God I am happy.  Cano looks great.  Has any team taken a series this year from Tampa?

This was the 3rd series they've lost. All year.

How does this guy go from a dumpster fire to this in the span of a single season??

[justD]

This was a HUGE win. 

Could NOT be happier!!!

Let's Go Os!!!!!!!

Cano is good but I think he can use more than 1 day of rest now.

Wow, I will take 3-3 against the Braves and Rays, especially after starting 1-3.

And we actually outscored the braves because of like 2 bad innings

Cano is seriously a straight monster. He’s so damn good.  I don’t even know who to compare him to anymore.

Pulled a hamstring running out a base hit in the 9th inning Tuesday.

Yeah, he was one of our better hitters with RISP this year.

Yes thanks, I was wondering when that happened, how many days ago (have lost track of time lately).  I don't know if just Tuesday is enough to explain how bad we've been of late, but I do miss his bat.

Maybe Dennis Eckersley in his prime with the A's. He's just unbelievable. 18.2 IP, 3 hit and one hits batsman, 21 Ks and 0 BBs? Crazy.

Orioles have won 9/12 series. Rays have won 9/12 series. 

[TopGunnar]

Cano might’ve just became our closer. 3-3 against best 2 teams. Could’ve been 4-2/5-1 too.

Still zero runs. Even more impressive, zero walks! Just incredible combination of movement and command.

Maybe, maybe not. The guy only throw 8 pitches. He seems like he has a runner arm. 

He gets tomorrow off so he should be fine for Friday.

Yep--and we outscored the two best teams in baseball by a total of three runs over those 6 games.

Kudos to Gibson, Grayson and Kremer for giving us the innings we were afraid we cdn't cover esp. after the 12-inning series closing game vs the Braves.

I don't know if I can ever remember a pitcher dominating over this long of a span already. To think this is the same guy as last year is crazy.
