Around the league...
- The Rays very nearly threw a perfect game against the Orioles last night. Ryne Stanek (a 2010 Mariners draftee) and Ryan Yarbrough (a former Mariners farmhand) perfected the Orioles through eight, but it was broken up with a single in the ninth.
- Well that didn’t take long at all.

- The early moves continue.
Starter Homer Bailey has been traded to Oakland from Kansas City, sources tell ESPN. He's making the minimum, so the A's will pay him only $250,000 or so for the remainder of the season.
