Tigers aim for third series win of August in matinee finale against the Rays

Despite losing eight of their last 12 games, the Tampa Bay Rays head into Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Detroit Tigers with a 3.5-game lead in the American League East Division race, as they look to salvage their first series win in the last two weeks. The Tigers ended their six-game losing skid with a 4-1 home win last night and aim to remain in the Wild Card race with their first series win at home since taking two of three from the Royals in mid-July. The Rays will send veteran right-hander Freddy Peralta (5-11, 5.33 ERA) to the mound in search of his first win with Tampa Bay since being acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline, while Detroit will counter with second-year righty Troy Melton (7-2, 1.60 ERA) who has held opposing lineups to two earned runs or less in 10 of his last 11 outings.

After a breakout season a year ago, Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is having another outstanding campaign, ranking in the top eight in Major League Baseball in both home runs and RBIs, and is on pace for his second consecutive 100-RBI season. Caminero, a two-time All-Star, had made it to the semi-finals of the Home Run Derby each of the last two seasons, both times losing to the eventual champion, had a stellar run earlier this season where he hit 11 of his team-leading 35 home runs in an 11-day span.
