The Los Angeles Angels try to capture their second series win in Tampa Bay this season, battling the Rays in the finale of their three-game series. Jered Weaver, who has six wins in six starts and a sub-1.00 ERA (0.99), was scratched from Sunday's start with a stomach virus. In his place, Tyler Chatwood makes the start. Chatwood, making his fifth major league start, is the veteran on the mound today, as Alex Cobb makes his major league debut for Tampa Bay.
