Three days ago, the starters for the game were listed at TBA vs. TBA. Thats not a slight to either Texas starter Lucas Harrell or Kansas Citys Dillon Gee, but thats just the nature of the trade deadline.Harrell (2-2, 3.38 ERA) makes his Texas debut after the Rangers dealt for him as part of a three-player trade with Atlanta on Wednesday. Hell follow three strong starts from Cole Hamels, A.J. Griffin and Martin Perez as the Rangers look to complete the four-game sweep.Sundays start continues a rollercoaster last couple years for Harrell, who pitched in Korea in 2015, opened 2016 with the Detroit organization before catching on with Atlanta. After spending part of the season in Triple A, Harrell was called up and made five solid starts for the Braves.Now, the veteran is hoping to be a boost for a Texas pitching staff that is in desperate need of starting help because of the injuries to Colby Lewis and Derek Holland.Its been pretty intense but its been pretty awesome, Harrell said of the trade. It was fun to be part of this team, and just the game and the atmosphere here, its nice to see how serious they here about winning.While the Rangers acquired Harrell to provide a boost, hes not going to try to do too much. What hes done recently has been enough. Opponents hit just .234 against him in his five starts for Atlanta and he allowed either zero or one run in three of his five starts.Hes going to try and continue that trend Sunday.Im just going to be myself and give my team a chance to win, said Harrell, who has also pitched for the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros. Thats what Ive done wherever Ive been, no matter the situation. Im just out here to do my best and well see what happens.With the Royals slipping out of the American League Central race and the news Saturday that closer Wade Davis will have an MRI on his right forearm, deciding to give Gee another start made sense.Gee (3-4, 4.54 ERA) has bounced between the rotation and bullpen for Kansas City. While his overall numbers are decent, its been rough for him in the rotation as hes 2-4 with a 6.43 ERA in his six starts. He lasted only five innings in his last outing and was tagged for five runs on 10 hits.Still the Royals are confident Gee, who was born in nearby Cleburne, Texas, and played collegiate at UT-Arlington, can do the job to keep their fleeting playoff hopes alive.Theyll turn to him Sunday as they look to stop a streak of seven losses in eight games.Hes been throwing good, manager Ned Yost said. His last couple of times hes done everything weve asked him to do. Thats give us at least five innings and keep us in the game. Hes done that. Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. Frank Mason Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. http://www.cheapsacramentokingsjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-oscar-robertson-jersey . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Bernie Ecclestone has thrown his support behind Ron Dennis amid rumours the McLaren boss might not have his contract renewed at the end of the year.Reports on both Autosport.com and the BBC said Dennis would not be offered a new deal to continue in his role as chairman and chief executive next year when his current contract expires. McLaren has denied Dennis is stepping down and reiterated the fact that he owns 25 percent of the McLaren Group.Ecclestone, who has not always seen eye-to-eye with McLaren chairman, says it would be wrong for McLaren to get rid of Dennis.If I was going to run a team Id like to have Ron with me, Ecclestone told Reuters. I think he does a good job.Anyone that chucks him out is stupid. Hes dedicatted. Kosta Koufos Jersey. I think we ought to try and support him so they dont get rid of him. It would be a shame to see him go. Hes one of the good old timers.Dennis owns an equal shareholding in McLaren as Saudi-born business partner Mansour Ojjeh, with the other 50 percent owned by Bahrains sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat. The Reuters article also quoted Mumtalakat CEO Mahmood al-Kooheji speaking in support of Dennis.Hes a colleague, an inspirational chairman who is behind all the ideas, he said. Whatever he decides, we will support his decision. I hope he continues and I will try to make him stay. ' ' '
