Cody Anderson takes the hill for his second major league start. He's got a tough task ahead of him, trying to top the 7 and 2/3 shutout innings he pitched in his debut.

Not just because the Rays are tied for 1st in the AL East, but because the stadium itself is the physical manifestation of severe depression.
