on Thursday at Fenway Park.They got to 90 before any other team in the major leagues reached 80.But this weekend John Jaso Jersey , Boston, winners of the final two games of a four-game series with the Cleveland Indians to pick up a split, run into a young Tampa Bay club on a roll.Article continues below ...It started last Sunday, when Diego Castillo was the “opener” and former Red Sox prospect Jalen Beeks won in relief as the Rays handed Hector Velazquez his first loss of the season.On Friday night, Castillo again opens for Tampa Bay, winners of five straight games to get to a season-high six games above .500, at The Trop and Beeks is expected to pitch much of the body of the game.Oh, and Velazquez starts for the Red Sox (90-39).The Rays flew home from Boston and swept four straight from the lowly Kansas City Royals, finishing a 7-0 sweep of the season series on a walk-off throwing error Thursday night.It’s the first sweep of a season series against an American League opponent in the history of the franchise.“Four-game sweep, it’s awesome — we’ve having a lot of fun right now, so hopefully just keep it rolling,” said Kevin Kiermaier, whose grounder led to the Ryan O’Hearn throwing error that gave the Rays their eighth walkoff win of the season.Earlier in the day http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-jordy-mercer-jersey , David Price, 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA since the All-Star break, threw eight shutout innings and the Red Sox broke a scoreless tie with a six-run fifth inning to rout the Indians in the finale of the potential postseason matchup.Asked if this is his best stretch with the Red Sox since signing a $217 million contract, Price, who won his 14th game, said, “By far. Absolutely. To not have that really bad game mixed in at some point, that’s good. This is the pitcher Boston signed. So for me to get back to that, it’s about time.”The Red Sox lost Mitch Moreland in the first inning to a left knee bruise suffered when trying to catch a foul pop and sliding into a concrete barrier. He stayed in the game but was limping when he singled in the bottom of the first and left — in favor of Blake Swihart. The latter contributed a two-run double in the big fifth.“Little sore,” Moreland said after the game. “Went after the ball in the first there, concrete ledge on the field that I kind of went into. I hit the outside of it pretty good. But it’s getting better. A little sore right now though.”The Red Sox are 11-5 against the Rays this season. Velazquez is 1-1 and Friday’s appearance will give him half his starts against Tampa Bay. He is 1-1 with a 2.12 ERA in 17 innings pitched against the Rays.Boston’s lead over the New York Yankees atop the American League East, which had dropped from 10 1/2 to eight games, is back up to 9 1/2.Castillo went 1 2/3 innings as the “opener” last Sunday before Beeks Corey Dickerson Jersey , acquired from Boston in the Nathan Eovaldi deal, threw four shutout innings, allowing just one hit, to beat his old team.Now, he’ll apparently get the chance to help his new team win its sixth straight.Sergio Romo picked up the win in relief Thursday night, as the Rays improved to 37-24 at The Trop.Matt Duffy is 5-for-7 (.714) against Velazquez, and Joey Wendle homered off the right-hander leading off the second inning last Sunday.Eovaldi pitches against his former team Sunday, when he will face 15-game winner Blake Snell. The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping recent MLB history repeats itself.The Dodgers pulled off the biggest move of the 2018 trade season when they acquired superstar shortstop Manny Machado from the Baltimore Orioles one day after the All-Star Game.The Dodgers gave up minor league prospectsRylan Bannon, Yusniel Diaz, Dean Kremer, Zach Pop and Breyvic Valera to get Machado.A year ago, the Houston Astros acquired right-handed starter Justin Verlander prior to the trade deadline, and his arrival helped them capture the 2017 World Series. The Chicago Cubs traded for closer Aroldis Chapman a year earlier and were able to win the World Series over the Cleveland Indians in 2016.Machado Austin Meadows Jersey , who is scheduled to become a free agent at the conclusion of this season, told the Baltimore Sun's Jon Meoli before his trade that he wants to play shortstop throughout the rest of his career. He moved from third base to shortstop this year, but he has been forced to play third base for the Dodgers due to Justin Turner's groin injury. Turner is on the 10-day disabled listDodgers manager Dave Roberts told Andy McCullough of theLos Angeles Timesthat Machado was quite willing to return to third base to help the team while Turner is out with a groin injury.Machado has a .312/.385/.564 slash line with 25 home runs and 67 RBI this season, and one of those home runs came in a Dodger uniform.The Orioles have not stopped since trading Machado, either, sending closer Zach Britton to the New York Yankees for pitching prospectsDillon Tate, Cody Carroll and Josh Rogers on Wednesday. Tate and Carroll are right-handed pitchers, while Rogers is a southpaw.The move seemed curious on the surface because the Yankees had perhaps the game's most powerful bullpen with Chapman, Dellin Betances, David Robertson and Chad Green. However, Chapman has struggled quite a bit in the last month. He has a 7.20 ERA in his last seven appearances, and knee issues may keep him from being at his best.The addition of Britton could pay huge dividends for the Yankees if Chapman does not regain his best form.Teams still have three more days to complete trades before Tuesday's trade deadline, and big names could continue to be on the move.Adam Jones could be the next Oriole on the move prior to the trade deadline.Gail Burton/Associated PressThe Orioles may continue their housecleaning by moving five-time All-Star outfielder Adam Jones. MLB Network's Jon Morositweeted that the Indians and the Philadelphia Phillies both have interest in Jones.Cleveland is in excellent shape to win the AL Central title http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-colin-moran-jersey , but the Indians know the biggest battles will come in the postseason against potential opponents such as the Boston Red Sox, Astros and Yankees. Adding a big bat like Jones could pay huge dividends for the Indians, who lost the seventh game of the World Series in extra innings to the Cubs two years ago.The Phillies have a narrow 2.5-game edge over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, but the battle could go down to the final days of the regular season. The presence of Jones in the lineup could give the Phillies the edge.Jones has a .281/.307/.430 slash line with 11 home runs and 42 RBI going into Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson is not a superstar, but he has become a dependable pitcher for the Twins with a 3.42 ERA and 126 strikeouts in 129 innings. He shut down the hard-hitting Red Sox at Fenway Park Thursday night by allowing just one run in an eight-inning effort, and he looks like he could be an excellent add for any contending team.Predictably, he is generating interest, according to Fox Sports'Ken Rosenthal. However, if the Twins would need an impressive package in return to move Gibson since he is not eligible to become a free agent until 2020.
