A strong start to their homestand has helped the Tampa Bay Rays move into a tie atop the AL East. Looking for a fourth straight victory, the Rays hope to fare better than the last time they faced Texas’ Tommy Hunter when they continue their series with the Rangers on Tuesday night. Just off the disabled list, Carlos Pena hit a tiebreaking single to highlight a four-run eighth inning as Tampa Bay beat Cliff Lee and the first-place Rangers 6-4 on Monday. The Rays have won five of seven since a season-high five-game skid, pulling even with New York when the Yankees lost Monday. Tampa Bay, 3-1 on its six-game homestand, has won 11 of 14 at home over Texas, which has an eight-game lead in the West despite losing five of eight.

The Rangers, however, appear to have a good chance to even this series with Hunter on the mound. The right-hander began the season on the disabled list with an oblique strain, then pitched a five-hitter to beat the Rays 6-1 in his 2010 debut June 5. Hunter, 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA in three starts against Tampa Bay, has gone 1-1 with an 8.76 ERA in his last three overall. Flu-like symptoms knocked him out after he allowed four runs on solo homers in three innings of a 10-9, 11-inning win over Boston on Friday. Tampa Bay’s Matt Garza is also looking to establish a career high for victories, but he’s gone 0-2 with a 3.05 ERA in three starts since his no-hitter against Detroit on July 26.
