Tampa Bay Rays' Jeff Niemann giving up two runs in 21 1-3 innings to go 2-0 in his last three starts overall. Niemann allowed two hits and struck out 10 over eight innings of a 1-0, 16-inning loss to Boston on Sunday - the longest game in Rays’ history. He has allowed two runs and nine hits over 24 1-3 innings while going 2-0 in three career starts versus Kansas City. He will try to help the Rays bounce back after they lost for the seventh time in 10 contests, scoring more than four runs twice during that stretch. The reigning AL East champs are third in the division, 8 1/2 games behind first-place Boston.
Kansas City Royals' Jeff Francis is 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA in six starts since beating the Los Angeles Angels on June 10, and matched his run total from his previous two outings when he yielded four in 7 1-3 innings of a 4-3 loss at Minnesota last Saturday. Kansas City Royals' Melky Cabrera, who has been dealing with a stomach ailment, is batting .414 with 14 RBIs his last 17 games. He’s hitting .368 with nine RBIs his last 11 games versus Tampa Bay, which hopes scheduled starter Jeff Niemann can shut down the Royals like he has in the past.
