The Rays are in a rebuilding process, where they have kept some of their pitching staff. But they are probably looking at sending This Afternoon's Pitcher Chris Archer to a contender.

This Afternoon's Pitchers are a pair of right handers. Chris Archer for the Rays and Miguel Gonzalez for the White Sox. Archer has not gotten a decision in 2018, with a 6.55 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP, 3.50 K/BB, and a 3.77 P/PA. Gonzalez; in 2018, is 0-1, with a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 ERA, 2.00 K/BB, and a 3.56 P/PA.

Final Thoughts: Well Kershaw didn't have his 'A" game, but he gave the Dodgers 7  shutout innings, off 7 Ks, 1 BB.  But he needed the tablesetting of Chris Taylor who got on base, got over, and scored. 1 run was all Kershaw and the Dodger pitching staff needed in their 1-0 win, over the White Sox.

     The Dodgers extends their winning streak to 10 games.  Kershaw has won in 14 consecutive decisions.  And the Dodgers have won 30 out of their last 34 games.

​     As for the White Sox, they are in a fire sale.  And they it is looking like they will part ways with Frazier and a couple of relievers David Robertson is one of those relievers.
