    The Reinforced Rays @ Those Pecking Orioles 9/12-9/14


    The Rays start a 10 game road trip in Baltimore. They need to keep the momentum going if they want to keep their hope for a play off spot alive. They just swept the Red Sox to inch a little closer.

    The Orioles are coming off a series loss to the Jays and have loss 6 of their last 9 games. They have a chance to factor in as spoilers for the Rays and Angels on their current home stand.

    Probables

    Niemann VS Britton
    Price VS Simon
    Davis VS Guthrie


    Tonight’s match up

    Jeff Niemann is 9-7, with a 4.07 ERA. He had a rough outing Tues. against the Rangers, giving up seven runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. This will be his first time facing the O’s this season.

    Zack Britton is 9-9 with a 4.33 ERA. He beat the Rays on the 2nd at the Trop out dueling David Price. He has won 3 of his last 4 starts.

    Worth noting

    Vladimir Guerrero has batted .462 (12-for-26) with four doubles and a home run in his last seven games, getting multiple hits in five of those.

    Johnny Damon needs one stolen base to become the ninth player all-time with 200 homers and 400 stolen bases. ( He would join Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Craig Biggio, Joe Morgan, Paul Molitor, Marquis Grissom and Roberto Alomar.)

    Injury report


    Adam Jones was scratched for the second consecutive day after fouling a pitch off his left ankle during Friday’s 2-0 win. It is unknown if Jones, batting .109 over his last 16 games, will be available Monday.

    Kyle Farnsworth has elbow tenderness which is being blamed for his meltdown in the 9th in Saturdays’ game. HE will be evaluated by the Rays trainer on Tuesday.


    Moore call ups........

    Top pitching prospect Matt Moore will join the Rays in Baltimore, they purchased his contract from Durham just hours after the sweep of Boston last night.. To make room for Moore on the 40-man Mike Ekstrom was DFA’d.



    The theme of this road trip is Letterman sweaters, can't find a pic of the team in them yet, but this is what they look like..........

    There is a pic though of the Rookie Hazing class of 2011....The Reinforced Rays @ Those Pecking Orioles 9/12-9/14-rookie-hazing-jpg


    ****Correction, there are two make up games at NY so it's 11 games.
