Adam Dunn put the big bop on the ball and racked up 4 hits including a Home Run to fuel the Sox rally.
Nearly the same story exists over in the NL West where those Falling Rockies were caught on Wednesday behind the 5th straight W of the San Francisco Giants.
Ironically, the Giants also rallied from a 3 run deficit to sneak past the D'Backs. Andres Torres provided the spark with a couple of timely knocks including a go ahead RBI double to bring SF even in the standings with Colorado.
Speaking of go ahead doubles that won games.. Hunter Pence.. c'mon.. this guy is en fuego in Houston. Not only did he extend the longest active hitting streak in the NL (15) with an early hit, he one-upped it with a clutch Walk Off double into the right field corner that scored his not so fleet footed catcher from first base without a throw.
Pence has raised his average to .307 during the streak and now sits 2nd in the Majors with 31 RBIs, one behind Lance Berkman and Ryan Howard. Nice.
Check out Adam Jones over in Baltimore. This guy is a spark plug and fun to watch. The O's are hanging in there in the East and won a tight one yesterday behind Adam's antics. His 4 for 4 day included his first triple of the season and led the O's to a 6-4 win over Seattle. Jones is hitting a solid .286 on the year.
Remember my post about the kid KC was bringing up for his MLB debut, Eric Hosmer? Well, after getting his toes in the water with a couple of games. . the kid was in THE spotlight last night when KC visited Yankee Stadium. Ok, not only was every friend and family member present to watch the "event".. the kid was penciled in as the no. 3 hitter in the lineup! Are you serious?
So, what does he do... ? Not much, just belted out the first HR of his career (and what a swing), scored what looked like the game winner in the 10th (until NY tied it), then.. just for giggles.. he won the YH with a sac fly in the 11th that scored the winning run from 3rd. Nice job of hitting Eric!

Is free agent Rich Harden being undervalued in professional baseball?
Yes, it seems like we’re scraping the peanut butter jar of baseball free agents. Most teams tend to stay away from scraps while others will stick their finger in the jar and lick it clean. Now a days when you’re surfing the baseball market you have to be one of those general managers that think outside the box and find valuable baseball players that other teams might overlook. If you’re down to the wire and on January 31st for baseball player picks you will most likely get that player at steal, highway robbery if you will.
