Matt Andriese has delivered a pair of sublime performances since being called up, including a two-hitter in his latest start, but he doesn't consider himself a lock in the Tampa Bay Rays rotation.
Andriese looks to further his cause Friday night while denying the Detroit Tigers a season high-tying fifth consecutive win. His teammates, meanwhile, will attempt to give him plenty of support after slugging their way to a three-game sweep to open their road trip.
Andriese is 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA since being called up from the minors May 8 and earned a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels that same day.
