Rays trade Matt Moore to Giants for three players including Matt Duffy

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays have an opening in their rotation. The Rays moved starting pitcher Matt Moore and his large contract to San Francisco, getting three players in return. Coming to Tampa Bay will be infielder Matt Duffy and minor league shortstop Lucius Fox. The Rays get Duffy, a lifetime .281 hitter (hitting .253 this season). Except for that, they kept to their blueprint and tried to improve their farm system. Also, the Rays sent outfielder/first baseman Steve Pierce back to Baltimore, where he played in previous seasons,…

The Tampa Bay Rays came from behind after the eighth inning. The Rays don’t do that. The Rays won on a walkoff hit. They don’t do that, either. Perhaps that’s why Sunday was a bit of fun for the Rays, who rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6. The Rays are now 2-62 when trailing after eight innings, and they have now won their second walkoff victory of the season. Baltimore had seemingly…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Well, welcome back, Jake. Jake Odorizzi gave the Tampa Bay Rays a shot in the arm Saturday afternoon. He returned to the mound for the first time since June 5, when he left with tightness in his left oblique, but didn’t look as if he had been gone at all. He allowed only two hits in his 5 ½ innings and struck out five in a 3-0 victory over the Houston Astros. For the second straight night, the 1-2-3 reliever…
