Manny Machado is settling in nicely with the Los Angeles Dodgers Troy Tulowitzki Jersey , and there's an excellent chance he can be the piece the team needed to remain in front of the National League West through the regular season. Perhaps the ex-Baltimore Oriole's presence will be enough to get the Dodgers back to the World Series once again.Other trades will likely be executed before the July 31 deadline, and the Orioles could be involved in more of them, and it would not be a shock if the New York Yankees become a trade partner.Teams usually don't like to trade within their own division, but it appears the O's are multiple seasons away from contender status, so they might not mind making a deal with one of their traditional rivals.As strong as the New York bullpen appears on paper, there have to be a number of concerns with left-hander Aroldis Chapman. He had a disastrous performance Saturday against the New York Mets in which he could not retire a batter with a big lead in the ninth inning, and if he had not been rescued by Chasen Shreve, the Yankees could have allowed a sure victory to turn into an embarrassing loss.But even if Chapman was performing better, the Yankees would still have an interest in Oriole reliever Zach Britton. When Britton is on his game Marcus Stroman Jersey , his power sinker is a nearly unhittable pitch.According to MLB Network'sJon Heyman, the Yankees are one of seven teams with interest in bringing Britton aboard.The other teams include the Atlanta Braves, Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros and Dodgers are all involved in the possible transaction. Heyman also tweeted that other teams could also pursue Britton.Britton has a 1-0 record with a 3.45 earned-run average and four saves in his 16 appearances since his Achilles injury kept him out in the first part of the year.General manager Brian Cashman is never going to be satisfied with his roster until the Yankees bring home another World Series title, and since they are five games behind the Red Sox in the American League East, there is much to do.The changes on the roster could come in the form of J.A. Happ of the Toronto Blue Jays or Cole Hamels of the Texas Rangers.Happ or Hamels could fill the role of a No. 4 or 5 starter, but the key is the price the Yankees will have to pay to pick up one of the two pitchers.Neither pitcher would require the Yankees to give up a top prospect like pitcher Justus Sheffield or center fielder Estevan Florial http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-devon-travis-jersey , according to Andy Martino of SNY.tv. Instead, it would most likely require the Yankees to give up a solid minor leaguer.That still may be too high a price for the Yankees at this point.However, as the trade deadline comes closer, Cashman may have to change his assessment if the Bronx Bombers are going to complete a deal for starting pitching depth. HOUSTON (AP) — Even Andrew Heaney couldn’t remember his last road win.“Apparently, it’s been awhile,” the left-hander said.Heaney pitched six scoreless innings, Andrelton Simmons capped a four-run sixth inning with a three-run double and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 5-2 Thursday night.Heaney (8-8) scattered five hits with six strikeouts to earn his first road win since Sept. 2, 2015, at Oakland http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-roy-halladay-jersey , a span of 17 straight road starts.“Heater was good,” Heaney said. “Breaking ball mixed in at times, and I really didn’t throw the changeup all that much. … I got some timely outs. I kept them from building that big inning.”After missing all but one start in 2016 with Tommy John surgery and starting just five games in 2017 — including three on the road— he began the day 0-5 in 12 road starts this season.Heaney, who allowed five runs in six innings in his last start Friday against the Astros, improved to 3-1 against Houston this season and allowed fewer than two runs in three of the four outings.“Coming from just facing them last week, it looked like his command was where it needed to be,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “He had all his pitches working. He pitched ahead in counts. He checked all the boxes that should lead to a great outing.”Heaney’s only other shutout start this season was June 5 against Kansas City in which he threw a one-hitter. He had allowed 11 runs in his last two starts.“We saw him a couple days ago and he didn’t quite have the velo that he had tonight,” Houston manager AJ Hinch said. “And then I think four out of the first five innings we had baserunners and they were erased one way or another, so he was able to escape any baserunners that we had. He threw a really good game.After Tony Sipp walked Shohei Otani to load the bases in the sixth Dalton Pompey Jersey , Simmons cleared them with a double off Will Harris to push the Angels’ lead to 4-0. Simmons finished with three hits.Justin Upton, who was reinstated off the disabled list earlier in the day, put the Angels on top 1-0 with an RBI single to right earlier in the inning, chasing Justin Verlander. Kole Calhoun started the inning with a double and moved to third on Mike Trout’s one-out single.“We got some big hits in the sixth inning,” Scioscia said. “We haven’t gotten too many good looks at Justin all year, but tonight, we got him in the sixth.”Ohtani scored on Chris Devenski’s balk in the eighth to increase the lead to 5-0.The AL-West leading Astros began the day 2 1/2 games up on Oakland.Verlander (13-9) allowed three runs and five hits but struck out 11 in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed three or more runs for the third straight start.“Not great; we lost,” Verlander said of his night. “Feel like I had good stuff. Unfortunately, I gave up a couple hits in a row and those guys were able to capitalize on it.”Tyler White hit a two-run homer to left field in the ninth as Houston avoided the shutout.TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: RHP Ohtani (right UCL sprain) will start Sunday against the Astros. Ohtani http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-roberto-osuna-jersey , who threw a simulated game on Saturday, last pitched for the Angels on June 6. … 1B Albert Pujols (left knee) was placed on the 10-day disabled list after undergoing an arthroscopic debridement in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The general timetable to return to playing from the procedure is at least six weeks. “That’s a big loss for us,” Scioscia said. “I think Albert is part of the heart and soul of this club.” … RHP Matt Shoemaker will join the team in Houston and throw a bullpen sometime during the weekend, with the possibility of joining the rotation sometime early next week if everything goes well, Scioscia said. Shoemaker threw four hitless innings allowing one unearned run on two walks and six strikeouts Wednesday in a rehab start with Class A Inland Empire. … C Jose Briceno was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake Thursday.Astros: C Brian McCann (right knee) will catch on Saturday, Hinch said. McCann has been on the disabled list since July 1.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Jaime Barria (8-8, 3.67 ERA) will make his 21st start of the season Friday against the Astros looking to rebound after allowing four runs in three innings in his last start Saturday against them.Astros: LHP Framber Valdez (2-0, 0.96) will make his first career home start Friday against the Angels looking for another good outing after allowing one run in five innings in his last start Saturday against them.
