The Tampa Bay Rays came into tonight’s contest as winners of their last eight straight games, including the weekend sweep of the Baltimore Orioles and a victory in last night’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox. In the second game of the four game set, the Rays handed the ball to lefty Ryan Yarbrough, while the Red Sox put their trust in the veteran righty Brad Peacock to get things started, who made his first big league appearance of the season in tonight’s game.
