MLB Notes

Carlos Quentin, the Chicago White Sox outfielder, hit his Major League-leading seventh home run Sunday afternoon in a 12-2 romp over Tampa Bay.

Jimmy Rollins just needed a benching.
Mired in a 3-for-33 slump and hitting .133 to start the 2009 season, the 2007 NL MVP came off the Phillies bench and belted a game-tying home run in the bottom of the eighth inning versus San Diego.

Kansas City doesn't appear to want to sit atop the AL Central for long. Kyle Farnsworth, the loser of two decisions already, thanks to separate blown leads of two runs, was brought in to pitch the ninth inning in the hitter-friendly confines of the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Texas' Michael Young hit a lead-off walk-off home run. Farnsworth's ERA rises to 18.90 and the Royals fall to 7-5.
