Bottom 7 - Rays at Reds

J.P. Howell, the Rays other lefty reliever and former starter, takes the mound for the bottom of the seventh.
Howell, another former Longhorn, has never clicked as a major league starter, but the Rays think he can be a competent major league reliever. We shall see. At least they will keep him there for a while. I don't think they will be shuttling him between the starting rotation and bullpen if someone gets injured. They Rays have too many other options in the rotation.
Howell looked sharp with a perfect seventh, striking out the final two batters he faced.
