Gausman went six innings and gave up just five hits and one earned run though he didn’t get the decision. Jeremy Hellickson (3-2, 5.59 ERA) has had a disappointing season. He allowed nine hits in five innings against Cleveland in his last start, though the Rays won the game, 11-3. He’s also struggled against the Orioles, allowing eight runs in his last start on May 17. He also allowed five runs on April 3 at home against Baltimore, though the Rays won 8-7. Baltimore is 19-14 on the road and beat the Rays in two of three on the road in early April.
