ST PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles will look to right-hander Yovani Gallardo to pick up where Ubaldo Jimenez left off when they face the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday at Tropicana Field.Jimenez led the Orioles to a 7-3 win Monday with the teams first complete game in two years. He retired the last 16 batters he faced.Gallardo (4-7) has struggled this season but showed signs of improvement in his last start against Toronto when he gave up three runs in the first inning but held the Blue Jays scoreless for the next five innings to register a quality start. He has lost his last four decisions and the Orioles have dropped his last five starts.Orioles manager Buck Showalter is hopeful Jimenezs start can energize the rest of the rotation.I think the guys in the rotation are starting to step up and we need them to because these are important games now, Showalter said. Gallardo pitched well his last time out and I think hell pitch well again.Baltimores offense is also starting to find its way again, especially first baseman Chris Davis, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI on Monday. Davis is 6-for-15 with two home runs and five RBI in his past four games as he tries to break out of a long slump.These guys have been picking me up all season and Im hoping that I can keep this going, Davis said. Im starting to feel good at the plate again.Baltimore will have to figure out a way to get to Rays starter Jake Odorizzi (9-5), arguably the best pitcher in the league since mid-July.Odorizzi is 6-0 since the All-Star break and the Rays have won seven out of his past nine starts. He has a 1.89 ERA since the break, which is the lowest in the American League.Im just feeling confident in everything out there right now, Odorizzi told MLB.com. I have a feel of all my pitches. Its nice to go out there and get my work in every six days.The right-handers recent surge started with a win against the Orioles on July 17, when Odorizzi gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings and struck out seven.Tampa Bay may be without third baseman Evan Longoria, who is day-to-day with soreness in his right hand after being hit by a pitch Monday. X-rays on the hand were negative.It never feels good when you get hit in the hand, but we got lucky, Longoria said. X-rays negative is always a great thing. I wouldnt say I 100 percent expect to play (Tuesday). I dont know how its going to feel. I was trying to stay in the game but I felt like I was becoming a liability out there -- especially defensively -- because I didnt feel like I could grip the ball. But if I feel good enough to play I will. Sony Michel Youth Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. Drew Bledsoe Jersey .

The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. Melbourne Victory have produced their finest performance of the young A-League season, cutting 10-man Wellington Phoenix down to size in a 6-1 thrashing at Etihad Stadium.Besart Berisha finished with a hat-trick and Marco Rojas earned a double as Dylan Foxs dismissal after the break opened the floodgates for the home side.Berisha twice delivered his punishment from the penalty spot after sloppy Wellington defending, while Rojas surged onto loose balls to finish past Glen Moss.The pair combined for an 82nd minute effort that secured Berishas hat-trick, and Mitch Austin cemented Wellingtons embarrassment in injury time in front of 20,113 at Etihad Stadium.The all-action affair delivered on Victory coach Kevin Muscats promise of an attacking feast, with plenty of bumps on the way.With Rojas, Kosta Barbarouses, Gui Finkler and Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick all turning out against their former employers, there was plenty of feeling on display.Full-backs Daniel Georgievski and Jason Geria powered Victory, the former involved in the two first-half penalties.On 20 minutes, the Macedonian international flew into the box and was clumsily brought down by Roly Bonevacia as he collected Oliver Bozanics nifty pass.Two minutes later Georgievski turned provider for Berisha.Dylan Foxs attempt to muscle out the Albanian went awry, with his leg sticking inside Berishas stride like a rod in between the spokes of a bicycle wheel.On both occasions, Victorys striker strode confidently to the penalty spot, shooting to Moss right.Three points looked assured when Fox was served his ssecond yellow card on 59 minutes for halting Berishas run on goal.ddddddddddddBut the Phoenix were awarded a penalty of their own when Alan Baro brought down Roy Krishna who duly converted.Their threat lasted just nine minutes, when Rojas timed his run into the box perfectly to gather Berishas ball and lash home.The winger was gifted his second, with Jacob Tratts poor clearance allowing him to sidefoot into an unguarded net on 77 minutes.After Berisha scored his 85th A-League goal - bringing him within five of Archie Thompsons all-time record - Austin took his turn to get on the scoresheet after more good work from Rojas.The result deepens Wellingtons season of woe, with Merricks men stranded on the foot of the A-League table after four games without a point.Victory jumped to third place, wiping out their negative goal differential suffered in round twos Melbourne derby on the way.Coach Kevin Muscat, who recorded his best win as a coach, said he was disappointed when the Phoenix battled back into the contest but happy with the final result.It could have been a few more ... well take some confidence from that, he said.Muscat said Georgievski would be taken for scans after going off clutching his shoulder.Merrick, who lost key defender Marco Rossi before the first whistle with a thigh injury, said he couldnt take anything from the performance.We tried to play good football right to the end but we made a series of errors, he said.
