July 26th-July 31st

July 26th, 2019: In our first game since the All-Star break, Shelby Miller (8-6, 3.56 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) took on Jake Arrieta (7-7, 3.14 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) as we hosted the Phillies with nearly 49,000 people in the stands. We got five in the fifth to take the opener 6-2 to continue our now 7 game win streak.

Miller went 6 with 4 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Alex Colome tossed 2 innings with 2 hits, a walk, and a strike out.

Chance Sisco was 1-for-4 with a three run homer. Nolan Arenado was 1-for-3 with a hit by pitch and run scored. Jose Peraza was 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Andrelton Simmons was 1-for-3 with a walk, double, and run scored in his first game with the team. Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. Anthony Alford was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored. Trey Mancini was 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Corey Kluber tossed a 3-hit shutout as the Indians beat the Red Sox 9-0.

July 27th, 2019: The Angels acquired LF Jay Bruce from the Mets for RHP Matt Shoemaker. It's a steal for the Mets, especially considering that Bruce is injured with an uncertain return.

The middle game saw Reynaldo Lopez (8-3, 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) face Zack Wheeler (5-6, 5.87 ERA, 1.47 WHIP). We didn't have a five run inning, but we won by the same score, 6-2.

Lopez went 7 with 6 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Kevin Gausman came out of the pen, tossing 2 innings with 2 hits, a run, walk, and 3 strikeouts. Not sure who replaced him in the rotation.

Nolan Arenado was 1-for-3 with a two run homer and da walk. Trey Mancini was 1-for-3 with a run scored, RBI, walk, and double. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-3 with a double, run scored, sac-fly and RBI. Lewis Brinson was 1-for-3 with a steal, walk, and 2 runs scored. Anthony Alford was 1-for-3 with a walk and RBI.

July 28th, 2019: We looked to finish the sweep wtih Erasmo Ramirez (3-4, 4.09 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) facing Nick Pivetta (6-8, 4.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP). It took 10 innings, but the Phillies edged us 4-3 to salvage the finale.

Ramirez pitched well, 7 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Zach Britton got the loss, 1.1 innings with 2 hits, a run, a walk, and 3 strikeouts.

Lewis Brinson was 3-for-5 with a solo homer. Jonathan Schoop was 3-for-5 wiht an RBI. Nolan Arenado was 3-for-5 with 2 runs scored. Chance Sisco was 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and an RBI.

Angels SP/RF Shoehi Ohtani hit for the cycle in a 18-7 win over the Rangers.

I made a quick traded to boost the lineup, sending 2B Yolmer Sanchez to the Diamondbacks for LF David Peralta.

An impending free agent, Peralta is a solid lefty hitter who plays excellent left field defense. The 31-year-old is hitting .271/.353/.428 wtih 10 homers and 44 RBI's in 339 at bats with the D'Backs.

We're off to New York to face the first place Yankees for three. We'll see Hidetsugu Nakasone (11-4, 3.29 ERA), Nathan Karns (9-3, 3.64 ERA), and Sonny Gray (6-7, 3.94 ERA) before the deadline.

July 29th, 2019: The North Siders sent 1B Victor Caratini and RHP Erich Uelmen to the South Siders for RHP Jacob Turner and 1B Gavin Sheets. It's a fair trade for both teams.

We opened the series with Miles Mikolas (7-4, 3.48 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) making his Baltimore debut against Hidetsugu Nakasone (!1-4, 3.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP). It was a close one, but we held the Yanks off for a 3-1 series openening win.

Mikolas went 7 innings with 5 hits, a run, and 4 strikeouts. Boone Logan and Zach Britton got holds before Blake Treinen got the save.

David Peralta had a nice debut, 1-for-3 with a solo homer in the 8th. Lewis Brinson was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-3 with a solo homer. Anthony Alford was 1-for-3 with a walk and steal.

I sent Alex Cobb to Frederick for a rehab assignment.

July 30th, 2019: Aaron Sanchez (8-5, 2.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP) took on Nathan Karns (9-3, 3.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) as we looked for another win. Get this, after the fifth, the game was tied at 1. Fast foward all the way to the 14th, and we put up 7 runs! Yes, 7! It was off reliever Luis Avilan, who the Yanks gave up decent prospects for. They got 1 back in the bottom half, but we won 8-2.

Sanchez went 6, allowing an unearned run with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Yes, all this could have been avoided... The pen was solid, 8 innings with 6 htis, a run, 4 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Kevin Gausman tossed 3.1 innings with 3 hits, a run, walk, and 3 strikeouts to get the win.

Nolan Arenado was 2-for-6 with a three run homer. Lewis Brinson was 2-for-6 with 2 triples, a walk, and a run score.d Jose Peraza was 3-for-6 with a run scored, RBI, and he was 1-for-3 on stolen base attempts. Anthony Alford was 1-for-6 with a walk and two run double.

July 31st, 2019: Happy deadline day!

The Angels acquired 1B Justin Smoak from the Blue Jays for C Kevin Plawecki and RHP Jamie Callahan. I like this deal for the Blue Jays.

We looked to win the sweep with Shelby Miller (9-6, 3.53 ERA, 1.28 WHIP) taking on Sonny Gray (6-7, 3.94 ERA, 1.40 WHIP). We couldn't sweep the first place team, and they edged us 5-3.

Miller allowed 4 in 5 innings with 8 hits, 5 runs, and 4 strikeouts. Jake Diekman got just 1 out and allowed a hit and run.

Lewis Brinson was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Trey Mancini was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Max Stassi was 2-for-3 with a RBI. Victor Reyes was 1-for-4 with a run scored and RBI.

We're headed home to face the Twins for four. We'll see Jose Berrios (3-7, 5.99 ERA), and Odrisamer Despaigne (4-2, 5.00 ERA), Wily Peralta (0-1, 6.66 ERA), and Phil Hughes (6-5, 4.04 ERA).
