Here are some of the highlight's from last week's action.
-Marlins and Dodgers continue streaking as the Marlins have won seven straight and the Dodgers are at nine games.

-The first regular season game is played at the new Yankee Stadium, but the Indians defeated the Yankees, 10-2, after a nine-run seventh inning.
-Gary Sheffield becomes the 25th player to hit 500 home runs, and the first to reach the milestone as a pinch hitter.
