(AP) -- The Minnesota Twins have one of the worst ERAs in baseball, and that dismal mark has plenty to do with the struggles of Mike Pelfrey.

He'll look to snap out of his funk Wednesday night as Minnesota seeks to avoid an eighth straight road loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Twins (9-10) have allowed at least seven runs eight times, including Tuesday's 7-3 loss in the series opener. Their 5.04 team ERA and the starting rotation's 5.76 mark are both worst in the AL and the second-highest in the majors to Arizona.
