	May 10 Royals............ 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 2 0 - 6 11 0 Blue-Jays....... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 6 1 C.Capuano WIN(4-2), B.Arroyo LOSS(2-2) HOME RUNS- S.Fasano(6th) Kansas City's victory went to Chris Capuano(4-2) who went 6 innings, allowing 1 run.

Randy Johnson's 100th Millennium League Win

April 27: Randy Johnson became the first pitcher to win 100 Millennium League games by defeating the Washington Nationals 9-6 at PNC Park. Johnson struck out 11 in his complete game effort. The Big Unit has a career 100-43 mark over five seasons with the D-Backs: 21-12 (2000), 23-10 (2001), 23-8 (2002), 8-7 (2003), 23-5 (2004) and 2-1 (2005).

Tony Clark Leading League in Homers

Cleveland (AP) - Journeyman first baseman Tony Clark is having an incredible start for the Indians. In 32 games, Tony is batting .403 with 21 homers and 36 runs batted in. He leads the league in homers and is 2nd in batting average and RBI's. This is quite a turnaround for Clark. Tony has a career .238 batting average with just 24 total homers in his five previous seasons with Seattle, Montreal, Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Tony has certainly helped the Indians get off to a fast start (25-14) this season. . . .

Sox' Smoltz Off to Fast Start

Boston (AP) - One of the main reasons for the Red Sox' resurgence this season is starter John Smoltz. The "reliever turned starter" is off to a great start: 5-2 with a 2.88 ERA in 8 games. Smoltz, a #1 round draft pick for the Red Sox in 2001, had saved 107 games the prior three seasons. He was turned into a starter for the 2005 seasons and is anchoring a formidable stable of starters: P. Martinez (6-2 2.90), J. Contreras (2-1 3.03), T. Wakefield (3-1 3.77) and D. Lowe (3-2 4.80). Boston has jumped out to a strong 24-15 mark this season and looks to be a playoff contender. . . . .

Around the League - Walk Off Homers

	April 25: Javy Lopez bombed a two-run dinger (his 4th of the season) to give the Yankees an exciting come from behind win over Philly.

Giants.......... 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 - 4 10 0 Indians......... 2 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 - 5 11 0 T.Worrell LOSS(0-2), S.Hasegawa WIN(4-1) HOME RUNS- J.Kent(5th), J.Morneau(3rd), T.Clark-2(11th)

Indians Acquire John Patterson

Cleveland (AP) - The Indians recently acquired righty starter John Patterson from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for relief pitcher Kevin Gregg and a 2006 6th round draft pick. Patterson, in three previous seasons with the Dodgers, was just 3-6 with a 4.56 ERA. He is 1-4 with a 4.29 ERA in 50 innings this year.

Gregg, a 7th round pick by Cleveland in the 2004 Draft, was 4-3 with a 5.88 ERA in 90 innings last season.

Phillies Acquire Andruw Jones

Philadelphia (AP) - The Phillies acquired centerfielder Andruw Jones from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for their 2006 Round 1 draft pick. Entering this season, Jones had played 772 games for the Braves and had a .266 career average with a 172 homers (15th on the all-time list). However, Jones was hitting just .189 with 6 homers through May 11th of this season.

The Phillies have a history of trading their future season #1 round draft picks away to acquire players. Last season, the Fightin' Phils acquired Jim Thome from the Indians for their top pick. And, two seasons ago, Greg Maddux from the Braves was acquired for the Phils' #1 rounder.
