The AL West-leading Rangers made two major moves.

Anther one-run loss for the Tampa Bay Rays, another sleepless night for manager Kevin Cash. Arguably the best starter for the team this year, Matt Moore, was dealt to the San Francisco Giants to bolster their solid rotation with another lefty alongside Madison Bumgarner. That question was answered with only minutes to spare at the deadline when Baltimore scooped him up.
Certainly, Odorizzi is pitching that way for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Yes, this new Giants pitcher in 2016 has had a problem giving up home run, and if you think I’m phrasing it that way to give you Samardzija tremors, that’s stupid because Matt Moore is left-handed.
“Seeing 12 up there at the end is really nice, ” Odorizzi said.
“The club informed me and the player understood clearly that they were making every effort to trade him”, Katz told the AP, “and that if they were unable to come to terms with another club on a trade and successful in acquiring another outfielder that he likely would be demoted”.
Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera calmly finished off the game with a three-up, three-down inning, boosting Duffy’s record to a sterling 7-1 for the season.
Although Duffy had hit into plenty of hard outs, the Giants had the lowest OPS at third base among National League clubs when he went on the disabled list.
There has been a lot of talk about Brad Miller, who has lost his shortstop role to Matt Duffy and reacted like a human being about it by being disappointed. “We felt it’s best for the organization to get him over at first and allow Duffy the opportunity to play short”. Kiekhefer made his major league debut on May 14. 295 with 12 HR and 77 RBIs. I feel like the addition of both Matt Moore and Will Smith will help us in multiple ways and strengthen us as well.
“This is always a tough time of year, Evans said”. If the guy’s talent is half as good as his name, he is going to be legit.
He wore No. 55 with the Rays. Bolanos, 19, was rated the 20th-best global prospect by MLB.com.
The Rays scored 4 runs in the 1st inning off of Edison Volquez. Heim has been touted as a defensive oriented catcher that has seen little progression with the wood in his hands.
Puig has been physically limited and largely inconsistent even when healthy this season, batting. “We’re just real thin down there”.
Matt Duffy was a Giant for less than two seasons, but to say he was a Good Giant would be a vast understatement. The futures seem bright for these guys; just don’t put on your shades yet. “But I know our guys are too good to be splitting the series after we are ahead and getting swept in four games in Texas”. The good news is that the Rays gained a diverse group, allowing for a host of options in the years to come. “I threw a changeup down in the zone and he got the barrel of the bat on it. It wasn’t a bad pitch”. “But when he got through the seventh I thought this MAY be the night”. But it is not within my capacity to justify what a franchise does or doesn’t do.

“The footwork is going to be a little quicker, and I guess my mental clock is going to have to be sped up a little bit”, Duffy said, “so there’s going to be a little bit of an adjustment period”.
