Cesar Ramos (0-1) showed a little rust making his first start since Mid-2012 on April 13th, but buckled down nicely in his 2nd trip out of the bullpen. He hopes the third time is the charm as the Rays take on John Danks (2-0) and the White Sox. Ramos was moved to the starting rotation as the Rays' arms have been depleted by injury, namely Matt Moore and Alex Cobb. Ramos got rocked in outing 1, giving up 4 runs over just 2 innings. Joe Maddon was going to have to pull some strings with his staff if Ramos faltered again but he went 5 innings giving up just 1 run to the Yankees last time out.

Ramos has appeared in strictly relief situations against the White Sox in his career, pitching 6 times total against Chicago. He's given up 6 runs in 7 innings and the current White Sox lineup has gone 6 for 16 versus the lefty.

Danks has pitched solid in each of his four outings and if not for one shaky inning in each start he might have better numbers to show for the season. Danks has given up only 1 run in each of his last two starts (12.1 IP) and 8 total in 25.1 innings for a 2.84 ERA.

Danks made just one start against Tampa Bay a year ago, giving up just 3 runs in 7 innings but still falling prey to a loss. He has 10 starts in his career against the Rays with a 5-4, 3.90 split. The Rays have batted a competent .286 versus Danks but have struck out in 19 of 98 AB's.
