The Tampa Bay Rays have won four in a row heading into the second contest of their four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night at Angel Stadium.
The Angels (25-19) lost the series opener 7-1 on Thursday night.
"We're not firing on a lot of cylinders, and we're putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
Tampa Bay left-hander Blake Snell (4-3, 3.12 ERA) is scheduled to make the start for the Rays on Friday.
He made six consecutive quality starts in April and May, pitching at least six innings and giving up two runs or fewer, but took a step back Sunday at the Baltimore Orioles.
