The veteran right-hander, who turned 31 years old on Friday, earned his first win of the season against the Rays back in April despite giving up a pair of home runs in a 4-3 victory.
Jalen Beeks (1-1, 2.70 ERA) will get the start for the Rays who will be making his fifth start of the season and fourth in his last five appearances. Beeks has not pitched more than two innings in any game this season in the Rays “opening pitcher” plan.
