ARLINGTON, Texas -- Carlos Pena is back in the major leagues with the team that drafted him in the first round quite a while ago. Pena rejoined the Rangers on Tuesday, a week after signing a minor league deal and going to Triple-A Round Rock, and 13 years after making his major league debut with Texas. He was the 10th overall pick in 1998. "God is good, man. Here I am, where it all started for me and its truly very special," Pena said the home series opener against Detroit on Tuesday night, when he was batting sixth and playing first base. "Just to think back where it all started. ... This is crazy. I was looking at a picture I had of my first at-bat ever and it was with a Rangers uniform. My wife sent it to me this morning." The Rangers designated first baseman/outfielder Brad Snyder for assignment when they purchased the 36-year-old Penas contract from Round Rock. Since losing Prince Fielder and Mitch Moreland to season-ending injuries, Snyder was splitting time at first base with Donnie Murphy. Neither Snyder nor Murphy had played first base in the major leagues before this season. "We just brought in a first baseman to play first base, and he has a presence," manager Ron Washington said. "He may be a little older, but he has presence. Throw something in the wrong spot, and he will hurt you. He knows how to play around that bag. He knows what to do, he knows where to be. Its second nature to him." In seven games at Round Rock, Pena hit .333 (8 for 24) with one home run. The only person to go longer between games for the Rangers was Sammy Sosa, who made his major league debut for Texas in 1989 and then played his final season there in 2007. Fielder had a cervical fusion of the C5 and C6 disks in his neck last month. Moreland had ligament reconstructive surgery and bone realignment in his left ankle Monday, and the team said he went home to Mississippi. Fielder and Moreland are expected to be ready for spring training next season. After playing 22 games for the Rangers, Pena was traded to Oakland that winter. He has also played for Detroit, Boston, Tampa Bay, the Chicago Cubs, Houston and Kansas City. He was an All-Star in 2009 with Tampa Bay, when he had an AL-high 39 homers. Pena went to spring training with the Los Angeles Angels, but was released March 23 after hitting .139 in 20 spring games. "I was training. I was staying ready. I had faith that something was going to happen," he said. "At the same time, I didnt want to force it. I wanted to make sure it was right and it was the right spot, the right situation."

It was a goal but if there had been confirmation it would have been better, especially for the referees.The win put Roma nine points ahead of third-place Lazio ahead of Sundays Rome derby.Napoli moved level with Lazio following a 4-1 at Cesena, its third consecutive victory including the win over Juventus in the Italian Super Cup. Gonzalo Higuain scored twice for the visitors, while Jose Callejon and Marek Hamsik also found the net.Lazio beat Sampdoria 3-0 Monday.Elsewhere, Sassuolo beat AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro, leaving the Rossoneri in seventh place, 15 points behind Juventus.Andrea Poli gave Milan the lead nine minutes in but Sassuolo took control with goals from Nicola Sansone and Italy forward Simone Zaza.Palermo routed 10-man Cagliari 5-0 to ruin the debut of Gianfranco Zola as the Sardinian clubs coach, with Paulo Dybala netting twice to take his total to nine goals this season.In other matches, Parma beat nine-man Fiorentina 1-0 after Mario Gomez failed to equalize with a penalty kick; Genoa and Ataalanta drew 2-2; and Empoli-Hellas Verona and Chievo Verona-Torino each ended 0-0.ddddddddddddAt the Stadio Friuli, Romas 38-year-old captain Francesco Totti set up the goal with a free kick that Astori met in the centre of the area.Udinese protested for a penalty when Urby Emanuelson made contact with Panagiotis Kone inside the area in the 85th but the referee ruled to play on, resulting in more protests from the hosts and a management member on Udineses bench being sent off.However, the match will be remembered for the controversy surrounding the goal.Goal-line technology was used at last years World Cup but hasnt yet been approved for Serie A. Full instant replay has not been approved yet by FIFA but Italian football federation president Carlo Tavecchio has offered to use it in Serie A next season as an experiment.In sports with inferior numbers to football they have the technology. In tennis, for example, there is Hawk-Eye, but we dont have it and we dont understand why. Its absurd, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said. I hope something is done for next season.In Turin, Tevez scored from close range following an excellent setup by Arturo Vidal after five minutes.Juventus had chances to double its lead but was denied by Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.Soon after newly-acquired forward Lukas Podolski came on for Inter, Icardi equalized in the 64th with his ninth goal of the season. Icardi beat defender Leonardo Bonucci to a long pass and placed an angled shot inside the far post, beyond the reach of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.Inter had chances to win it but Icardi sent an effort wide after being set up by Podolski in the 81st following a swift counterattack and then had a long shot blocked by Buffon two minutes later.Inter finished with 10 men after Mateo Kovacic was sent off in the 86th for a hard tackle on Stephan Lichtsteiner.We wasted a few chances to win it, said Icardi, who has scored in each of his four league matches against Juventus.Inter is 11th in Serie A, 18 points behind Juventus.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
