| | | MILWAUKEE: MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two pitches into his spring training return, the Brewers' most important player tried to prove his point.
Home run, Ryan Braun.
Now let's see how he fares when the games count.
Bolstered by the return of Braun from a 65-game doping suspension and the signing of free-agent starter Matt Garza, Milwaukee enters the 2014 season hoping it has the pieces to contend again in the competitive NL Central.
Braun has vowed to return to his 2011 MVP form.
''I think the expectation is to have an opportunity to compete to get back to the playoffs. That's our goal, I think it's realistic,'' Braun said during spring training in Phoenix.
Staying healthy would help, too. Besides Braun's suspension, injuries sapped much of the Brewers' power last year with projected 3-4-5 hitters Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart each missing various lengths of time. Hart never played because of a knee injury.
Hart is gone, but Braun and Ramirez are back and bolstered by new team cornerstones who emerged last season in Carlos Gomez, Jean Segura and Jonathan Lucroy.
| | TAMPA BAY: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays feel they have everything it takes to win the World Series and aren't afraid to say it.
The budget-minded franchise that's played into October four out of the past six seasons boosted payroll instead of cutting back this winter in hopes of making another strong run for the playoffs.
''The goal is to be the team that plays the last game of the year and win,'' third baseman Evan Longoria said.
''I felt like we were really close to breaking through last year,'' the three-time AL All-Star added. ''And with the team that we have this year, I'm really excited to go out and try to prove to ourselves that we are good enough to do that.''
The Rays won 92 games a year ago, including a Game 163 tie-breaker to claim a wild-card spot, and have compiled the second-best record in baseball over the past six seasons.
That's not enough for manager Joe Maddon and a hungry collection of players who reported to spring training feeling as if there's unfinished business to tend to after losing to eventual World Series champion Boston in the AL division round.
''I love that our guys feel and think that way. I think it's great,'' Maddon said.
''You'll hear that rhetoric in a lot of clubhouses, whether it's baseball, football or basketball, but you've got to back it up. You have to really believe it. Not just say it,'' he said. ''Some groups say it because they're supposed to say it. Some groups say it because they believe it. Our guys believe it.''
That confidence was bolstered by the Rays' ability to keep most of the key components from last year's roster together, including lefty David Price, who anchors one of baseball's deepest pitching rotations.
Price and just about everybody else expected the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner to be traded, however the Rays wound up giving him a $14 million one-year deal, in addition to re-signing first baseman James Loney and landing free agent closer Grant Balfour in moves that represent a big chunk of a club-record payroll of around $80 million.
Andrew Friedman, the team's vice president of baseball operations, also traded for catcher Ryan Hanigan and infielder Logan Forsythe to give Maddon additional flexibility filling out a batting order around Longoria and 2013 AL rookie of the year Wil Myers.
''Talent can't win every game for you, but it's a good start,'' said Loney, who signed a three-year, $21 million deal - largest since Tampa Bay has given to a free agent since Stuart Sternberg became principal owner.
''If we can stay healthy, if we can do the things we're capable of doing,'' second baseman Ben Zobrist add, ''we certainly have as good or better chance than any other team in the league to win it all.''

*Brewers-Rays Preview* ======================
Milwaukee (59-46) at Tampa Bay (51-53), 7:10 p.m. EDT
After beating the team he grew up rooting for, Jake Odorizzi now gets to finally face the club that drafted him.
The former Milwaukee Brewers first-round pick seeks his first three-start win streak Monday night at home for the Tampa Bay Rays in the opener of a three-game set.
Odorizzi (6-8, 3.97 ERA), who grew up about 33 miles from St. Louis in Highland, Ill., pitched on the road against the Cardinals for the first time Tuesday and allowed two runs over 5 2-3 innings to earn a 7-2 win.
The right-hander said he had about 500 supporters in the crowd and he received a huge ovation when he left the game.
"It was pretty loud when I came out," he said. "There were a lot of people standing up. I figured I had to tip my hat to them."
The emotion seems to be different this time for Odorizzi, who was drafted in 2008 but never pitched for the Brewers. Milwaukee (59-47) traded him to Kansas City before the 2011 season as part of the deal to obtain Zack Greinke.
"I've kind of run out of stuff to say about that type of topic," Odorizzi told MLB's official website. "Treat it like another game, that's about all I can say, is go out and just try to continue what I've been doing and not change anything."
Odorizzi ranks fourth in baseball with a 10.46 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has a 2.96 ERA in his last 14 outings after posting a 6.83 mark through his first six.
Tampa Bay (51-54) had the second-longest win streak in franchise history snapped at nine Sunday with a 3-2 home loss to Boston. Rays pitchers posted a 1.33 ERA and the club outscored opponents 48-15 during the streak.
"Listen, like I said, this has been a great run we've been on," manager Joe Maddon said. "Now we've got to start another one-game winning streak tomorrow and try to win another series. We've got two really good teams coming in in Milwaukee and the Angels."
The NL Central-leading Brewers fell 2-0 on Sunday to the New York Mets to cap a 5-2 homestand. They'll face a few starters they've never seen - Odorizzi and Alex Cobb - in this set along with David Price before this six-game trip ends at second-place St. Louis.
"Well we know we got great pitchers we're facing the next three days and it doesn't get any easier in St. Louis so we've got to find a way to scratch out runs and our pitching really has to be good on the road," manager Ron Roenicke said.
Second baseman Scooter Gennett could return to the lineup. Gennett, batting .304, missed four games due to tightness in his right quad before pinch-hitting Sunday.
Aramis Ramirez also did not start Sunday and could be the designated hitter Monday.
Brewers starter Kyle Lohse (11-4, 3.07) seeks to win his third straight outing after allowing one run in each of his last two, including Wednesday's 5-1 victory over Cincinnati in which he pitched 6 2-3 innings.
The right-hander hasn't faced Tampa Bay since 2011. James Loney has the most experience against him, going 5 for 18.
The Rays are 4-2 all-time against the Brewers.
