Post 2020 Week 17. (47-53)

We have arrived at the All-star weekend. There was some league news before the game as the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to trade shortstop Nick Ahmed to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor leaguers Erick Teran and Jesus Fernando Lopez.

The American League team won once again the all-star game. Bryce Harper was named MVP has he had a two-run homer in the third inning off Casey Mize.

League news: Hunter Renfroe was traded from San Diego to Arizona in exchange for minor leaguers Riley Smith and Brayan Perez.

After the all-star break, we played an interleague series at Tropicana Field. The Rays won in walk-off style as a run-scoring single by Brandon Lowe gave them the edge. Dallas Keuchel had a good game, he went 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs in 5 hits. Kole Calhoun connected a homer off him in the 4th inning. Tommy Eveld was credited with the loss as he gave up the decisive run in the ninth. Victor Victor Mesa had a good game as he went 2 for 4 with a double, a homer and a couple of RBI“s.

Back to back losses as the offense was shut down by Tampa“s pitching staff. All-star pitcher, Colin Poche, went 8 innings allowing no runs and only 4 hits. Jose Alvarado closed the game for Tampa and recorded his 24th save of the season. On our side, Yamamoto had a decent game as he went 6 innings and allowed two runs. The only two runs came thanks to a 2 run shot by Tommy Pham in the 4th inning. Riley Ferrell had a good relief outing and pitched 2 hitless innings.

League news: David Peralta was traded from the Diamondbacks to the O“s. Marcus Strootman was traded from the Blue Jays to the Indians in exchange for three low-level minor leaguers.

The last game of the interleague series was another one-run defeat and we“ve been swept for the third time this season. Martin Perez had a good outing for us as he just gave up 2 earned runs in seven innings. Nevertheless, he allowed 3 unearned runs in the 5th inning thanks to a fielding error by first baseman Mike Ford. Sandy Alcantara had a good performance in relief and he has a season ERA of 2.56. The offense managed to score 4 runs but it was insufficient. We are fading away from the NL Wild card race.

We“ve made a trade with the Kansas City Royals. We“ve sent Harold Ramirez and acquired Taijuan Walker. Zac Gallen was demoted to AAA to make a spot for Walker in the rotation.
