RAY MATTER The Rays have lost 5 of their last 6 games, falling to 4-13 (.235) on the season it is the 3rd-lowest winning pct. in the majors, ahead of the Royals (.200) and Reds (.176) the 4-13 record matches the 2001 Devil Rays for the worst record in club history through 17 games the Rays need a win today to avoid the first 4-14 start in franchise history, as the 2001 Devil Rays won their 18th game to improve to Last night was the seventh time this season the Rays yielded at least 7 runs in a game, tied with the Marlins and Orioles for 2ndmost in the majors behind the Rangers (8) the Rays have yielded 92 runs this season, their most through 17 games since 2007 (108). Last night was the 12th time this season the Rays scored 4 runs or fewer, and they are 0-12 in these games only the Rangers (13) and Royals (13) have scored 4 runs or fewer more frequently the Rays have scored 2 runs or fewer in 8 games, tied for most in the AL (Orioles) and tied for 2nd in the majors behind the Giants (9). Only once this season have the Rays won back-to-back games: April 9-10 at CWS, consecutive wins by one run (5-4, 6-5). HOME ALONE The Rays have hit 10 HR this season and nine of them have come with the bases empty (90.0 pct.), highest rate in the majors (Twins, 85.7 pct.) the only one with runner(s) on base was a Matt Duffy 2-run shot on April 5 at BOS for the record, the highest rate in club history came in 2015, when 112 of 167 HR were solo (67.1 pct.) the 10 HR are the fewest in franchise history through the first 17 games (11, 2002) only three teams in the majors have hit fewer: the Tigers (6 HR in 14 games), Royals (9 HR in 15 games) and Marlins (9 HR in 17 games). Only 19.6 pct. of the Rays runs have scored via the home run, compared to 48 pct. last season, which was 3rd-highest in the majors. THREE TRUE OUTCOMES Only 1.6 pct. of the Rays plate appearances this season have resulted in a home run, down from 3.7 pct. last season, when they hit a club-record 228 HR, 6th-most in the majors 37.6 pct. of the Rays plate appearances last season resulted in a walk, strikeout or homer, highest rate in the AL and 2nd in the majors behind the Brewers (38.2) this season, 34.9 pct. of the Rays plate appearances have resulted in a walk, strikeout or homer, 18th in the majors their strikeout rate is down from 25.0 pct. to 23.6 pct. and walk rate is up from 8.9 pct. to 9.8 pct. THE BIG INNING Fourteen times this season the Rays have allowed 3 runs or more in a single frame, most in the majors, ahead of the Royals (13) and Padres (12) eight times they have yielded 4 runs or more in an inning, most in the AL and 2nd in the majors behind the Reds (9) in comparison, the Rays offense has scored 3 runs or more in a single frame only three teams, tied with the Orioles and Reds for fewest in the majors. LEFTY LOOSEY Today s start by Cole Hamels is the third lefty the Rays will face this series, the first time in two years since they faced all lefties in a series of 3 games or more the last time it happened was April 15-17, 2016 vs. CWS, when the Rays won 2 out of 3 games against Chris Sale (loss), John Danks (win) and José Quintana (win) the Rays are 2-5 when facing lefty starters this season, and they went an AL-worst (.396) against left-handed pitching last season. RAYS vs. RANGERS The Rays are all-time against the Rangers (45-41 at home, on the road) and in the Rays era (since 2008) with a win today, the Rays would improve to in their last 14 home series against Texas, dating back to August 2006 and including a 2007 home series at Disney the Rays lost the season series last year, going 2-4 (2-1 in Arlington, 0-3 in St. Petersburg) last July the Rays were swept by the Rangers at Tropicana Field for the first time since July ROCK THE CATWALK Both games this series have featured a home run off the D-ring catwalk: Joey Gallo (430 feet, center field) on Monday and Shin-Soo Choo (446 feet, right-center field) yesterday prior to this series, there wasn t a home run off the D-ring since Steven Souza Jr. on July 26, 2017 vs. BAL, and there wasn t one hit by a visiting player since BOS David Ortiz on Sep 23, 2016 (off Chris Archer) including this series, there have been 30 fair balls to hit off the D-ring catwalk in Tropicana Field history this is the second time there have been multiple homers in a single series off the D-ring catwalk the first time was when NYY Álex Rodríguez homered off the D-ring in consecutive games, Sep 3-4, 2008, off Troy Percival and Jason Hammel, respectively. SEEKING LENGTH Only three times this season has a Rays starter gone 6 IP or more, fewest in the majors there are 19 pitchers in the majors who have gone at least 6 IP in 3 starts on their own the Rays remain the only AL team without a start of at least 7 IP, and one of four teams in the majors (also Braves, Cubs and Brewers) there s been two quality starts (6 IP or more, 3 ER or fewer) made by the Rays this season, fewest in the majors the Angels and Brewers have the next-fewest with 4 QS apiece. Rays starters have gone 4 IP or fewer in 6 games, most in the majors the Rays are 0-6 in their designated bullpen days, but these starters have combined for a 3.46 ERA (26-IP, 10-ER). REDEFINING RELIEF So far this season, Rays relievers have made: 7 apps of at least 50 pitches, most in the majors and passing their total from last season (6) no other team in the majors has made more than 3 apps of this type (Rangers, Marlins, Tigers); 3 apps of at least 70 pitches, one shy of the combined total of the other 29 teams prior to this season, no Rays reliever threw at least 70 pitches since Chris Archer on Sep 13, 2012 at BAL (79); 5 apps of 4 IP or more, most in the majors, and the Marlins (2) are the only other team to do this multiple times last season, only the Mariners (13), Tigers (6), Athletics (5) and Cubs (5) did this as often; 13 apps of 2 IP or more, tied for 3rd in the majors and tied with the Rangers for most in the AL. DOES NOT COMPUTE The Rays are 3-7 (.300) when scoring first, the most losses and lowest winning pct. in the majors when doing so. The Rays have lost 8 games after holding a lead, tied with the Royals for most in the majors three times they have led in the 8th inning or later and gone on to lose (last April 11 at CWS, lost 2-1). The Rays are 0-6 when yielding 3 runs or fewer and 0-4 when yielding 2 runs or fewer, the only winless team in the majors when doing either last season, the Rays were (.768) and 40-6 (.870) when doing so, respectively. CLOSE SHAVES While the Rays have played a major-league-most 9 games decided by 1 run and have a major-league-most 7 losses in 1-run games, their last 4 games have been decided by 4 runs or more: 9-4 loss, 10-4 loss, 8-4 win and 7-2 loss their last 1-run game was Fri vs. PHI (2-1 loss) since 2016, the Rays are (.383) in 1-run games, worst winning pct. in the majors over that span (Twins,.388). WALK THIS WAY In yesterday s game, Daniel Robertson made his first career start out of the leadoff spot and recorded his second multi-bb game of the season he is tied for 5th in the AL with 12 BB, and is tied with SEA Robinson Canó, NYY Aaron Judge and TB Rob Refsnyder for the AL lead with 7 BB vs. LHP min. 25 PA, his.475 OBP ranks 6th in the AL behind MIN Joe Mauer (.531), BOS Mookie Betts (.493), BAL Pedro Álvarez (.485), SEA Robinson Canó (.484) and NYY Aaron Judge (.480). LA PANTERA Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria has not committed an error since last July 30 at NYY, a streak of 66 games and 222 chances without an error it is the longest streak by games and 3rd-longest by chances for a shortstop in club history since last Aug 1, he is the only shortstop in the majors to appear in at least 25 games without committing an error since being acquired by the Rays on June 26, 2017, he has a.988 fielding pct. in 92 games (89 starts) prior to his arrival last season, Rays shortstops ranked 14th of 15 AL teams with a.959 fielding pct. THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY On April 18, 2010, the Rays defeat the Red Sox, 7-1, as Matt Garza improves to 3-0 he becomes the first pitcher since PHI Curt Schilling in 1998 and first AL pitcher since BOS Roger Clemens in 1991 to go at least 8 IP and allow 1 ER or fewer in his first 3 starts of the season the Rays improved to 9-3 overall and 6-0 on the road.
