ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays have scored one run total in their last two games, and they will try to get out of that slump against a pitcher in the middle of quite a tear.
Atlanta's Julio Teheran will start against the Rays on Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up a two-game series. The two teams will meet again for two more in Atlanta in August. Teheran's overall numbers this season (2-1, 3.65 ERA) aren't overwhelming, but they don't tell the full story.
Teheran, 27, gave up nine earned runs in his first two starts of the season, in a combined eight innings.
