--3B Adrian Beltre had a down April, no doubt about that. But he singled in his final at-bat in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox then put together a 4-for-4 game Wednesday in the series finale. That brought his batting average up to .207, an increase of 38 points.

--RF Ichiro Suzuki was given an intentional walk with first base open in the sixth inning Wednesday by Chicago RHP Gavin Floyd. It was the first intentional walk for Ichiro, who led the club with a dozen intentional walks last year. However, Ichiro still has not drawn an unintentional walk this season.

--RHP Shawn Kelley hadn't given up an earned run in his first six games. But he gave up back-to-back homers to Chicago LF Carlos Quentin and RF Jermaine Dye in the seventh inning and wound up taking the first loss of his big league career.

--LHP Erik Bedard has only a 2-1 record, but he could easily be among the league leaders in wins. In his two no-decisions, including one Wednesday in Chicago, he left both games with the lead. In his one loss, he allowed just two runs (one earned) but was victim of an April 18 shutout thrown by Detroit RHP Edwin Jackson and his bullpen.
