Game 1:
Game 2:
Transaction: With
Brice Matthews continuing to not hit, we needed a 2B so we went outside the organization and signed veteran
Nico Hoerner, who was surprisingly out of a job. Matthews was sent back to Durham and to make room on the 40-man
Mason Englert was DFA'd.
Game 3:
Two of the top teams in the AL battled in a playoff-like series in which a grand total of nine runs combined was scored by the teams with Tampa Bay fortunate to prevail in two of the games.
Players of the Week:
AL: Anthony Volpe (NY), 10-26, 2 HR, 4 RBI
NL: Nick Martini (COL), 11-26, 2 HR, 6 RBI
MLB News: San Diego's Xander Bogaerts collected his 2000th career hit while Cincinnati lost superstar SS Elly De La Cruz for three weeks with a strained back.
Next up for the Rays: After a day off Arizona visits for 3 games.
