SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bobby Evans was fired Monday as the San Francisco Giants‘ general manager.The team said Evans will be reassigned http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-christian-arroyo-jersey , with responsibilities to be determined.The move came as the Giants began the final week of the season at 72-84, their second straight losing record.“I made the decision, really,” CEO Larry Baer said. “At this point, we needed to take a fresh approach to baseball operations.”The club will start a search for a new head of baseball operations.“We’re looking for someone that sort of is the ‘next gen’ general manager, if you will,” Baer said.“People will say ‘new school versus old school,’ people will say ‘analytics versus scouting,’ and I think that the new, next-generation general manager is able to do both, and will bring both to the mix.”Evans was hired by the Giants in 1994, became vice president of baseball operations in 2009 under general manager Brian Sabean and was promoted to GM in April 2015 when Sabean became executive vice president of baseball operations.“He’s a big part of our family tree http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-nathan-eovaldi-jersey ,” Sabean said. “I came into the organization in ’93 and I believe Bobby shortly thereafter in ’94. We’ve not only grown together in endeavors professionally with the Giants, we’ve grown together as people and it’s a big part of your lifetime.”The Giants won World Series championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014. They made the playoffs again in 2016, but are 166-224 since taking a major league-best 57-33 record into the All-Star break that year.Baer said the team is open to female candidates.“Sure,” he responded. “I haven’t considered anybody yet, since we’re just making this announcement now, but we would consider, of course, females.”Baer deflected the notion that the Giants were blaming Evans for their recent struggles.“Brian Sabean and Bobby Evans at the helm over 26 years, I would match their record with pretty much anybody in the sport and even beyond the sport,” Baer said. “So when we start talking about blame and start talking about that kind of thing, I mean I understand the question . you want to blame the last year and this year to some extent http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-daniel-robertson-jersey , but I don’t step back and think of this in terms of blame, I think of this in terms of it’s been an incredible run, an incredible journey, but it is time now to create the next — to create the blueprint of the future.” DETROIT (AP) Once Matthew Boyd escaped a couple early jams, the Detroit left-hander found a groove.”Early in the game, he had a couple guys on and it got real slow,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. ”He picked up the pace.”Boyd allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings, and Niko Goodrum homered in the fourth to lift the Tigers over the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Tuesday night. Gardenhire may have felt the game slowed down early, but the pace was hardly an issue overall. The game was over in 2 hours, 18 minutes.Homer Bailey (1-8) retired his first 11 batters before Goodrum went deep for his 10th home run of the year. The Tigers never gave up the lead. Boyd struck out seven and walked one before being lifted after 105 pitches.Shane Greene allowed a run in the ninth but held on for his 22nd save in 25 chances.Boyd (6-9) won his second straight start after going seven in a row without a victory.Bailey allowed only a hit and a walk through the first seven innings, but the Tigers added two more hits in the eighth, including an RBI double by Mike Gerber. Bailey did end up with his seventh career complete game and first since 2014.It was the first major league hit and RBI for Gerber.The Reds nearly took the lead in the fourth when Phillip Ervin and Joey Votto hit consecutive one-out doubles Matt Andriese Jersey , but it appeared Votto’s drive might be caught, so Ervin only made it from second to third, and Cincinnati wasn’t able to get him home.”Phil knows on that ball there’s one out. He’s got to get off the base far enough,” Reds manager Jim Riggleman said. ”If there’s nobody out, you’re tagging. He just made a mistake. That’s baseball. It happens. But I like the fact that he was out there twice for us with a double and a triple.”In the second, Eugenio Suarez was thrown out at the plate by Detroit center fielder JaCoby Jones.Suarez hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth.The Tigers improved to 2-9 in interleague play this year, and the Reds fell to 10-4.Bailey was in his second start back from a knee injury.”Mechanically I just feel so much better. I’m very confident in what I am doing,” he said. ”Probably as of a few weeks ago, I feel like I have a lot of things behind me, whether it’s injury, or getting back to feeling the way that I know I can pitch the way that I have in the past.”DEADLINE DAYDetroit traded outfielder Leonys Martin to Cleveland for a minor league infielder. That was the only deal for the Tigers on the day of the non-waiver trade deadline.Pitchers Mike Fiers and Francisco Liriano seemed like potential trade candidates, but nothing came together involving them.”The market was really flooded with a lot of good players http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-c.-j.-cron-jersey ,” Detroit general manager Al Avila said. ”We have some good players, but if you see the list of players that were available, you’re talking about, I think it’s a record number. I was trying to be optimistic, but at the same time, I knew it was going to be a tough year to make multiple trades.”Cincinnati traded outfielder Adam Duvall to Atlanta on Monday night, then had a quiet day Tuesday.Detroit recalled Gerber from Triple-A Toledo to take Martin’s spot on the roster. The Reds optioned right-handers Lucas Sims and Matt Wisler, who were acquired for Duvall, to Triple-A Louisville. Outfielder Preston Tucker, who Cincinnati also got in that trade, is on the major league roster but did not play Tuesday.TRAINER’S ROOMReds: OF Scott Schebler (right shoulder) had three hits Tuesday as part of a rehab assignment with Louisville.UP NEXTThe Tigers send Fiers (7-6) to the mound Wednesday against Cincinnati’s Sal Romano (6-8).—
