ST PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles will look to right-hander Yovani Gallardo to pick up where Ubaldo Jimenez left off when they face the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday at Tropicana Field.Jimenez led the Orioles to a 7-3 win Monday with the teams first complete game in two years. He retired the last 16 batters he faced.Gallardo (4-7) has struggled this season but showed signs of improvement in his last start against Toronto when he gave up three runs in the first inning but held the Blue Jays scoreless for the next five innings to register a quality start. He has lost his last four decisions and the Orioles have dropped his last five starts.Orioles manager Buck Showalter is hopeful Jimenezs start can energize the rest of the rotation.I think the guys in the rotation are starting to step up and we need them to because these are important games now, Showalter said. Gallardo pitched well his last time out and I think hell pitch well again.Baltimores offense is also starting to find its way again, especially first baseman Chris Davis, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI on Monday. Davis is 6-for-15 with two home runs and five RBI in his past four games as he tries to break out of a long slump.These guys have been picking me up all season and Im hoping that I can keep this going, Davis said. Im starting to feel good at the plate again.Baltimore will have to figure out a way to get to Rays starter Jake Odorizzi (9-5), arguably the best pitcher in the league since mid-July.Odorizzi is 6-0 since the All-Star break and the Rays have won seven out of his past nine starts. He has a 1.89 ERA since the break, which is the lowest in the American League.Im just feeling confident in everything out there right now, Odorizzi told MLB.com. I have a feel of all my pitches. Its nice to go out there and get my work in every six days.The right-handers recent surge started with a win against the Orioles on July 17, when Odorizzi gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings and struck out seven.Tampa Bay may be without third baseman Evan Longoria, who is day-to-day with soreness in his right hand after being hit by a pitch Monday. X-rays on the hand were negative.It never feels good when you get hit in the hand, but we got lucky, Longoria said. X-rays negative is always a great thing. I wouldnt say I 100 percent expect to play (Tuesday). I dont know how its going to feel. I was trying to stay in the game but I felt like I was becoming a liability out there -- especially defensively -- because I didnt feel like I could grip the ball. But if I feel good enough to play I will.Yeezy From China .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team.
