The Tampa Bay Rays opened this series with an 11-0 drubbing of the Nationals on Monday, but they're unlikely to have much success at the plate today against Max Scherzer (10-3, 2.09 ERA).

The Washington ace has allowed just a total of six runs through his last three starts and struck out 13 batters while allowing two earned runs in eight innings against the Rays on June 6. For his career against the Rays, Scherzer is 5-2 with a 2.82 ERA.

The Rays turn to Nathan Eovaldi (1-3, 4.91 ERA) who has been tagged with nine runs in his last two starts alone. He has served up eight home runs in 29 1/3 innings on the season, including four his last time out and we can note that Eovaldi is 2-5 with a 5.30 ERA in 10 career starts against the Nats.
