Faria tqakes the mound for the rays with a 3-0 record and a 1.37 ERA in his rookie season. He has allowed just 1 run in all 3 starts and pitched at least 6.1 innings in each game and has increased his pitch count each game. He has to face a very good hitting oriole team and his pitch count might see him fatigued for this game against another good pitcher. Baltimore has won 13 of the last 19 meetings with the Rays.
