| (MySportsbook) - The Tampa Bay Rays hope to put the brakes on a two-game losing streak this evening when they continue their nine-game road trip with the first of three games against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. After winning a franchise-record 97 games last season on their way to an AL East title, as well as an AL Pennant, the Rays have stumbled out of the gates, going 7-12, while occupying the last spot in their division. That trend continued on Sunday, as the Rays dropped the rubber match of the |

| (MySportsbook) - Kevin Slowey hopes to build upon his best start of the season this evening when the Minnesota Twins continue their three-game series with the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. Slowey was unbeaten (1-0) through his first two starts but had allowed 10 runs and 22 hits in 11 1/3 innings. He was sharp, though, in beating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last Saturday, as Slowey surrendered a pair of runs and six hits in seven innings to lower his earned run average to 5.89 on the season. |
