The last series before the Midsummer-night's classic break for MLB, the Tampa Bay Rays host the Cleveland Indians at Tropicana Field.  They're flying high after sweeping the Boston Red Sox.  The Rays, however, remain two games behind the AL East leading New York Yankees, who close their first-half schedule with a series against the Seattle Mariners.

The Indians come into the Trop, having lost their last two at the hands of the Texas Rangers.  They are currently in last place in the AL Central.
