Left-hander Ross Detwiler will get his wish to start again from the Texas Rangers after he spent last season in Washingtons bullpen.Texas completed a deal Friday to acquire Detwiler from the Nationals for two minor league prospects, infielder Chris Bostick and right-hander Abel De Los Santos.I dont really look at it as them giving me up. I look at it as the Rangers really wanting me, and they were willing to give up some of their prospects for me, Detwiler said. I think its going to be a better fit for me. ... I didnt really see myself in a relieving role. I think I am a starter. Im just ecstatic to get another chance to start somewhere.Detwiler was in the bullpen all last season, working mostly in long relief and going 2-3 with a 4.00 ERA in 63 innings over 47 appearances. The former first-round draft pick was left off the Nationals post-season roster for the NL division series against the San Francisco Giants.When youve got a player thats motivated and maybe has some internal drive, internal motivation to go out there and perform, its usually a good thing, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.Detwiler has started 69 of his 132 major league games, all for the Nationals after they drafted him sixth overall in 2007. His career record is 20-32 with a 3.82 ERA.Not involved in the market for upper-tier free agents, Texas went into the off-season looking to add another experienced starter in its rotation with Yu Darvish, Derek Holland and Colby Lewis. The fifth spot will likely be left open for competition in spring training among several young pitchers in the organization, including some who have already made a number of starts in the majors for Texas.While Daniels likes the internal options for the fifth spot, he said there will always be more conversations about adding starting depth.I do feel this does take the edge off a little bit in that we feel like Ross can come in and give us some innings as a starter, he said.Detwiler, who is arbitration eligible and can become a free agent after next season, has been working out this off-season as he did in previous years. He doesnt expect any physical limitations with the increased innings needed to be a starter again.His best season was 2012 when he went 10-8 with a 3.40 ERA in 33 games (27 starts). He started Game 4 of the NL division series, which Washington needed to win to avoid elimination, and allowed an unearned run over six innings against St. Louis.The lefty was limited to 13 starts in 2013, when he went on the 15-day disabled list for a right back muscle strain and later ended the season on the 60-day DL because of a lower back strain.Daniels said there are no concerns about those back issues. The team reviewed medical records before completing the deal that got done during this weeks winter meetings in San Diego.Bostick was at High-A Myrtle Beach last season, where he hit .251 with 11 home runs and 62 RBIs in 130 games. De Los Santos pitched for Myrtle Beach and Class-A Hickory, going 5-3 with a 1.92 ERA and eight saves in 41 relief appearances combined for those two teams. wholesale jerseys .

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Nick Markakis hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, powering the Orioles to a 7-0 victory over the Rays in a battle between streaking American League East teams. Markakis surge backed Jake Arrieta (8-3), who threw seven shutout innings. He allowed only two hits, walked three and struck out four to get the win, the Orioles fourth in a row and sixth in their last eight games. J.J. Hardy added a solo shot for Baltimore, which recorded the decisive victory against a Tampa Bay club that was coming off a sweep of the Angels in Anaheim. Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson (7-4) carried a 2.64 earned run average into Fridays contest, and had won six of his last seven starts. But he allowed a season-high five runs and two homers in 5 2/3 innings. [Hellickson] wasnt sharp, but he got through it, Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Overall, I like the way he fought through the whole night. After rain delayed the start of the game for an hour, the Orioles got on the board in the first inning, when Hardy led off with a homer. Hellickson threw a fastball belt-high and slightly in, and Hardy slugged it over the left fieldd fence.dddddddddddd It was his sixth home run of the season and fourth in his last eight games. Baltimore took control in the next inning thanks to another blast. Hellickson walked Luke Scott to begin the frame before Mark Reynolds doubled. He retired the next two batters, but walked Hardy to load the bases. Markakis then stepped up, and the battle was brief. Hellickson hung a first- pitch curveball over the plate, and Markakis ripped it over the wall in right field. It was the third grand slam of Markakis career and gave the Orioles a 5-0 lead. Koji Uehara threw a scoreless eighth before Markakis hit a two-run double in the home half. Im feeling better, Markakis said. Im just going to keep plugging away. Mike Gonzalez loaded the bases in the ninth, but fanned pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez to preserve the shutout. GAME NOTES:The Orioles are 6-4 against the Rays this season, but just 1-3 at home...Markakis hit his fifth homer of the season and first since May 15...Arrieta picked up a career-high eighth win. The last Orioles pitcher to record his eighth win as early as June 10 was Sidney Ponson on June 7, 2003. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china ' ' '
