"I never like to move a player unless you really believe the player belongs at the next level. Otherwise I would much prefer a half a year. But it was very, very clear to all of our evaluators that those pitchers were in the wrong league. They needed to get to Double A."

Since blowing a save April 17 at New York, closer Jon Rauch -- filling in for the injured Chad Cordero -- has saved all five of his opportunities, going 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA. Opposing hitters are batting just .188 against him in that span. "It's the same objective: Get people out," said Rauch, normally a setup man. . . .
RF Austin Kearns is 6 for his last 14 over four games, raising his average to .212.
