Some good news --

Detroit Tigers [and former Montréal Expos] pitcher Ugueth Urbina's
mother, Moura Villareal, who disappeared Sept. 1 from her home in
Urbina's native Caracas, Venezuela, and held while kidnappers demanded
$3 million ransom, was rescued Friday night.

After initially demanding $15 million from Urbina, the kidnappers had
lowered their demands to $3 million in January.

She was rescued from a countryside home in Estado Bolivar in southern
Venezuela, in a daring raid where two men were killed by police.

Urbina had left the club in September to go to Venezuela, and the Tigers
had been working with Major League Baseball and its Venezuelan contacts
to assist the pitcher.
