Play: Tampa Bay Rays
Rating: 8*
The Tampa Bay Rays and the Minnesota Twins have split a pair of games here at the Trop on Friday and Saturday, and they've both won seven of their past 10 overall. I like the Rays to claim the rubber match Sunday afternoon with Matt Andriese on the hill.
Andriese (6-2, 2.72) held the Royals to one run on three hits in four innings when he returned to the rotation on Tuesday. He owns a 5-1 mark with a 2.87 ERA as a starter and picked up the win in his last meeting with Minnesota on June 4. The Rays are 8-1 in Andriese's last nine starts vs. a team with a losing record.
The Twins turn to Kyle Gibson (3-6, 4.94 ERA) who is 0-4 with a bloated 8.85 ERA while permitting 20 runs on 31 hits in previous meetings with Tampa Bay. Evan Longoria has a .400 career batting average against him and Brad Miller is at .455. Gibson has compiled a 6.06 ERA in six road starts this season and the Twins are 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing record.
