Tampa Bay (0-6) at
Minnesota (3-3) -- The Rays are still searching for that elusive first win of the season as they travel to Minnesota to take on a Twins team who leads a slow starting AL Central division at just .500. Bailey Ober takes the mound, which should prove as an opportunity for the Tampa Bay hitters considering Ober's last outing. If Ryan Pepiot can throw a solid game, the Rays have a chance to get into the win column tonight.Projected Lineup RHP Ryan Pepiot (0-0, 5.79 ERA, 4 K) 1.
