Thank God for Ramon Urias. That ball was scorched to third with the bases loaded, nice pick and throw.  

And Webb for cleaning up the Cano mess.

Suarez goes 6 gives up zip - he's my first choice. Cowser bomb and even more exciting, Mateo tags up on first and goes to second on a fly ball to right then scores the ultimate winning run on Gunnar's single. How many times have you seen a runner on first advance on a fly to right? Cowser and Mateo honorable mentions. Kimbrel - at what he's making - nice and about time for a one run save.

Suarez.

Six solid shutout innings against the reigning world champs?  Works for me.

6/28, 2-1 win vs TEX. I missed the first part of the game. From what I saw, gameball goes to Kimbrel for a clean inning for a one run save. Suarez appears deserving as well.

Suarez with 6 shutout over Kimbrel getting 1 with the bottom of the order.  This is an easy one.

OK, consensus appears to be for Suarez.

Suarez pitched a nice game tonight . Perhaps hearing all that talk about him to bullpen must have lit him up 

[Three Run Homer]

Kjerstad gets the gold, Povich the silver, Santander the bronze tonight.

I've got Kjerstad as well. I would give Gunnar one of the honorable mentions for that hustle double. 

[dystopia]

Easily Kjerstad

[Three Run Homer]

GrayRod wins the gold, by a mile.  Santander with the silver for driving in the first run.  Cano gets the bronze--best I've seen him throw in a while.

Grayson almost cost himself with the bad throw but that isn't enough to wipe out an otherwise dominant performance. I agree, easy gameball for Grayson.

Cano did look good against the M's. But at least for me it's important to remember who the opponent was.

Right, Kirby was pitching to the best offense in the league. Rodriguez was pitching one of the worst. You still have to get the outs and he did, but the opponent does matter. I've made my feelings known about Cano.

He was brought in for the bottom of the order too, although it was high leverage. Nicely played by Hyde, imho.

Really hard to decide on a Gameball for last night. Kremer had a fantastic start against one of the best pitchers, O'Hearn carried the offense with the RBI single and HR. I also really want to recognize Adley's take on a very tough 3-2 pitch that led to the two out rally. Tough one but Gameball goes to Kremer.
