Alex Torres News

In a story May 19 about the Tampa Bay Rays' 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, The Associated Press, using information from the Orioles' game notes, reported erroneously that 23-year-old Matt Moore is the youngest lefty to start the season 8-0 since Babe Ruth in 1917.

To help cover their bullpen for Sunday's game against the Orioles, the Rays recalled left-hander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham to serve a one-day stint in the Major Leagues, and they optioned left-hander Alex Torres back to Durham.

Matt Moore isn't only breaking records set by Cy Young winner David Price, he's performing at a level that's drawing comparisons to a pretty good southpaw named Babe Ruth.

The Rays gave up 6 runs to the Orioles on Saturday but found a way to win. Rays affiliates averaged 6.4 runs allowed but went just 1-4. Moral of the story: try not to allow 6 runs against you.

Matt Joyce's two-run double was the go-ahead hit in a six-run ninth inning, as Tampa Bay rallied past Baltimore, 10-6, in the middle test of a three-game set from Camden Yards.

Struggling RHP Fernando Rodney doesn't need to make any adjustments to his setup or delivery, or to change his repertoire or sequencing of pitches to get back to being successful, Rays manager Joe Maddon said Friday.

The game had come apart. Three runs had scored after Fernando Rodney had allowed a two-out, bases clearing double to Will Middlebrooks to give the Red Sox a 4-3 lead in the game.

Fernando Rodney was so close to getting out of it unscathed. Rodney had walked three of the first four batters he had faced in the inning, but he was one strike away from escaping the self-inflicted jam and sealing the Rays' victory.

Happy Friday, friends. If all the recent days off have been bringing you down, you're in luck.

Middlebrooks had a three-run double off closer Fernando Rodney with two outs in the ninth inning that lifted the Red Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Thursday night.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed ace David Price on the 15-day disabled list due to a left triceps strain he suffered in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Durham Bulls' Jake Odorizzi hurls against the Gwinnett Braves during the Bulls' season opener Monday, April 8, 2013, at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

The year was 2007 and for the first time, the Devil Rays' rotation had two anchors it could rely on to keep the team in the game every time, Scott Kazmir and James Shields .

At least one team in the Rays organization had a good day. Skip to the Charlotte game for some optimism.

The Tampa Bay Rays have four starting pitching prospects at Triple-A Durham. Jake Odorizzi , Chris Archer , and Alex Colome got the most attention pre-season, but all three have been out-pitched by left-hander Alex Torres.

At this point, it's getting impossible to watch. The Rays' offense has been playing well, getting the Rays out to early leads, but it seems like every time that happens, the Rays bullpen finds a way to give it all back.

It will be at least six weeks before there is another reason to use a Dylan Bundy photo - USA TODAY Sports Good morning prospect watchers.

Especially for prospects in the minor leagues, stats certainly don't mean everything.

Former Ray James Shields said he was looking forward to facing his former teammates on Tuesday night, the Royals pitcher said Friday from Kansas City.
