Game Preview
The Tampa Bay Rays are set to kick off a crucial nine-game homestand on Friday, starting with a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Orioles, who are tied for the AL East lead with the New York Yankees, will face off against the Rays, who are five games back in the AL wild-card race.
Tampa Bay recently concluded a 3-3 road trip, ending with a 6-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. This homestand will also see the Rays take on the Houston Astros and the Arizona Diamondbacks, making it a pivotal stretch for their playoff hopes.
The series opener will feature Rays right-hander Zack Littell (5-7, 4.06 ERA), who has been in solid form, allowing only one run in his last two starts. Littell has a 3.66 ERA in five career appearances against Baltimore.
Opposing him will be former Ray Zach Eflin (7-7, 4.05 ERA), who has won both of his starts for the Orioles since being traded from Tampa Bay. Eflin, familiar with Tropicana Field from his time with the Rays, was dealt to Baltimore in July.
Baltimore is wrapping up a season-high, 10-game road trip, and has lost four of the first seven games, including a narrow 7-6 defeat to Toronto on Thursday. The Orioles made a late push but fell short, with Anthony Santander’s bid to tie the game ending in a flyout.
