The Rays (34-16) have won seven of their last ten games and hold a 4.5 game lead for the top spot in the AL East Division. On Sunday, Tampa Bay batters went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base during a 2-0 road loss against New York.

Twenty-nine year old southpaw (5-2 2.82 ERA) has regained the form that made him a two-time All-Star for the Rays. Through 44 plus innings, McClanahan has retired 47 batters by strikes and owns a sparkling 1.05 WHIP.

Orioles Preview

The Baltimore Orioles have struggled on the road through the first two months of the season and are 12 games out of first place. In the first game of a Sunday doubleheader, Colton Cowser delivered a walk-off three-run blast to give Baltimore a 5-3 home victory versus Detroit. All-Star SS Gunnar Henderson added his 11th home run of the year for the Orioles (23-29), who improved to 14-12 at home.

Baltimore manager Craig Albernaz will give the nod to twenty-nine year old righty Kyle Bradish (2-6 4.13 ERA) in the series opener. Last time out, Bradish (5.1 IP) gave up two runs and fanned six batters during a 4-1 road loss against Tampa Bay.
