Arizona D-backs: New Addition to the Team

The Arizona Diamondbacks have recently acquired pitcher Matt Gorgen from the Tampa Bay Rays, completing a trade consisting of pitching reliever Chad Qualls being sent to the Rays as well. Matt Gorgen, a 23 year old right-handed pitcher, has a 1.65 ERA (for all you non-baseball fans, ERA means Averae Earned Runs, and 1.65 is an incredibly good average), and an upcoming star pitcher for all of the MLB to watch out for. Currently tied for first in the Southern League, he has 22 saves with 47 strikeouts and 21 walks in all of 42 appearances. The D-backs plan to do very well with their newly gained pitcher, and hope to finish of the season with plenty more wins.
