Rays to start reliever Sergio Romo vs. Angels for 2nd straight game

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash's unconventional decision to use a back-of-the-bullpen reliever to start the team's game worked so well on Saturday that he plans to do it again Sunday.

According to Cash, righty Sergio Romo, who started Saturday's win over the Los Angeles Angels, will start again Sunday.

Romo struck out the side on 18 pitches in his only inning of work Saturday before giving the ball to rookie left-hander Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough (4-2) earned the win after allowing one run over 6 1/3 innings in the Rays' 5-3 victory.
