Yesterday s 9-4 loss marked the third time the Rays yielded 9 runs or more, tied with the Reds for the most in the majors the 13 hits allowed were their most since Sep 24, 2017 at BAL (13) the 6 runs allowed in the 2nd inning matched a season high for a frame. NO BROOMS ALLOWED The Rays need a win to avoid being swept for the third time this season (0-2 from April 3-4 at NYY and 0-3 from April 5-8 at BOS) the Rays haven t been swept in a series of 3 games or more at home since July 21-23, 2017 vs. TEX (0-3) they haven t been swept in an interleague series (home or away) since June 17-19, 2016 vs. SF (0-3).

Chris Archer s start of 4 IP last night was the sixth time this season a Rays starter went 4 IP or fewer, most in the majors he yielded 6 runs on 6 hits in the 2nd inning the 6 runs were a career high for a single frame and the most by a Ray in an inning since Jake Odorizzi on Sep 6, 2016 vs. BAL (6-run 4th).
