The Rays bullpen threw 11 scoreless innings in 2 games at Nationals Park the Rays bullpen leads the AL with 229 IP and 218 relief apps. THE SECRET SAUCE Last night David DeJesus delivered a pinch-hit, RBI triple in the 6th the Rays bench leads the majors with 39 hits, as well as 7 HR (tied with LAD), 28 RBI, a.331 avg. (39-for-118) and.380 OBP the 7 HR off the bench are one shy of the club record (2009) over the past 9 years ( ), the Rays bench never batted higher than.237 (2011) over a full season no AL team has led the majors with hits off the bench over a full season since the 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers (107) the Rays have had 8 multi-hit games off the bench this year no other team has more than 3 such games (Cardinals, Padres), and no other AL team has had 8 multi-hit games off the bench in a whole season since the 2006 White Sox.
