Monday 5/9/2008: Greene (KCR) and Lieberthal (FLA) win P.O.W. award
The Player of the Week award in the American League goes to Kansas City's Willie Greene this time, as the rightfielder displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. Willie pounded opposing pitchers, hitting .464 with 4 HR and 10 RBI while slugging 1.036. He got at least one hit each game this week and is on a 7 game hitting streak right now. Willie is hitting .339 this year, with 42 hits in 124 at bats. He has driven in 25 runs, slugging .629. The National League Player of the Week award goes to Mike Lieberthal, Florida's starting catcher. He had an on base percentage of .444 and hit .423, while driving in 15 runs.
Saturday 5/7/2008: Robb Nen dominates Baltimore, throws NO-HITTER
BALTIMORE - Age doesn't matter. At least Kansas City's right-hander Robb Nen shares this opinion. The 38 year old pitched a no-hitter against Baltimore, showing the great stuff that made him famous for years. Carl Crawford spoiled the bid for a perfect game when he walked with no outs in the 7th inning. Nen (4-0) struck out 7 and issued 2 BB, throwing 72 of 118 pitches for strikes. 'Well, the ball went where I wanted it. I was able to hit the corners with all of my pitches. I'm so happy that it was enough to pitch such a great game.' The hitting star for Kansas City was leftfielder Garret Anderson, he went 1 for 5. Kansas City scored 1 run on 7 hits.
Friday 5/6/2008: Oliver Perez pitches his 1st shutout of the season
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis' left-hander Oliver Perez is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Arizona on just 2 hits. It's his 1st shutout this season, and the 5th time he has done it in his career. Perez (7-1) struck out 7 and issued 1 BB, throwing 61 of 92 pitches for strikes. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today.' Eric Chavez provided St. Louis with the offense Perez needed as he finished with 1 hit in 4 AB, blasting a homerun, with 2 RBI. The final score of the game was 2-0.
Friday 5/6/2008: Ryan Howard blisters three bombs
SAN DIEGO - San Diego beat Pittsburgh 14-5, but that was not the real story of the game. Ryan Howard was, as he went deep three times. His 1st shot, a solo homerun off Brian J. Anderson in the 3rd inning, cleared the fence in left field. Number 2 in the 5th inning, a shot estimated at 364 feet, cleared the wall in right field. His 3rd shot, off Brian Lawrence in the 8th inning, was a two-run homerun and cleared the fence in left-center. Overall he got 3 hits in 5 AB, with three runs scored with 5 RBI.
Friday 5/6/2008: Ryan Dempster (LAN) will miss 5 weeks
LOS ANGELES (N) - Los Angeles (N) is without its ace Ryan Dempster for at least 5 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Jason Bartlett in a game against Chicago (N). His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Ruptured Elbow Ligament which will require surgery. Opposing players hit .167 against Ryan this season. While posting an ERA of 2.09 he went 4-2 in 7 starts, fanning 47 and walking 16 hitters.
