Pistons win in seven

SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM

May 22, 2006 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.

STOCK UP

  • The Pistons finally finished off the Cavaliers in seven games, holding Cleveland to 61 points Sunday.

  • The Tigers have won nine of their last 10 games. Jim Leyland has done a tremendous job this season.

  • The Cardinals have won five in a row.

  • Sam Hornish Jr. won the pole for next week's Indianapolis 500.

  • Scott Kazmir had 11 strikeouts as he outdueled Dontrelle Willis on Sunday. I was at that game and Kazmir is so impressive. Do you think the Mets are sorry they traded him for Victor Zambrano?

  • Martina Hingis won her first championship since coming back from retirement, capturing the Italian Open.

    STOCK DOWN

  • Cubs catcher Michael Barrett threw a punch at A.J. Pierzynski leading to a fight between the Chicago teams Saturday.

  • Astros pitcher Russ Springer received a four-game suspension for throwing at Barry Bonds.

  • What a tragic moment when Barbaro went down at the Preakness.

  • The Royals have lost nine straight games and have just 10 wins all season.

  • The Marlins have lost seven straight.

  • The Angels were outscored 42-11 in their current five-game losing streak.
