ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Left-hander Shane McClanahan will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series for the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, manager Kevin Cash said.
Cash on Tuesday also said rookie Shane Baz will take the mound for Game 2 on Friday night. Depending on bullpen use in the opening two games, Cash said Drew Rasmussen is the "highly likely" Game 3 starter.
Tampa Bay will face the winner of tonight's wild-card game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
