Was selected to pitch in the 2005 MLB All-Star Game. With a 1.41 ERA in 17 starts so far, he has the lowest ERA of his career at the midpoint of the season.

After the 2006 Major League Baseball season, this is his team status: Boston Red Sox --- 1984-1996 Toronto Blue Jays --- 1997-1998 New York Yankees --- 1999-2003 Houston Astros --- 2004-2006.
