Rays wrap up homestand against the White Sox in a matchup of division leaders
Winners of nine of their last 12 games, the Tampa Bay Rays conclude their nine-game homestand on Sunday afternoon as they welcome the Chicago White Sox into Tropicana Field for a matinee finale between possible playoff foes. The White Sox had won three games in a row before Saturday’s shutout loss and now set their sights on a third consecutive road series win as they send southpaw Anthony Kay (7-5, 4.25 ERA) to the mound in search of his second win in his last nine starts. The Rays will counter with veteran right-hander Griffin Jax (6-8, 3.74 ERA) in his first outing since posting a season-high 10 strikeouts in a home win against the Rangers on Tuesday.
