I remember when Pena broke into the league with the Texas Rangers. I remember trades involving Pena; he has been traded twice, once from Texas to Oakland and then from Oakland to Detroit.

If it can safely be assumed that the White Sox already have gone from bad to worse and then dropped a little further during this highly disappointing season, then what does losing three straight to the Astros constitute? That question must be answered following the Astros' 5-4 victory Sunday afternoon at Minute Maid Park.

It took 619 picks before a University of Miami player was selected in this year's MLB draft, the longest wait for a Hurricane to get picked since 2003.

After each team scored five runs in the 14th inning to break open a scoreless tie, Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios hit RBI singles in the 16th and the Chicago White Sox stopped an eight-game losing streak by beating Seattle 7-5 Wednesday.

Matt Dominguez drove in three runs, and he was one of six different Houston players to homer, as the Astros held off the Baltimore Orioles, 11-7, at Minute Maid Park.

After taking a line drive off the front of his left ankle Tuesday, left-hander Jeff Francis has a new rehab schedule.
