The Angels (23-36) have dropped 20 of their first 31 road games and are trapped in the AL West Division basement. On Saturday, OF Mike Trout homered and scored three runs to spark Los Angeles to a 14-3 road triumph.

Twenty-five year old righty Jack Kochanowicz (2-3 4.99 ERA) will head to the hill for the Rays in this contest. Last time out, Kochanowicz (4 IP) was tagged for six hits and five runs during a 10-6 road victory against Detroit.

Rays Preview

The Tampa Bay Rays have split their previous ten games and are clinging to a one-game lead over New York for the top spot in the AL East Division. During yesterday’s home loss, Tampa Bay batters went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base. DH Yandy Diaz smacked his 11th home run and scored twice for the Rays (35-20), who fell to a major league best 20-6 at home.

Twenty-nine year old southpaw Shane McClanahan (5-2 2.52 ERA) is regaining the form that made him a two-time All-Star for the Rays. Through 50 innings of work, McClanahan has retired 50 batters by strikes and owns a sparkling 1.04 WHIP.
