Player Spotlight: Mr. Clutch

From his game winning double against the Cubbies to his spectacular game-tying homer in the ninth on Wednesday against the Tribe, Gabe Gross has come through in the best of times. He has definately earned the nickname “Mr. Clutch” this year. I think he has played well enough to earn an everyday roll in right, but then you don’t have anywhere for Eric Hinske. When Gabe Gross pinch-hits or gets his occasional start, he makes the most of it. A typical 8th inning defensive replacement has turned into a more than reliable pinch-hitter. Congrats Gabe, and thanks for the great finishes.

 

Reyes DFA’d

Al Reyes was inevitably released to make room for newly acquired Chad Bradford. He hasn’t been the same pitcher this year as he was last year.

James Shields pitches another gem, as the Rays slide past AJ Burnett and the Blue Jays.

Ben Zobrist pushes us to another win with his 4th home run of the season. This win will be a huge confidence builder as we head to the second half. It will sure be interesting to see what happens. Will the Red Sox and Yankees surge? If they do, can the Rays hold them off? We will have to wait and see.
 
Other Rays News:
Al Reyes was activated off the 15-day DL taking the roster spot of Reid Brignac that was opened when he was sent down before the All Star break. This will boost the back end of the bullpen until Troy Percival is activated.
 
Carl Crawford breaks out of his 0 for 25 slump with a hit on Friday. This could help jump start the Rays after their losing streak.
