To make room for Wandy Rodriguez's return from the DL tonight, the Astros designated reliever Dave Borkowski for assignment. They also signed righty Jorge Sosa to a minor league deal. Borkowski, 31, makes $800K this year. His 2.67 K/BB (21 innings) this year wasn't bad, but he allowed too many hits and home runs. Sosa, 30, was designated for assignment and then released by the Mets earlier this year....

The Arizona Diamondbacks hurler nailed an opposite-field, pinch-hit homer Wednesday in the sixth inning of his team's 8-7 victory over the Houston Astros . He took the first pitch he saw from reliever Dave Borkowski to tie it up at 7 before Chris Young followed him up with a double, going on to score the go-ahead run...

I had to blow the dust off my tools in the trophy shop it had been so long. Thunder Matt did his best to spark a late-game rally last night, crushing a monster solo home run off of Dave Borkowski in the 7th inning. Unfortunately the remainder of the Cubs offense either forgot how to hit or apparently had holes in their bats as they whiffed several times. Nonetheless, Murton shined last night, if only...
