May 18th, 2019: I sent Jose Iglesias to A Delmarva where I am going to work on his versatility a bit during his rehab assignment. He'll start playing third base.
The Twins will be without RHP John Curtiss for the year with bone chips in his elbow. He was 0-1 with a 3.95 ERA in 13.2 innings with an impressive 22 strike outs.
Game two saw Erasmo Ramirez (1-1, 3.04 ERA, 0.97 WHIP) make his first start of the season against the lefty Sean Manaea (5-1, 2.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP). We got 5 in the fourth and won the series a day early with a 6-3 win.

After sweping the first place A's, we have a day off to travel to Atlanta for a two game series.
May 20th, 2019: At 26-16, we are up all the way to second in the Power Rankings.
Off to Atlanta for a quick two game stop where we will see Shane Carle (1-3, 4.89 ERA) and Patrick Weigel (0-5, 7.05 ERA).
May 21st, 2019: Our game got postponed today, so we'll have a double header tomorrow before another off day.
May 22nd, 2019: Game one of the double header saw Aaron Sanchez (2-3, 3.68 ERA, 0.97 WHIP) battle Shane Carle (1-3, 4.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP). It was a close one, but Sanchez pitched a gem, and we won 3-1 to extend our win streak to 10.
Sanchez, as mentioned, was brilliant, going 8 innings with 2 hits, a run, walk, and 10 strikeotus. Zach Britton finished the game 1-2-3 with a strikeout to earn his 9th save, saving the pen for game two.

White Sox RF Eloy Jimenez was 5-for-5 in an 8-7 loss to the Indians.
Game two saw former Brave Max Fried (2-1, 2.86 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) face Mike Soroka (2-5, 5.67 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). This universe/my scout doesn't see Soroka as good as he is in my Marlins dynasty. The Braves got two in the 9th, but we were able to hold them off for an 8-6 win as we swept the double header.
Lewis Brinson and Nathan Eovaldi both left with day-to-day injuries, but won't undergo DL stints.
Fried only went 4.2 with 8 hits, 4 runs, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Eovaldi got the win, 2.1 perfect innings with 3 strikeouts. Mychal Givens got just one out in the ninnth, and allowed a hit, 2 runs, and a walk before Britton allowed a hit and got the final two outs for his 10th save and second of the day.
Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-4 with a two run and solo homer. Victor Reyes was 3-for-5 with a double, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's. Jose Peraza was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Tim Beckham was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Brinson had an RBI double in his only at bat before leaving with dehydration.
We get tomorrow off, before continuing our road trip and hopefully our extremely impressive run as of late.
