Rays Back Archer with 4 HRs, Pound

Former Clemson Tiger infielder Richie Shaffer is expected to be called up to the majors for the first time with the Tampa Bay Rays today.

“I feel fine”, Sale said. It’s just not showing up. “We need to get back know it’s there because I’ve seen it”.

Sale fell to 1-3 in his past four starts.

White Sox relievers Jake Petricka, Zach Duke and David Robertson each gave up a run in the final three innings as Chicago’s one-run lead heading into the eighth disappeared.

Tampa Bay got on the board in the top of the third inning. Shaffer joins the team after a huge couple of months at Triple-A Durham that saw him hit to a.265/.359/.595 line with 16 home runs, and he is with the Rays to play just about every game. It continued a trend for the Rays, who scored all of their runs with two outs.

A soft single to right by Asdrubal Cabrera drove Forsythe home, giving the Rays their second run of the game.

The Rays swept three from the White Sox in these clubs’ first meeting of 2015 at Tropicana Field, evening up the series at five games apiece since the beginning of last season.

White Sox: LHP Chris Sale (9-6, 3.20), who was roughed up for seven runs and a career-high 12 hits in his last start against the Red Sox, looks to rebound against the Rays.

Archer, who retired the first 19 batters in a loss to Detroit last week, finally got a win after going 0-4 in his previous six starts. He also walked two and struck out three.

McCutchen hit a solo homer in the third and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 6-4.

He left trailing 5-1 after Kiermaier blooped an RBI single to center. Another run followed when Adam Eaton’s throw home went through catcher Tyler Flowers’ legs, scored as a missed catch error.

Samardzija says that among many factors, the pitching coach he’d be working with will definitely influence his decision. We can just sneak up on teams. Ultimately there’s a ball trickling in. “I doubt that will successfully happen”. “Yeah, not a very good job”.

The White Sox’s recent seven-game win streak was a July surprise.

Ventura and Ryan provided one of the more memorable images. The White Sox have a 42-43 record against right-handed starting pitchers on the year, which is what they’ll be facing when Ramirez takes the mound.

“I don’t really get walking Cabrera but it’s not my choice”, Boxberger said. While the Blue Jays made a huge statement this past week at the trade deadline, the Rays have already won eight of thirteen games against Toronto.
