The Tampa Bay Rays begin a seven-game road trip out to the west coast Monday night with the first of four games against the Los Angeles Angels. Tyler Glasnow (3-1, 1.67 ERA) will make the start for Tampa Bay, but Angels scheduled starter Shohei Ohtani has been scratched after being hit by a pitch while hitting Sunday, and left-hander Jose Quintana (0-2, 10.13 ERA) will instead take the mound. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38.
