Game Notes

Kza Ton gets the day off in favor of Moya. His brother Melvin having a much better year thus far.

-- Rookie Michael Fulmer produced his best outing in the majors in yesterday's win, making a case to stay in the rotation even when Shane Greene returns. Now it's Zimmermann's turn. J-Zimm has pitched at least seven innings in four straight starts, and is fifth in the American League in ERA. ... Archer is the Rays' ace, though he hasn't completed seven innings in any of his nine starts this season.

Archer maybe gone quick.

Maybin with a great catch at the wall in center. This kid looks fantastic.

 

[manchild98]

Lettuce with an rbi triple.

 

[gotime909]

Miggy has been hot the last 2 weeks. Awesome to see!!

homered to CF again.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Seeing eye single for Maybin. Whatever he hits gets through for a hit. On fire.

 

[tigermud]

Zimmermann out after 5 2/3 th with what appeared to be a grion tweak or pull

 

[gotime909]

Oh boy

 

[tigermud]

Right grion strain

 

[biggunsbob]

Our sweet pen strikes again. That was a bomb.

 

[gotime909]

VerHagen isn't throwing strikes so let's keep him in there

Verhagen has been a hot mess. How long does he occupy a roster spot? Get his ass off the team and promote someone, anyone, from Toledo.

I was only watching gamecast, was the miggy injury serious?

Looked like it hit just below the knee but hard to say for sure he tried to walk it off but came out from first couple pitches later

Meanwhile pen insist on making this tough

Yeah I don't think it got his knee...more like a bruise above the very top of the side of the calf. But that will be tight the next couple days. Sucks if we have to sit him not matter what but especiallu with his hot bat.

 

[manchild98]

VMart 2 run opposite field jack. 9-4.

 

[manchild98]

Another win. Hopefully Zimmerman and Miggy's injuries don't linger. I'm more worried about Z....groins don't tend to heal fast.

 

[biggunsbob]

Well I'll be darn we take 2 of 3 and inch closer to .500.

Anyone else think the best off season pick up this year was Kristen Keith???
