He has spent his entire nine-year career with the San Francisco

4.13 ERA.

While the Sunday's brawl between Toronto and Texas was the main
topic of conversation on Monday, the Blue Jays were bolstering their
bench by acquiring infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes on waivers
from the Baltimore Orioles.
 Paredes had yet to appear in a game for the Orioles this season. A
sprained wrist landed him on the disabled list and the Orioles had
hoped to sneak him through waivers before sending him to a rehab
assignment in Triple-A.

The Pittsburgh Pirates put outfielder Starling Marte on the

Detroit center fielder Cameron Maybin made his season debut after
