Chen, Orioles meet Devil Rays
Baltimore (73-88) at Tampa Bay (67-94), 2:15 pm EDT
ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) --
Bruce Chen
and the
Baltimore Orioles
hope to end their disappointing season on a strong note when they meet the
Tampa Bay Devil Rays
on Sunday in the season finale.
Since starting the season 30-16, the Orioles have been one of baseball's worst teams. Baltimore has dropped 13 of its last 17, but
Sal Fasano
and
Melvin Mora
both belted solo homers Saturday to lift the Orioles to a 4-3 win over the
Devil Rays
on Saturday.
Chen (12-10, 3.86 ERA) has struggled over his last two starts, allowing 12 runs in just 9 1/3 frames against the Yankees. The lefthander is 2-1 in four starts against the
Devil Rays
this year.
Tampa Bay counters with rookie
Tim Corcoran
(0-0, 6.38), who makes his first career start. The righthander has worked 18 1/3 frames this year in nine relief appearances.
