-year-old reliever Heath Bell and 22-year-old starting pitcher Will Inman.

The New York (A) Yankees will have to make do without Jorge Posada for 2 weeks. He suffered a throwing shoulder subluxation while colliding with a player at a base in the game today against the Baltimore Orioles. His teammates, understandably, were upset about losing the catcher. "That's a tough break for him," one of them said. "But this team is resilient. We will just fill in until he gets back."

Washington Nationals star Adam Dunn goes 3 for 5 with 2 HR and 5 RBI's on the way to an 8-7 win over the Florida Marlins. He was named the #1 Performer of the Day.
