RAYS PITCHERS NOTCH ANOTHER RARE FEAT With Matt Moore s 10 strikeouts Sunday vs. the White Sox, the Rays joined the 2015 Indians as the only teams since Baseball Reference data is available (1913) to have four different pitchers with double-digit strikeout performances within their team s first 12 games Moore joined Chris Archer (12, Opening Day vs. TOR), Jake Odorizzi (10, April 5 vs. TOR) and Drew Smyly (11, April 13 vs. CLE) the 2015 Indians did it with Trevor Bauer, Danny Salazar, Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco the pitching staff has yielded only 42 runs, 2nd fewest in club history after 12 games (31 in 2014) their 113 SO are most in club history after 12 games (prev. 97 in 2015), while their 24 BB are their fewest after 12 games. RADICAL RATIOS The good news: Rays pitchers lead the majors with a 4.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio RH Alex Colome s 9th-inning walk on Sunday issued to CWS PH Melky Cabrera snapped the staff s streak of 26 SO in between walks the Rays are the only major league team with 100 or more strikeouts and fewer than 25 walks conversely, Rays hitters have the worst strikeout-to-walk ratio in the majors at 4.12 between , Rays hitters walked a major-league-high 3,366 times, but their 25 BB this season rank last. ABOUT THE OFFENSE The Rays have scored 34 runs, their fewest ever after through 12 games, eclipsing the 35 runs they scored in 2013 they have been held to 3 runs or fewer in 9 of 12 games the Rays are ranked 28th in the majors in runs per game (2.83) and batting avg. (.212) 12 of the Rays 34 runs and 5 of their 13 HR have come in the 8th inning. TAKING THEIR CUTS According to FanGraphs, Rays hitters have swung at 51.0 pct. of all pitches thrown, highest rate in the majors, followed by the White Sox (49.6) for comparison s sake, the Red Sox have swung at 44 pct., 28th in the majors the Rays freest swingers thus far have been Evan Longoria (59.5) and Corey Dickerson (57.5). COLOME THE FIRST RH Alex Colome earned the first save of the season for the Rays on Sunday and the first of his career he is the 9th different Ray to get a save since the start of 2015, matching the Rockies for the most in the majors Sunday was the Rays first save opportunity and only the 2nd time the Rays have led at the 7th-inning stretch. BRANDON GUYER Has reached base 4 times via hit, walk or HBP in each of the past 2 games he is one of three major leaguers to do it in 2016, joining BAL Manny Machado and ARI Paul Goldschmidt it s been done 24 times in Rays history, but only player has done it in 3 consecutive games: Carlos Peña in 2008 Guyer has reached base in his last 6 plate appearances and 8 of 9 the past 2 games (5-for-6, 2-BB, 1-HBP). LEANING LEFT LH Enny Romero has retired all 13 batters he has faced in 4 apps this season only two Rays relievers have started the season with more conscutive appearances without allowing a base runner: LH Scott Aldred (8 games) in 1999 and RH Fernando Rodney (5) in 2012 LH Xavier Cedeño has retired 13 of his 14 BF this season the Rays have a third lefty in the bullpen in Dana Eveland (3.1-IP, 1-ER) together, the trio has compiled a 0.75 ERA (12-IP, 5-H, 1-R/ER, 1-BB, 9-SO). UNDER-30 STREAK ROLLS ON Tonight will be the 249th consecutive game the Rays have started a pitcher under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors Arizona s streak of 237 ended in their season opener, when 31-year-old Zack Greinke started vs. Colorado the Rays streak doesn t figure to end any time soon, as the Rays don t have a starter over the age of 27 Erik Bedard on July 3, 2014 was the last 30-plus pitcher to start a game for the Rays since May 25, 2007, the Rays have started a pitcher under 30 in 1,345 of their last 1,425 games (94 pct.), including a streak of 764 consecutive games between % ACQUIRED BY TRADE Fifteen of 25 players (60 pct.) on the Rays active roster were acquired in trades the full list: RH Chris Archer, C Curt Casali, LH Xavier Cedeño, C Hank Conger, OF Corey Dickerson, RH Danny Farquhar, INF Logan Forsythe, RH Steve Geltz, OF Brandon Guyer, SS Brad Miller, 1B/OF Logan Morrison, RH Jake Odorizzi, RH Erasmo Ramirez, LH Drew Smyly, OF Steven Souza Jr. THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY April 19, 2010 the Rays complete their first 4-game sweep of the Red Sox in club history, outscoring Boston 24-9 at Fenway Park the Rays had never swept a series of 3 games or more vs. the Red Sox.

Pitched on 8 days rest was scheduled to start on April 9 at BAL and had already warmed up in the bullpen when the game was postponed due to inclement weather. AGAINST A.L. EAST FOES Owns a career 9-2 record and 1.97 ERA (128-IP, 78-H, 28-ER) in 28 games (17 starts) vs. TOR, NYY, BOS and BAL only losses were April 4 vs. TOR and May 5, 2015 at BOS, when he carried a no-hitter into the 6th before allowing a leadoff homer that inning to Mookie Betts in the eventual 2-0 loss the Rays are 9-4 in his 13 starts vs. the AL East since he joined the team. SINCE THE TRADE Has started only 21 games since being acquired from Detroit on July 31, 2014 as part of the David Price trade however, during that span his 2.74 ERA (128-IP, 39-ER) ranks 2nd in the AL (min. 15 starts) his college roommate at the University of Arkansas, HOU Dallas Keuchel, ranks 1st (2.53) and David Price (2.85) ranks 3rd also ranks 1st in the AL (min. 15 starts) with a.199 opp avg., including a.176 (18-for-102) mark vs. left-handed hitters.

Has received a total of 3 runs of support in his two losses has gone at least 6.2 IP in both starts, the only Ray to do that twice despite missing his turn due to the April 9 postponement at BAL. WATCH YOUR BACK Is tied for the AL lead with 11 pickoffs since 2014 had 4 pickoffs last year, tied for 4th most in the AL despite only 12 starts led the AL with 7 in 2014 in a combined 28 apps, 21 starts. OVERVIEW Named the Rays No. 2 starter by Manager Kevin Cash on March 29 marks his fifth major league season, though this was the first time he was in an Opening Day starting rotation was on the DL (left shoulder tendinitis) to begin the year in 2015 in 2014 and 2012, Detroit s schedule didn t require a fifth starter so he began the year in the bullpen (2014) and Triple-A (2012) spent all of 2013 in the bullpen IN REVIEW Limited to 12 starts as he spent a total of 105 games on the DL with a left shoulder injury he was 5-2, and the Rays were 8-4 made a club-high 7 rehab starts between three levels after returning from his second DL stint on Aug 16 at TEX, he made 9 starts and went 5-1 with a 3.24 ERA (50-IP, 18-ER) lost his first start after returning (Aug 16 at TEX, 5-3), then finished the season 5-0 over his last 8 starts (2.54 ERA). SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER Became the second Ray to go 4-0 (or better) in September, joining David Price (2010 and 2012) his 2.50 ERA in September ranked 5th among ML starters (min. 6 starts) his 45 SO tied Scott Kazmir s club record (2007) and tied BOS Rick Porcello for most in the AL on Sep 1 vs. BAL, tossed 7 shutout innings (4-H, 1-BB, 10-SO) in his longest outing of the season. MUCH IN COMMON Has modeled parts of his pitching style after LH Cliff Lee, another Arkansas native and former Razorback with an assortment of pitches the two have the same agent (Darek Braunecker) and have worked out together in past offseasons. I think he s capable of being as good as [Astros Cy Young winner and Smyly s college roommate Dallas] Keuchel last year, honestly. I think he s got that much deception, he s that competitive and he s that good a pitcher. I really do.
