Hawaii's own

Benny Agbayani, Mets: As a leadoff hitter, it is Agbayani's job to get on base. He had that chance yesterday, leading off an inning four times. The St. Louis and Hawaii Pacific alumnus played left field in New York's 5-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles and went 1-4, singling to left field in the third inning. He grounded out to short, flew out to left and struck out in his three other at-bats.

Mike Fetters, Dodgers: The Iolani School graduate and his Dodgers had a day off yesterday.
