Arizona Diamondbacks 2B, Felipe Lopez was named MLB's Performer of the Day. Lopez went 3 for 3, with 2 doubles, a HR and 5 RBI's as Arizona pounded the Rockies 13-3.
Chicago (A) White Sox slugging right fielder Jermaine Dye swatted his way to the 300 home run mark today as the White Sox fell to the Kansas City Royals 10-7. For his part, Dye chipped in 3 runs batted in, scored 2 runs and collected 2 hits in 5 at-bats, but it was not enough to turn the tide."It was a special day for Jermaine," the team publicist said afterward, "He was disappointed at the result, but everyone was all smiles as he crossed home plate. We're proud of him."His numbers show Dye is carrying a .276 lifetime batting average with 300 home runs and 994 RBIs.
Ouch! J.D. Drew shelved by injury. It took the Boston team doctor a while to realize it, but right fielder J.D. Drew won't simply play through a right intercostal strain after he got hurt running the bases in today's Rays-Red Sox game. At first, it looked like Drew might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least 2-3 weeks.
Fans in Tampa Bay woke up this morning to learn that their team had traded 30-year-old second baseman Akinori Iwamura and 22-year-old minor league third baseman Reid Fronk to the San Diego Padres. In return, the Rays will receive 25-year-old closer Cla Meredith and 21-year-old minor league starting pitcher Jeremy McBryde. In his career Iwamura has hit for a .279 average and totaled 312 hits, 13 home runs and 82 RBIs. Lifetime Meredith has appeared in 203 games and saved 2 of them.
