I actually think Aceves got the win, but Betances was once again dominant over 2 innings. Whitley started again and was cruising till the 5th when he tired and ended up being charged with his second and third runs. Claiborne came in and settled it down. That's two draft picks. Then Tornton came in to relieve him, free agent. Betances came on and hit 100 a few times over his two IP (he was again getting squeezed according to PitchFX). That's three picks. Then Aceves came in for his two innings. Then they scored three more runs thanks to timely hitting and two sf's. Then DRob came in and saved it. Another draft pick. DRob gave up an unearned run because of Jeter, also a draft pick. Big win, but the BP is going to be cooked and they probably need to swap out a pitcher here.

You forgot draft pick Gardner saved the game with his catch.
That's true, but I talked enough about him earlier. Whitley should keep helping, though he'll be hard on the pen for a little while longer.
If Hal truly wants to run a lean and mean franchise, he should throw big bucks at every Cards and Rays talent evaluator and administrator and replace his own baseball people who have failed him.
