MLB Photos of the Week

Alfonso Soriano steps into a pitch in front of Padres catcher Josh Bard on Sunday. A big name in trade rumors before the deadline, Soriano went deep in the first at-bat of the game, seemingly content to stick with the Nationals.

With a win over the Rangers on Saturday, Ervin Santana became the fifth pitcher in Angels history with at least 12 wins in each of his first two seasons in the majors. Santana has a 12-5 record with a 4.09 ERA so far this season.

Jose Reyes pats teammate David Wright on the back after a 4-3 victory over the Phillies on Saturday. Wright signed a six-year, $55 million contract extension with the Mets on Sunday, just three days after Reyes signed a four-year, $23.25 million extension with a club option for a fifth year.

Bobby Abreu went 10 for 25 in his first week with the Yankees, batting .400 with an RBI, four runs, two walks and two stolen bases. The Yankees won five of six games to take a two-game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East.

Phillies center fielder Aaron Rowand climbs the wall but fails to reach a home run ball hit by Chris Duncan, which scored two for the Cardinals in the second inning on Aug. 2. Rowand would later respond with a solo shot in the fifth as the Phillies routed the Cardinals 16-8.

The Cubs' Ryan Theriot is safe stealing second ahead of the throw to Orlando Hudson in the first inning of Game 2 of a doubleheader with the Diamondbacks on Aug. 3. The Cubs managed to steal the second game 7-3 after losing the first 10-2.
