The Rays are one of three teams in baseball with 40 wins, along with St. Louis (45) and Houston (41). The Rays are 28-5 (.848) when they score first, best in the majors, compared to 11-26 when their opponent scores first. The Rays have allowed 2 runs or fewer 36 times in their first 71 games, most by an AL team in the DH era (since 1973) last time an AL team did this was 1972, when the O s (43), A s (37) and Tigers (36) all did it. The Rays lead the AL with a 3.28 ERA and rank 2nd in fielding pct. (.987) behind Detroit the staff has a major-league-low.234 opp avg. and ranks 2nd in the AL with 598 SO, behind Cleveland (633). The Rays next 6 games are within the AL East yesterday the Rays finished a stretch of 20 straight games outside the division, going 14-6. ODD WAY TO END IT Yesterday was only the second 1-0 loss on a sac fly in Rays history (also Sep 7, 2008 at TOR, Rod Barajas in the 2nd inning) it was the seventh loss in club history on a walk-off sac fly, first since July 30, 2012 at OAK (Jemile Weeks in the 15th inning, lost 4-3) it was the first time an AL team won 1-0 on a walk-off sac fly since July 23, 1992 at Cleveland Stadium, on a 14th-inning sac fly by Carlos Baerga who was at Progressive Field yesterday for the 1995 Indians Celebration Weekend. PITCHING AN ENIGMA The Rays allowed only 6 runs in the 5-game road trip, good for a 1.21 ERA (44.2-IP, 6-ER), after allowing 16 runs in the last game of the homestand Tues vs. WAS this was their fewest runs allowed in any 5-game stretch since April 20-24, 2013 (also 6) they achieved this even though the bullpen threw the same number of innings as the starters (22.1) the bullpen yielded 2 ER (0.81 ERA) and the starters allowed 4 ER (1.61 ERA). The Rays allowed exactly 1 run in all 3 games at Cleveland the first time in club history they allowed 1 run or fewer in each game of a series (min. 3 games). The trip s only loss came in a game in which their starter (Alex Colome yesterday) tossed 7 scoreless innings; in the 4 wins their starters totaled just 15.1 IP, an average of less than 4 IP per start. The Rays won matchups of Steve Geltz vs. WAS Jordan Zimmermann as well as Erasmo Ramirez vs. CLE Corey Kluber on the trip despite getting only 2 IP and 3 IP from the starters, respectively they won those games 5-0 and 4-1. ALEX COLOME Yesterday retired his first 16 batters faced (5.1 perfect), before yielding an infield single to Michael Bourn with one out in the 6th according to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the 2nd-longest perfect game bid in Rays history, behind Matt Garza (April 30, 2009 vs. BOS), whose perfect game bid was also spoiled on an infield single, by Jacoby Ellsbury leading off the 7th inning (6.0 perfect) it was the longest by any major league rookie since TEX Yu Darvish on Sep 3, 2012 at KC (5.2 perfect). RAYS vs. BLUE JAYS The Rays are 6-1 vs. Toronto this season (3-0 at home, 3-1 on road) and have won 4 straight the last meeting was April 24-26, when the Rays outscored them 21-6 and completed their first sweep of Toronto at home since Sep 21-23, 2012 the Rays 161 wins are their most against any opponent their 161-141 (.533) record is their 2nd best vs. an AL opponent (16-10 vs. HOU) the Rays were 8-11 last year, ending a streak of six straight winning seasons vs. the Jays, during which time they were 72-37.
