Craig's Crush

Craig Biggio hit his 22nd HR of the year to give the Houston Astros a 1-0 lead in the first. That ties his career high. Biggo's offense has fallen off over the last three years, but he has for the most part retained his power. His .475 slugging percentage this year is the highest he's had since 1998.

Update: Jason Bay does Biggio one better and hits his 23rd HR of the year, a three run shot in the bottom of the first, giving the Pirates a 3-1 lead. Bay and Oliver Perez each have 15 win shares; Brian Giles has 22. Looks like both teams made out well in this trade, but long term the Pirates made a great deal.
