The Rays have had some tough games of late. They lost 2 of 3 in Detroit and came into this game having lost 2 of 3 to Miami. None of these games were blow outs, none involved tipping your cap for a lights out opposing pitching performance. The Rays could have won any of these games, and always seemed to be on the wrong side of the lucky bounce, just short of the clutch hit or the game-saving catch.
Rays look to turn it around against a tough opponent
Anyone familiar with Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez couldn't be optimistic that today would be the day to turn this bad mojo around.
