He had scattered five hits over eight scoreless innings to beat the Minnesota Twins in his season debut on April 9. The 34-year-old left-hander should have no problem staying on track tonight, as he owns an impressive 11-3 lifetime mark against the Rays with a 2.60 earned run average in 16 starts.

Minnesota hasn't completed a home sweep of the Halos since turning the trick from June 3-5, 1996. The Twins also swept the Angels later that year in Anaheim. Perkins, meanwhile, has been excellent in his first two starts for the Twins, but has nothing to show for his 1.69 earned run average. After surrendering a |
