Beitrag For an encore
DENVER (AP) — For an encore Ryan Rua Jersey , Ryan McMahon delivered another powerful swing, one that was even more memorable than the first.McMahon hit a three-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning — his second go-ahead homer in as many nights — and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Saturday night.“I thought last night was the greatest night of my life,” McMahon said. “Shortly after, I found out this was. It was pretty cool.”McMahon’s drive off reliever J.T. Chargois (2-4) cleared the right-field wall just above the out-of-town scoreboard. He hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning of Friday night’s 5-4 victory over the Dodgers.“These wins mean a lot,” said Carlos Gonzalez, who had two hits. “We’ve had some tough losses recently, and being able to catch our breath, with a win like we had tonight, and the last win too, when Mac hit that home run late, it’s a great feeling. It’s what a really good team needs to take the next step.”Bryan Shaw (4-5) picked up the victory with an inning of scoreless relief for the Rockies, who moved within 1½ games of their NL West rivals. The Dodgers are tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the division lead.The Rockies, who were missing All-Star Nolan Arenado in the starting lineup because of a shoulder injury, were handcuffed most of the night by Walker Buehler, who pitched seven scoreless innings. He struck out six, walked three and benefited from three double plays.With regular closer Kenley Jansen on the disabled list because of an irregular heartbeat Drew Robinson Jersey , the Dodgers turned first to Caleb Ferguson, who pitched a hitless eighth. Scott Alexander fanned Gonzalez to start the ninth and was relieved by Chargois after giving up a double to Trevor Story.“Obviously, you don’t have that guy that has proven to get out of the ninth inning,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s where we are at right now. We talked about closer by committee and giving guys opportunities. And the matchups that we feel will give us the best chance to get the last three outs.”Chargois hit pinch-hitter Arenado with a pitch before getting Ian Desmond to ground into a fielder’s choice for the second out in the ninth.That brought up McMahon, who connected on a 1-0 offering, triggering an exuberant celebration around the plate. He tossed his batting helmet in the air and was doused with water and popcorn as he got bear hugs from his teammates.“I was trying to attack Arenado with sliders and get ahead of him. It didn’t work out,” Chargois said. “I battled with Desmond and got a ground ball. I left that pitch up to McMahon.”Kyle Freeland struck out a career-high 10 in seven innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits, but got into early trouble.Freeland allowed a double to Manny Machado, followed by a run-scoring triple to Justin Turner in the first.Yasiel Puig then connected on a 1-2 offering in the second, driving it deep into the left field bleachers for his 15th homer.TRAINER’S ROOMDodgers: C Austin Barnes started in place of Yasmani Grandal, who was given a day off. … LHP Alex Wood (hamstring) is expected to reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and start Tuesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants. … LHP Julio Urias took another step in his rehab from June 2017 shoulder surgery when he pitched 1 1/3 innings for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday night.Rockies: Arenado was held out of the starting lineup because of a right shoulder strain that also forced him to leave Friday night’s game early.UP NEXTDodgers: LHP Rich Hill (5-4, 3.62 ERA) makes his first at Coors Field in 10 years. He last pitched at the hitter-friendly park on April 23, 2008, for the Chicago Cubs, when he allowed two runs on three hits in five innings.Rockies: RHP Chad Bettis (5-2 http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-alex-claudio-jersey , 5.67 ERA) is slated to make his second start since being reinstated from the 10-day DL. Bettis, who returned from a blister on his right middle finger, allowed a season-high nine runs in 4 2/3 innings in a loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Mitchell Layton/Getty ImagesThe annual GM meetings are underway from Carlsbad, California, and the MLB offseason is now in full swing with free agency officially open.While the GM meetings generally don't bring the hotbed of activity that we see during December's winter meetings, what they do provide is plenty of rumor mill fodder and the potential groundwork for future deals to be struck.With that in mind, let's take a quick look at some of the notable MLB rumors that have trickled out in recent days.Chicago White Sox Showing Interest in Bryce HarperandManny MachadoManny MachadoEzra Shaw/Getty ImagesThe Philadelphia Phillies have been prominently linked to both Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, with an outside chance they could make a run at signing both superstars.They're not the only team well-positioned to pursue such a strategy, though, as Jon Morosi of MLB.com wrote:"After the Phillies, the White Sox are perhaps the best candidate to pursue both Machado and Harper鈥攁lthough there's no guarantee they will land either. At present, the White Sox have the second-lowest payroll commitment of any MLB team for 2019. WithJose Abreuentering his final season before free agency, the White Sox need a new face of the franchise. Chicago's affinity for Machado is well-established, as it pursued him via the trade market last offseason"He later confirmed that the White Sox are indeed interested in both players.Jon Morosi jonmorosi#WhiteSox interested in *both* Manny Machado and Bryce Harper, source confirms, although it鈥檚 too early to know how realistic it is for them to sign either. #WhiteSox have second lowest current 2019 payroll commitment of any MLB team. Story: vSXgIqh3VL MLBNetworkThe White Sox were still very much in the rebuilding stage this past season on their way to a 62-100 record Robinson Chirinos Jersey , but there's reason for optimism going forward.Aside from their aforementioned financial flexibility, they also have one of the deepest farmsystems in baseball鈥攁 group that took the No. 4 spot in our final farm system rankings of the year back in September.Adding Harper and/or Machado as foundational pieces alongside promising young players like Reynaldo Lopez, Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada would expedite the contention timeline while they wait on the arrival of top-tier prospects like Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease and Luis Robert.The big question will be whether they can convince either player to sign on with a team that is headed in the right direction but not quite there yet.Prediction:Harper re-signs with the Nationals, Machado signs with the Phillies Cincinnati Reds Targeting Top-Tier Starting Pitching HelpPatrick CorbinDenis Poroy/Getty ImagesThe Cincinnati Reds ranked 25th in the majors with a 5.02 starters' ERA this past season.That effectively undermined a dangerous offense and an excellent bullpen, and the team finished in the NL Central cellar for a fourth straight season as a result.It should come as no surprise then that the team is eyeing rotation help this offseason, though they're setting their sights a bit higher than some might have expected.Jon Morosi jonmorosi#Reds showing interest in multiple starting pitchers early in free agency, sources say. Patrick Corbin and J.A. Happ are among the starters they like. MLBNetwork MLBWith Clayton Kershaw and David Price both staying put, Corbin is the top starting pitcher on the market this winter, and a hefty payday is coming his way as a result.The 29-year-old went 11-7 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 200 innings this season, finishing third in the NL with 246 strikeouts.In three career starts at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark鈥攇enerally one of the more hitter-friendly parks in baseball鈥攈e's gone 2-0 with a 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and an 18-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 18 innings.A five-year, $100 million contract could wind up being his earning floor, with things climbing from there depending on how many teams get involved.Happ, 36, could prove equally impactful for a fraction of the cost.The left-hander just wrapped up a three-year Curtis Granderson Jersey , $36 million deal, and a similar contract with a slight raise seems reasonable given his age.He finished the 2018 season on a high note, going 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 63 strikeouts in 63.2 innings over 11 starts with the New York Yankees following a midseason trade.He'd bring a veteran presence to a young pitching staff, and help eat some innings after averaging 155 per year over the past eight seasons.Dallas Keuchel, Nathan Eovaldi, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Harvey, Anibal Sanchez, Clay Buchholz, Jeremy Hellickson, Derek Holland and Wade Miley are among the other available starters the team could pursue.Prediction:Corbin and Happ both sign elsewhere, the Reds re-sign Matt Harvey and sign Jeremy HellicksonAll stats courtesy of Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, unless otherwise noted.
