Mike Leake vs. Sergio Romo/Austin Pruitt, 7:10pm
Ah, the Rays. The team dealing with some formidable budget issues is always an interesting club to follow, and tonight’s a perfect example: they’ll start Sergio Romo for a few batters, and then he’ll give way to Austin Pruitt. This has been the approach the Rays have taken in recent weeks, with Romo or another reliever starting, and then handing the ball to the presumptive starter for 5-6 IP. Ryan Yarbrough has pitched the 3rd-most innings on the team, just behind actual, old-school starting pitchers Blake Snell and Chris Archer, and he’s ahead of Jake Faria despite starting only 3 games to Faria’s 10.
