Rays first baseman Carlos Pena has been red-hot as of late. He hit a home run in his sixth straight game on Saturday as Tampa Bay topped Florida 6-5 in interleague play. "I keep saying I'm just grateful I have an opportunity to do it," said Pena, whose .196 batting average is his highest in more than a month. "That is awesome, so I never lose sight of that." He is the first player to go deep in six straight games since Frank Thomas did it for Oakland Sept. 5-11, 2006. The major league record of eight consecutive games with a homer is shared by Dale Long (Pirates, May 19-28, 1956), Don Mattingly (Yankees, July 8-18, 1987) and Ken Griffey, Jr. (Mariners, July 20-28, 1993). "I'm trusting myself a little bit more. I'm trusting my plan, and I'm focusing on seeing the ball and trusting that the right swing will come out when my eyes recognize the pitch I want," Pena said, adding that he isn't going to the plate looking to hit home runs. "When you try, it doesn't happen. So, I've been focusing on the process and executing the process. ... Everything else just takes care of itself."
