Orioles RHP Tomoyuki Sugano ponders his future with the trade deadline approaching
BALTIMORE (AP) — There are plenty of reasons why the Baltimore Orioles would love to hold onto Tomoyuki Sugano for the rest of the season. The Japanese right-hander is loved in the clubhouse, rarely misses a start and, most important, knows how to win on the mound. Those qualities also make Sugano quite appealing to a contender looking to upgrade its starting rotation before Friday's trade deadline. Sugano shackled the Colorado Rockies on four hits over six innings in Baltimore's 5-1 victory Sunday. He matched his season high with eight strikeouts and improved to 8-5. Signed to one-year contract in December, Sugano has clearly been a success in his first season in the big leagues after an impressive career in Japan. The question is, will the 35-year-old rookie stay in Baltimore or be traded by the last-place club? Sugano would prefer to stay put, but he's beginning to understand that anything can happen right up until the final minute of the fast-approaching deadline. 'It's obviously my first time. I don't know what's going to happen,' Sugano said through an interpreter after Sunday's game. After a solid start with the Orioles, Sugano struggled in June and was blown out in successive starts against Tampa Bay (June 27) and Texas (July 2). Then, after adjusting his delivery, he gave up just four hits in six innings against the Mets on July 10 to get back on track. On Sunday against the Rockies, he looked particularly sharp in what might have been his final outing with the Orioles. 'We need him,' interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'When Sugano throws the ball well, he gives us a chance to win. And we need to win games.' So does a team looking to make a run at a pennant or World Series championship. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'If they watched the last three starts, I'd take him,' Mansolino said. 'You watch that Mets start, I'd take him in a heartbeat.' If Sugano goes elsewhere, he will be missed by his new friends in Baltimore. 'He is so well-liked in that room,' Mansolino said. 'The players mess around with him, he messes around with his teammates. He's done it very gracefully.' ___ AP MLB:

Singer takes shutout into 8th, Reds beat Rays 2-1 for 4th straight win
CINCINNATI (AP) — Brady Singer took a shutout into the eighth inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Sunday for their fourth straight victory. Singer (8-8) left after allowing Taylor Walls' one-out homer in the eighth. The right-hander gave up three hits and a walk and struck out eight in his longest outing of the season. Tony Santillan got the final two outs in the eighth. Emilio Pagán pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 25 opportunities. Rays starter Shane Baz (8-7) gave up singles to TJ Friedl and Matt McLain leading off the first. Baz struck out Elly De La Cruz on three pitches, but Friedl scored from second on an infield hit by Austin Hays. McLain and Hays pulled off a double steal before McLain scored on Gavin Lux's groundout for a 2-0 lead. Baz gave up two runs on five hits in five innings — losing his fourth straight start. Tampa Bay has lost four straight and 10 of 13 to fall to 53-53. Key moment Singer gave up a leadoff single to Chandler Simpson before Jose Trevino threw him out trying to steal.
