The Rays bats have become quiet lately, losing 11 of their last 14 road games and going 5-16 since June 29th. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Cincinnati has won eight of its last 12 games, showing at 54-50 that it wants to be a buyer instead of a seller with the trade deadline less than a week away. Left-hander Andrew Abbott is 8-1 with a 2.13 ERA with the Reds winning five of his last seven starts. The Rays send out right-hander Ryan Pepiot, who has lost his last three starts, allowing 10 runs over that span. Red's to win.
