WASHINGTON (AP) — yoffs seven years ago. With a chance to end that rut http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-jackie-robinson-jersey , they’ve been aggressive in remaking their roster.Milwaukee brought in three more veterans on Friday, the deadline for traded players to be eligible to postseason play. They snagged left-handed starter Gio Gonzalez from the Washington Nationals, steady outfielder Curtis Granderson from the Toronto Blue Jays and lefty reliever Xavier Cedeno from the Chicago White Sox.Milwaukee was active, too, ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31, acquiring infielders Mike Moustakas and Jonathan Schoop. The Brewers hold the second NL wild-card spot and trail the first-place Chicago Cubs by four games in the NL Central.Gonzalez and Granderson both have postseason experience. Gonzalez won four NL East titles in a six-year stretch with the Nationals, and Granderson has reached the playoffs with four teams in his career — Detroit, the Yankees, the Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.Gonzalez changed from a Nationals uniform into a Brewers sweatshirt and cap after Milwaukee beat Washington 4-1 on Friday night for its third straight win. Leaving Washington was emotional for the left-hander, who is nonetheless excited about the opportunity.“I grew up here. I had my family here Kenley Jansen Jersey , my wife and my kids. It’s just sad but I’m happy,” Gonzalez said. “I’m really happy. I’m getting a second chance to redeem myself and I think this is a perfect opportunity with a team like the Brewers. I see there’s a hopefully a brighter future for me (with Milwaukee).”The 32-year-old Gonzalez, who will be a free agent after the season, has a career record of 124-97 with a 3.71 ERA in 308 games (302 starts) with Oakland and Washington. This year, he’s 7-11 with a 4.57 ERA in 27 starts.“The track record’s important, the success he’s had is important and we feel like we’re adding a good pitcher to our staff,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.Counsell said it’s possible that Gonzalez would work out of the bullpen.“Look, we’re at the stage where we’re just getting outs and we’re gonna try to get 27 outs a game,” Cousell said. “If there’s a spot to use him in relief, I would consider that as I would for all these guys.”The 37-year-old Granderson is batting .245 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs in 104 games this season. He has 330 homers in 15 major league seasons and has played in 57 postseason games http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-corey-seager-jersey , batting .227 with nine homers.“You’re surprised because you never know what’s going to happen. You hear all kinds of rumblings and things. There’s no reason to get worked up over anything until something happens,” Granderson said after he had a pinch-hit single in Toronto’s 6-5 win over Miami.“But I’m also excited getting a chance to go to a team that has a chance to get to the playoffs. So I am super excited to join them,” he said.Cedeno was 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in 33 appearances for Chicago.“We’re just trying to fortify the roster as best we can and give ourselves options and depth for whatever happens in this month,” Counsell said about the Cedeno deal. TORONTO (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays aren’t blessed with a bunch of big boppers, but they will burn up the basepaths at every opportunity.Willy Adames had two hits and drove in the decisive run, and the Rays beat the Blue Jays 3-1 on Saturday, their seventh win in eight meetings with Toronto this season.“With our lineup, we have to execute the small things a lot more than other teams,” outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said. “We don’t have the big home run hitters or anything like that. We just try to move base to base and, anytime we can Enrique Hernandez Jersey , try to capitalize on any mistakes or errors and make them pay.”Tampa Bay took advantage of a pair of early Toronto miscues to take extra bases that led to runs. Speedy outfielder Mallex Smith led off the first with a chopper over the mound. Shortstop Aledmys Diaz and second baseman Devon Travis both charged, and then backed off as the ball rolled between them. Smith took advantage of two infielders being out of position to advance to second and was credited with a double. He scored one out later on Joey Wendle’s double just inside the right field foul line.“Initially I thought I would beat out the ball and just get the single,” Smith said. “I head the crowd go ‘Ooh,’ so I thought they bobbled it. Then I saw it just kind of helplessly rolling out to center field.”In the second, Kiermaier led off with a single and advanced when center fielder Kevin Pillar bobbled the ball. Kiermaier later stole third and scored on Adames’ RBI grounder.“We’re not a very high-scoring offense, so we have to take advantage of any little mistake, bobble, whatever, to get that extra 90 feet,” manager Kevin Cash said. “We don’t score those runs if they don’t do those things.”Aledmys Diaz homered for the Blue Jays http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-manny-machado-jersey , who have lost five of six and are a season-worst 12 games below .500.“Any time you can limit a team to one run, things are going right,” Cash said.Ryne Stanek opened for the Rays, leaving after four outs. Diego Castillo (3-2) pitched 2 2/3 innings and Jamie Schultz allowed one run in two innings. Hunter Wood pitched the seventh, Pedro Alvorado handled the eighth and Sergio Romo worked a perfect ninth for his 15th save in 22 opportunities.“They were tough today,” Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin said. “They made pitches, made some plays on defense.”Toronto had two runners thrown out on the bases in the seventh. Martin led off with a single but was caught trying to steal second. The inning ended when Pillar was picked off first following a walk.Diaz cut the deficit in half with a leadoff homer off Schultz in the fifth, his 15th. Jesus Sucre hit an RBI single off Ryan Tepera in the ninth to restore the two-run cushion.Sam Gaviglio (2-5) allowed two runs, one earned, and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Gaviglio is winless in 14 starts since a May 25 victory at Philadelphia.BACK2BACKToronto honored the 25th anniversary of its consecutive World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 with a pregame ceremony.
