AP Sports Preview TORONTO (Interstat) — The Tampa Bay Rays look to build on a narrow victory when they face the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m. EDT. Tampa Bay (56-42) sends right-hander Drew Rasmussen (7-5) to the mound. Rasmussen has been a reliable arm in the Rays’ rotation this season. Toronto (46-53) counters with right-hander Kevin Gausman (4-8), who has struggled to find consistency. The Rays won the series opener 3-1 on Monday, extending their recent dominance in the season series. Tampa Bay has won five of the seven meetings between the teams this year, including three of four at Rogers Centre in May. Rasmussen will look to continue that trend. He has not faced Toronto this season but owns a solid record for a Rays team that sits atop the American League East. Gausman will try to reverse his fortunes. The veteran has lost three of his last four decisions and will need to contain a Rays lineup that has scored 14 runs over its last two games. Players to Watch Rays reliever Chris Roycroft has been effective in his recent outings. In his last appearance Sunday at Boston, he threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit. Over his last five appearances, Roycroft has a 2.70 ERA with nine strikeouts in 10 innings. Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage is coming off a strong start Sunday against the Chicago White Sox. He allowed three runs on five hits over six innings, striking out nine. In his last two starts, Yesavage has a 3.38 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 12 innings.
