Devil Rays update

Tampa Bay is 10-4 since May 20, and the Devil Rays took three of four from the Minnesota Twins this week to win their first road series since August. The Orioles split six games with the Devil Rays in April, winning two of three at Camden Yards. The Devil Rays have allowed a major league-high 76 stolen bases and are on pace to match the major league record of 241, set by the 1996 Detroit Tigers. That should bode well for the Orioles, who lead the majors with 51 stolen bases. Patience will help tonight. Zambrano leads the majors with 49 walks and 10 hit batsmen. The Devil Rays released Paul Abbott and replaced him with Brazelton, who was 4-4 with a 4.71 ERA at Triple-A Durham.
