NEW YORK -- The sons of former big leaguers Lenny Dykstra and Charlie Leibrandt were among the players selected Friday during the second day of the Major League Baseball draft. Luke Dykstra, an infielder at Westlake High School in suburban Los Angeles, was drafted in the seventh round by Atlanta. Hes the second son of the former All-Star outfielder to be drafted; infielder Cutter Dykstra was a second-round pick by Milwaukee in 2008 and is currently in Washingtons system. "Hes just like his dad," Braves scouting director Tony DeMacio told MLB.com, referring to Luke Dykstra. "He plays with his hair on fire." Florida State left-hander Brandon Leibrandt went in the sixth round to Philadelphia. He was 4-1 with a 1.83 ERA this season, but missed several weeks with a severely bruised left leg. "The Phillies were a little bit of a surprise," Leibrandt said in a statement released by Florida State. "I didnt think they were going to be one of the front-runners, but they called me at the start of the sixth round, we had a good talk and the rest is history." Leibrandt got the news while he was with his family, including his father, who won 140 games over 14 major league seasons. "Out of everyone, I think my mom was the most excited," Brandon Leibrandt said. "She went a little crazy, so I had to calm her down. But overall, I just couldnt have asked for anything more." Seminole State Junior College right-hander Jake Cosart, the brother of Astros starter Jarred Cosart, was a third-round pick by Boston. "As cool as it wouldve been for him to be an Astro its so awesome that hes part of such a storied org. In Boston," Jarred Cosart wrote on Twitter. "Congrats (at)JakeCosart." Detroit took UCLA catcher Shane Zeile, the nephew of former big leaguer Todd Zeile, in the fifth round. Zeile led the Bruins by hitting .324 with two homers and 28 RBIs. After having no picks in the first two rounds, Baltimore made eight selections Friday, including Notre Dame right-hander Pat Connaughton, who also started at guard for the Fighting Irish basketball team. After averaging 13.8 points and 7.1 rebounds on the court, the 6-foot-5 Connaughton went 3-5 with a 3.92 ERA in 62 innings on the mound for Notre Dame. "Its a dream come true to be able to play at a place like Notre Dame and have it pay off," Connaughton told the schools website. "When I saw my name, I was surprised and excited all at the same time. I was pumped that its an East Coast team and a great organization to learn and develop in." The Orioles had forfeited their first two picks after signing free agents Nelson Cruz and Ubaldo Jimenez during the off-season. Their first selection came in the third round with Florida high school lefty Brian Gonzalez, who went 90th overall. Miami right-hander Javier Salas, who pitched the second perfect game in Hurricanes history this season, went in the 10th round to Milwaukee. The draft will be completed with rounds 11-40 on Saturday via conference calls with all 30 teams. Houston led off for the third straight year Thursday night, taking California high school lefty Brady Aiken with the first overall pick.

You can listen to the game starting at 4pm pt on TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver. Henrik Sedin had a goal and an assist in Philadelphia, while brother Daniel assisted on power-play goals from Henrik and Radim Vrbata. Vancouver went 2 for 3 with the man advantage after going 0 for 10 over its previous four. We needed to get back in the win column, said Jannik Hansen, who also scored. If you lose one or two in a row, thats not good. Three, thats starting trouble. We needed to get back on the winning track to keep up with the other teams. Ryan Miller, who beat Carolina in the first meeting, made 29 saves against the Flyers, meaning Eddie Lack could get the nod in this contest. Lack is 3-6-2 with a 2.80 goals-against average in eight starts, the most recent a 5-1 loss to Nashville on Tuesday. Cam Ward could be in net for Carolina after Anton Khudobin made 28 saves against Colorado. Ward stopped 21 shots in the first meeting with the Canucks. The Hurricanes (14-24-5) sit at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division and finished last year with three consecutive losses, but they improved to 4-1-1 this month with a 3-2 shootout win over Colorado on Tuesday. Staal has played in the last eight contests after recovering from a broken leg suffered in the preseason, and he scored his first goal of the season in the first period. It was important for Jordan to get that first (goal), but hes had good looks every night, coach Bill Peters said. His line was doominant early.dddddddddddd Staal, who also has three assists since making his season debut, was happy to get the monkey off his back as well. Its nice to get the goose egg out of the way. Its been happening for a few games. Ive had some good chances, he said. Were just starting to get a little more comfortable with the way were playing. There were a lot of good chances to score goals, and hopefully if we keep playing like that, we can get on a roll. Carolinas recent success is due in part to its stellar penalty kill, which hasnt allowed a goal in a franchise-record 11 straight games. Opponents have gone 0 for 28 with the man advantage in that stretch. The Hurricanes have allowed just 15 power-play goals all season - the second-fewest in the league behind Chicago (13). Real good consistency there, Peters said. Those guys have taken a lot of pride in it. (Assistant coach Steve Smith) has done a good job preparing them and making adjustments as needed. ... Theyve been outstanding for us. The Hurricanes couldnt get much going in the first meeting with Vancouver, which got two goals from Brad Richardson in a 4-1 victory Oct. 28. Goals had been hard to come by lately for the Canucks (24-15-3), who were outscored 9-2 during a three-game skid before breaking out Thursday for a 4-0 win over Philadelphia in the second stop on a five-game trip.
