Taj Bradley

Another dominant effort from Bradley, who has been as good as any pitcher in baseball since the start of June. The 23-year-old gave up just two hits with one walk and seven strikeouts while throwing 56-of-83 pitches for strikes. That's three straight scoreless outings for the right-hander, and he hasn't allowed an earned run since the third inning of his start against the Rangers on July 6. Incredible.

Bradley ended the first half with a 1.07 ERA across 42 innings over his last seven starts before the break. He started the second half with another dominant outing against the Yankees, tossing seven shutout frames. Bradley fired 62-of-99 pitches for strikes, striking out five batters while scattering one hit and two walks. The 23-year-old right-hander will take a 2.63 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 90/26 K/BB ratio across 75 1/3 innings into a start against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Thursday.

Eflin closed out the first half with strong outings against the Yankees and Nationals with a clunker against the Royals sandwiched in between. It'll be Taj Bradley, Shane Baz and Zack Littell taking the ball for the rest of Tampa Bay's four-game set against the Yankees before Ryan Pepiot draws the starting assignment for Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays.

Schneeman represented the only sign of life for Cleveland as they were shutout by Taj Bradley and the Rays' bullpen. Schneeman has done well to keep himself in the lineup against all right-handed pitchers, but has fallen from the top-half to the bottom-half of the batting order.

This was one of those games that makes people very, very excited about Bradley because he was missing spots left and right, but the Guardians had absolutely no chance against him. He left plenty of fastballs in the middle of the zone that Cleveland couldn't catch up to let too many splitters dance outside to left-handed batters before putting them away with a good one. He's been scorching hot for over a month now with 52 strikeouts and just five earned runs across his last 42 innings pitched.
