During the second inning of Sunday's season finale against the Angels the Astros announced that rookie right-hander Clayton Mortensen was arrested and detained on Saturday night under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
He was acquired in the trade which sent Matt Holliday to the Cardinals in July. Mortensen made his big debut with St. Louis on July 29. "First off, I want to apologize to the A's and their fans and my family," Mortensen said after Sunday's season finale. "Calling my dad this morning was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm deeply ashamed and embarrassed."
