ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Two teams with nearly identical records and similar losing streaks meet as the Los Angeles Angels and Tampa Bay Rays play four games at Tropicana Field, with both teams desperately trying to regain positive momentum before the All-Star break.The team, we played our tail off. We battled, Rays starter Chris Archer said Sunday after another late-game meltdown turned into a 5-1 loss to the Tigers to complete a four-game sweep. Its a tough one to lose because we really battled up until the end.The Rays (33-48) have lost 16 of 18 games as they officially enter the second half of the season, and their bullpen has given up runs in 17 of those games. On Sunday, the Rays had a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning, only to see reliever Xavier Cedeno allow two inherited runners to score, with more runs coming in the ninth.Los Angeles (33-49) is coming off a 10-5 loss to Boston, and aside from a ridiculous 21-2 win on Saturday that included 22 hits and an 11-run seventh inning, nothing has been clicking for the Angels, who have dropped 11 of their last 13 games.The Angels will try to shake things up a bit Monday, with 25-year-old right-hander Nick Tropeano called up from Triple-A to start against the Rays. Tropeano is 3-2 with a 3.25 ERA in previous stints this season, and struck out 10 Rays batters in a 3-1 loss in May, giving up seven hits in his outing.Tropeanos callup means Jhoulys Chacin has been demoted to the bullpen after continued ineffectiveness.Im fine with it, Chacin told the teams official site Sunday. I know the last few games I havent done my job. Honestly, I dont feel bad that they sent me to the bullpen. I actually feel good that they have confidence in me to keep me on the team.The Rays counter with left-hander Matt Moore, whose last start was a rare bright spot for Tampa Bay in recent weeks. Moore threw seven innings of shutout baseball in a 4-0 win against the Red Sox on Wednesday. He is 4-5 with a 4.67 ERA, though both of the Angels big bats, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, each has a home run in eight at-bats against him.Rays manager Kevin Cash was optimistic his team could build off a strong start by Archer on Sunday -- zero runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts. He doesnt have many bullpen arms he trusts, so he will need Moore to last as long as possible before he has to turn to any relievers.Cant help but feel really good about what Chris Archer did today, Cash said. He kicked it in gear and kind of showed the Archer we know hes very capable of being. That was an outstanding effort by Arch. Dick Allen Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Vince Velasquez Jersey .

Arter did not appear for the second half of the match and had to withdraw from the Republic of Ireland squad for the friendlies against Switzerland and Slovakia.He had only just come back into the Bournemouth fold for the match at Spurs after missing victories over Newcastle and Swanssea with a similar problem.ddddddddddddHowever, Cherries striker Josh King is expected to be fit for Saturdays match.The 24-year-old Norway international pulled out of his countrys squad after suffering a calf strain, but has recovered well and should be available for selection.
