Rays try to bounce back in rubber game versus Orioles (Jun 25, 2017)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays have been near .500 all season but not when it comes to rubber games as they’ve won seven straight of those.

Tampa Bay has another chance to continue its streak when it hosts the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday at Tropicana Field after splitting the first two games.

Another source of confidence as the Rays seek to continue their positive momentum is starter Jake Odorizzi, who is 4-3 with a 3.78 ERA. Baltimore, meanwhile, starts right-hander Chris Tillman (1-5), who has the highest ERA in the American League at 8.
