ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A week ago, the Tampa Bay Rays were building momentum as a surprise postseason contender.
Now the Rays are on a five-game losing streak and just two games over .500.
The Rays (51-49) will try to regain their momentum and snap their longest losing streak of the season when they continue a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
After opening the series with a 5-0 loss on Monday, Tampa Bay will turn to rookie Jake Faria. The right-hander is off to a solid start to his major league career with a 4-1 record and 2.
