The Astros are stepping up following Hurricane Ike. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Houston franchise has donated $1 million to support the relief efforts of the devastating hurricane, which ravaged a big chunk of Texas and left many without electricity. 
Although the Rays' season is still a work in progress, pitcher Scott Kazmir was on hand Tuesday afternoon to see the culmination of three months of hard work in nearby Brandon, Fla.
