Tampa Bay Rays' Desmond Jennings, who had provided a spark for the offense since being called up over the weekend, went hitless for the first time this season Tuesday. He was 6 for 11 with four extra-base hits to help the Rays total 14 runs in his first three games. Tampa Bay Rays has fallen 10 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the AL East - its largest deficit in the division since 2009 - and 8 1/2 back of the Yankees in the wild card chase. Rays' James Shields record hardly indicates how well he’s pitched. He snapped a four-start losing streak Thursday, giving up one run in 7 2-3 innings of a 2-1 victory over CC Sabathia and the Yankees.
Oakland Athletics has lost 12 of the right-hander’s last 14 starts. He has a 5.06 ERA over that stretch. Oakland Athletics' Trevor Cahill entered his last start with a 3.16 ERA, but he recorded just six outs against the Yankees on Friday, allowing 10 runs and nine hits in a 17-7 loss. He faced five batters in the third inning without retiring any of them. Athletics' will hand the ball to Trevor Cahill, who is trying to bounce back from his worst outing of the year. Oakland Athletics have been hitting well since the All-Star break, but they could have a difficult time keeping that going against Tampa Bay’s James Shields.
