EDGE Analysis

Vargas's resurgent season hummed along Tuesday as the 34-year-old was in control of Giants hitters from the first inning onward as he led the Royals to their third consecutive victory. His rock solid performance dropped his season ERA to a dazzling 2.10 on the year. The left-handed hurler has positioned himself as one of the most intriguing potential trade chips as we head towards the July 31 trade deadline. Vargas will look to stay hot during his date with the Angels on Sunday.
