Given a start, Kang makes the most of opportunity

CHICAGO -- After putting together the best day of his young Major League career on Wednesday, third baseman Jung Ho Kang looked back with just one regret.

Kang went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBIs and his first stolen base in the Majors in the Bucs' 8-1 win over the Cubs. He showed off his power potential by launching a 93-mph fastball about 380 feet to center field, bouncing it off the ivy-covered wall only a few inches short of his first big league home run.

That had to feel pretty good, right?
