PERFECT RECORD
Chicago White Sox ace Mark Buehrle set a major league record by retiring 45 straight batters Tuesday night. Coming off a perfect game in his last start against Tampa Bay, Buehrle retired the first 17 Twins batters to surpass the record of 41 straight set by and San Francisco's Jim Barr in 1972 and tied by teammate Bobby Jenks, a reliever, in 2007. The streak ended with two outs in the sixth and Minnesota went on to win 5-3.
OUTFIELD EXCHANGE
In a swap of outfielders, the Boston Red Sox traded Mark Kotsay and cash to the Chicago White Sox for Brian Anderson. Kotsay hit .257 with one home run and five RBIs in 27 games for the Red Sox this year. He started out the season on the disabled list while recovering from back surgery. Anderson was hitting .238 with two homers and 13 RBIs when the White Sox sent him down to Triple-A Charlotte.
SIDELINED UNIT
Randy Johnson has a torn rotator cuff and won't be able to throw for the San Francisco Giants for at least three weeks. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said the 303-game winner had an MRI on his injured left shoulder Monday and the test showed some tearing. The 45-year-old Johnson is 8-6 with a 4.81 ERA with the Giants this season but hasn't played since injuring himself while batting during a 7-1 loss to Houston on July 5.
SEASON-ENDER
Yankees starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his injured right shoulder Wednesday. Wang is just 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA in 12 games this season, after missing time from April 19 to May 21 with a hip injury.

ONLY ONE NO. 14

Jim Rice's No. 14 is up on the facade at Fenway Park along with the team's other Hall of Fame greats. Rice was inducted into the Cooperstown, N.Y., shrine over the weekend, and on Tuesday night the Red Sox retired his number. Rice walked in from left field, where a giant "14" was mowed into the grass. Rice played parts of 16 seasons for the Red Sox, batting .298 with 382 homers.

IS SOMEONE WATCHING OVER THEM?

The Los Angeles Angels survived another meltdown by All-Star closer Brian Fuentes for their major league-leading 33rd comeback victory, 7-6 over the Indians. Fuentes, the major league leader with 30 saves, fell apart for the second straight night, giving up two runs and failing to close out the scrappy Indians.

SICK

The Houston Astros placed reliever LaTroy Hawkins on the 15-day disabled list because of shingles in his back. Hawkins last pitched in Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs and was ejected by home plate umpire Mike Everitt in the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes. He was ejected after Everitt called his second pitch to Aramis Ramirez a ball. Hawkins is 1-4 with a 2.32 ERA. He has 10 saves in 13 opportunities.

The Rockies still haven't figured out how to win in New York, where they have lost four straight to the Mets and 20 of 22 overall.

SPEAKING

"It's just one of those things where you kind of appreciate and sit back and realize how hard it is to throw a no-hitter or a perfect game. Because you see today that I made some good pitches and they put them in play and got base hits off them. It's just frustrating." _The White Sox's Mark Buehrle after he threw 5 2-3 perfect innings one start after he became the 18th pitcher to throw a perfect game and went on to lose 5-3.
