Carmona looks to bounce back vs. Devil Rays

Jul 2, 2007 - 1:03 PM Tampa Bay (33-47) at Cleveland (49-32) 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) - Fausto Carmona has been a pleasant surprise this season for the Cleveland Indians. Andy Sonnastine is hoping to be a big part of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' future.

The two young hurlers faceoff Monday when the Indians go for a sweep of their four-game series against the Devil Rays at Jacobs Field.

Carmona (8-4, 3.92 ERA) is coming off his worst start on the season, allowing eight runs and seven hits in one-plus innings last Wednesday against Oakland. Prior to that start, the 23-year-old sinkerballer had surrendered three earned runs or less in 12 of 14 starts this season.

Sonnanstine (1-2, 5.85) is working through some growing pains as he attempts to establish himself as a part of Tampa Bay's future. The 24-year-old rookie pitched well in his last outing, yielding two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings but did not factor in the decision last Wednesday against the White Sox.

A noted control artist, Sonnastine has issued just three walks in 32 1/3 major league innings.

Cleveland has won the first three games of the series by a total of four runs.
