Some league news: Michael Givens was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Chicago Cubs. The Orioles received minor leaguers 1B Dante Blaise, RP Jacob Widener.

I“ve offered contracts to all of the draft picks. We faced the St Louis Cardinals and managed to take the first W of the series by a one-run margin. It was Yamamoto“s 10 start of the season and he struggled a bit as he lasted 5.2 innings and gave up 3 runs. Nick Anderson had a great relief outing and went 2.2 shutout innings with 4 strikeouts. Tommy Eveld loaded the bases in the ninth but got out of a jam and had his fifth save of the season. Jorge Soler had a clutch homer in the ninth that gave us the lead. Mike Ford is still showing some improvement vs his last year stats, he has a season average of .270.

We had back to back wins as a great offensive performance helped overlook the struggles of the starting pitcher, Martin Perez, and the long reliever Sandy Alcantara. Kike Hernandez and James McCann were the stars of the game as both went 3 for 5 with 3 RBI“s and no one left on base. Keller showed some signs of improvement as he threw a clean inning. Austin Slater has been platooning with Trey Mancini and has been doing a good job since being called up.

We had our first sweep of the season! Another great offensive performance by the team. Everybody joined the party as nobody went hitless and only the pitcher was not credited with an RBI. Slater and Ford had homers and Tim Anderson had 3 RBI“s with a bases-clearing triple. Victor Victor Mesa had three hits in five plate appearances. Caleb Smith was great, 6.1 innings with only one run allowed. It was a very good series in St Louis as the offense showed the power we“ve been expecting.

League news: The Rangers and the Pirates have made a two-player trade. Rangers received RHP Trevor Williams and RHP Valentin Linarez and sent to the Pirates LF Marcel Ozuna and SS Derek Cartaya.

We traveled back home and lost the first game of the series vs the Padres. Logan Allen, the 23-year-old starter of the Padres, had the best game of his young career and threw a complete game allowing only one run. In our side, Zac Gallen struggled and gave up 4 runs in 4 innings pitched. James McCann's solo shot in the 4th was our only run of the game. Melky Cabrera played his second game of the season and went 0 for 3 with a strikeout.

Our second round pick 3B Jaden Agassi has signed with the team.
Our fourth-round pick SP Levi Pratter has signed with the team.

League news: The pirates have traded Starling Marte and minor leaguer Braede Loege to the Indians receiving minor leaguers Ethan Hankins, Josh Rolette, and Brandon Benavente.

Back to back home losses as the Padres batted Dallas Keuchel around in the first innings of the game. Keuchel finished with 5 earned runs in 4 innings pitched, his ERA if over 3.00 for the first time this season. On the other hand, Luchessi and the Padres pitchers were inducing ground balls and only allowed one run in 5 hits. The run cames thanks to a James McCann single.

We erased all the good things done at the start of the week with another loss to the Padres at home. An error from Scooter Gennett with 2 outs in the 6th innings helped the Padres score three runs. Those were the difference as they won by 6 to 3. Yamamoto was decent as he allowed 3 runs in 5 innings and Bautista, Alcantara, and Eveld had clean outings. Jorge Soler had his 13th homer of the year.

League news: Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays was diagnosed with forearm inflammation and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
