Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs is making his ninth start and 17^th appearance. He has a 1.45 ERA and 0.906 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 49 2/3 innings.

Springs’ first two appearances came in relief against the Orioles and he retired all four batters with three strikeouts. He started on May 21 in Baltimore and allowed one hit with four walks and seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 scoreless innings.
