Craig Biggio kissed his wife, hugged everyone in sight and dragged retired teammate Jeff Bagwell onto the field for the celebration. It was the perfect place for the Houston Astros' second baseman to get his 3,000th career hit. "I couldn't have scripted it any better," said Biggio, who tied a career high Thursday with five hits. "There are a lot of things that have happened over the past 20 years but tonight is the best."

Detroit Tigers rookie reliever Joel Zumaya, who has a 1.98 earned-run average in 56 games, has a sprained right wrist and won't be available for a few days. "He has a tendinitis in his right wrist, which is causing some tightness in his forearm," team trainer Kevin Rand said Tuesday. A doctor examined Zumaya on Monday and the right-hander received a cortisone shot. He will not pick up a baseball until at least Friday, Rand said.

Houston Astros catcher Craig Biggio, 23, was arrested early this morning and charged with driving while intoxicated, police said. He was stopped at 2:15 a.m. on a west Houston street after a patrolman saw him traveling at 50 m.p.h. in a 35-m.p.h. zone and weaving so badly he "almost went over the sidewalk," an officer said.

A police officer testified that Houston Astros catcher Craig Biggio handed over his driver's license along with two $100 bills shortly before being arrested for drunk driving. The testimony came in the trial of Biggio, 23, who pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. Biggio, who made a public apology after his arrest, waived the right to a jury trial, and the case continued today before Harris County Court-at-Law Judge Jim Barkley.

Houston Astros catcher Craig Biggio today was placed on two years probation, fined $350 and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service after he was convicted of driving while intoxicated. County Court-at-Law Judge Jim Barkley, who delivered the verdict Thursday, said failure to live up to the terms of the probation would get Biggio 180 days in jail.

With a single, triple and home run in his first three at-bats, Craig Biggio knew what he had to do. After being walked intentionally in his next plate appearance, Biggio lined a two-run double down the left-field line, completing the cycle and helping the Houston Astros to an 8-4 victory Monday in the Colorado Rockies' home opener. Biggio, who drove in four runs, put the Astros ahead, 8-1, with his double in the eighth. "Well, you know what you need," Biggio said of his last at-bat.

Astro second baseman Craig Biggio says he wants no charges filed against a Chicago White Sox fan who he claimed struck his wife Sunday night at U.S. Cellular Field. A team spokesman said the alleged incident took place late in Game 2, which the White Sox won, 7-6. One report said Patty Biggio had had her hair pulled, but Craig Biggio said the man struck her. "There was one guy that decided to act like a 12-year-old, slapped her upside the head and ran away like a kid," he said.

The San Diego Padres still don't have a no-hitter after 5,919 games over 38 seasons. Chris Young was the latest to try, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning before giving up a leadoff double to Brad Hawpe. That was the only hit he gave up in eight innings as he led the Padres to a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night at San Diego. Hawpe doubled down the right-field line on Young's first pitch of the eighth, his 99th of the game.

Craig Biggio dropped Moises Alou's flyball, allowing two runs to score in the seventh inning Tuesday night and sending the Chicago Cubs to a 7-5 win over the Houston Astros at Chicago. Alou earlier made a two-base error of his own, knocking a ball into the ivy with his glove, as Houston took a 4-1 lead in Andy Pettitte's first start in a month. But the Cubs rallied against the Houston bullpen.

Rookie Jeriome Robertson pitched seven strong innings for his first career victory and Craig Biggio set the National League record with his 31st leadoff home run as the Astros beat the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2, Thursday night at Houston. Robertson (1-1) gave up only two hits while striking out eight and walking three. He retired the last 11 batters he faced. Octavio Dotel struck out the side in order in the eighth inning and Billy Wagner finished for his third save.

Houston Astro second baseman Craig Biggio tore ligaments in his left knee Tuesday night and will be lost for the rest of the season. Biggio, 34, tore his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments during a collision with Florida's Preston Wilson in Houston's victory at Miami. With Wilson on first base, Mike Lowell hit a grounder to third. On the throw to second, Wilson slid into Biggio. Biggio hadn't been on the disabled list in 13 major league seasons.

Shane Reynolds pitched a three-hitter and added a two-run double in a six-run third inning as the Houston Astros defeated the Montreal Expos, 10-2, on Wednesday night. It was a big night for Expo reliever Dustin Hermanson too. The right-hander hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat, becoming the first pitcher in five years to hit a homer in his first major-league at-bat and first player since Atlanta's Jermaine Dye did it May 17, 1996.

Craig Biggio owes his best game of the season to his hitting coach. After going four for four with a three-run home run and four RBIs as the Houston Astros defeated the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory, Biggio said coach Tom McGraw gave him a tip that worked. "Tom McCraw said something to me before the game and that helped make me more comfortable at the plate," Biggio said. "I haven't felt that good since spring training." What was the secret?
