CHRIS WHITE boomed his second home run as a professional Thursday for the Gulf Coast League Tigers in a victory over the GCL Braves. He also went 4-for-6 to give himself a blazing 10-for-18 run over the past four games and a .333 average over the past 10 games. White, who started slow after signing out of Sacramento City College, upped his batting average for the season with the GCL Tigers to .272.

In the major leagues RYAN CHURCH got his first start in three days Thursday night and went 0-for-4 in a win over Houston. Newcomer outfielder Wily Mo Pena did not start. Maybe I should take back the mean things I’ve said about the Nationals. Nahhhh……The Nationals spend the weekend in Denver, then arrive in Los Angeles to face the Dodgers Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday at noon.
