Saturday, April 7, 2018 First Pitch: 1:05 p.m. Location: Fenway Park TV: FOX Sports Sun Radio: WDAE 620 AM, WLCC 760 AMGame No.: 8 (1-6) Away Game No.: 4 (0-3) All-Time Game No.: 3,246 (1501-1744) All-Time Road Game No.: 1,621 (678-942)

RAY MATTER—The Rays have not won since Opening Day vs. BOS and their 6-game losing streak is their longest since Sep 23-28, 2016 vs. BOS, at CWS (6) and the longest in the majors this season…the Rays are the first team to win on Opening Day and lose their next 6 games since the 2013 Astros (won 8-2 on Opening Day, then lost 6 straight)…their 1-6 record matches their worst start through 7 games in club history (2011, 2001).

Ê This is the second consecutive year the Rays have lost their first 3 road games of the season…last season, they were swept by the Yankees in a 3-game series at the Bronx before their first road win on April 14 at BOS, a 10-5 victory over Rick Porcello…this is the fifth time overall the Rays have lost at least their first 3 road games of the season: also 2017 (3), 2005 (4), 2002 (3) and 2001 (5).

Ê Today the Rays are attempting to avoid their first 7-game losing streak since July 5-16, 2016 vs. LAA, at BOS, vs. BAL (8)…they are also attempting to avoid becoming the 14th team since Baseball Reference data is available (1908) to win on Opening Day and lose their next 7 games…the last team to do this was the 2005 Rockies (won on Opening Day, lost 8 straight), and the last AL team was the 2001 Devil Rays (won on Opening Day, lost 7 straight).

DAY IN, DAY OUT—Due to anticipated cold weather, Monday’s game at the White Sox has been moved from 8:10 p.m. ET to 2:10 p.m. ET…with the change, all eight games on this current road trip will be day games…this will mark the first time in club history that every game of a multi-city road trip is played during the day…three times previously, every game on a Rays road trip was a day game, but all of these instances were 1 game:

Ê Aug 26, 2013 at KC (makeup game in the middle of a 6-game home-stand after a May 2 rain/snowout, described as a “wintry mix”)

Ê April 14, 2004 at NYY (only game played on a 2-game trip after an originally scheduled night game on April 13 was rained out and rescheduled as a traditional doubleheader on Labor Day, Sep 6)

Ê Sep 23, 2004 at NYY (makeup game in the middle of a 9-game homestand after the Rays arrived, due to Hurricane Frances, three hours after the scheduled start of a Sep 6 doubleheader)

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK—Including the final game of the first homestand, the Rays will play nine consecutive day games from April 1-11…accord-ing to Rays PR research, this will be the longest streak of consecutive day games in franchise history…the previous club record was eight straight from April 8-16, 2012 vs. NYY, at DET, at BOS…in fact, aside from these instances, the longest such streak is four straight: Aug 6-10, 2014 at OAK/CHC, April 10-15, 2013 at TEX/BOS and April 4-7, 2002 vs. DET, at NYY.

FENWAY FRUSTRATION—On Thurs at BOS, the Rays lost in walk-off fashion for the first time since Aug 26, 2017 at STL (Tommy Pham home run), their last of five walk-off defeats last season…it was the 12th walk-off loss to the Red Sox in club history, first since May 30, 2014 (A.J. Pier-zynski triple)…it was their first loss when leading after 8 innings since Sep 15, 2017 vs. BOS (led 5-2 after 8, lost 13-6 in 15 innings)…last season, the Rays were 71-4 (.946) when leading after 8 innings…it was also the first time in franchise history the Rays lost in walk-off fashion in an op-posing team’s home opener.

EARLY TEST—Today is the fourth game of an 8-game, 10-day trip to New York (0-2), Boston (0-1) and Chicago…this is the third straight year the Rays have had an April trip to New York and Boston…they went 1-6 last season from April 10-17 (0-3 at New York, 1-3 at Boston) and 3-3 in 2016 (2-1 at Boston, 1-2 at New York)…this series continues a stretch of 9 games to start the season against the Red Sox (7) and Yankees (2), the AL East’s two postseason teams in 2017…from April 9–June 13, only four of the club’s 19 series are against teams that finished last season at .500 or better.

RAYS vs. RED SOX—This is the sixth of 19 meetings between the Rays and Red Sox this season (10 in St. Petersburg, 9 in Boston)…the two clubs will meet 10 times before the end of April, but do not face each other in June, July or September…the Rays are 1-4 so far, and all four defeats have been by 1-run margins…22 of the last 33 games between the teams have been decided by 2 runs or fewer, with the Rays going 8-14 in those 22 games…the Rays went 8-11 against the Red Sox last season (4-5 at home,

4-6 on the road)…after going 7-12 in 2016, they have lost consecutive sea-son series to the Red Sox for the first time since 2006-07.

COLD SNAP—According to weather.com, the remaining highs forecasted for this road trip are 47° and 44° in Boston and 40°, 43° and 55° in Chi-cago…first-pitch temperature was 40° on Tues at NYY and Thurs at BOS, the coldest first pitch for a Rays game since April 26, 2014 at CWS (39°)…the Rays are 24-35 all-time in games with a first pitch at 50°F or colder and 6-5 at 40°F or colder.

ABOUT THE OFFENSE—The Rays offense has totaled 17 runs, tied for the fewest in club history through 7 games (2011)…the offense has been held scoreless in 56 of their 65 trips to the plate this season (86.2 pct.)…the Rays have only led at the conclusion of 6 innings this season, while they have trailed at the end of 38 innings and been tied at the end of 22 innings…they have held a multi-run lead at the conclusion of 3 innings.

Ê 10 of the Rays 17 runs this season have come in the 8th inning (58.8 pct.) and 7 of those 10 runs have come with BOS Carson Smith on the mound (2 runs plus 3 IRS on Opening Day, 2 runs on Thursday).

Ê The 3 HR and .266 SLG are the worst marks in club history through 7 games, and the 7 2B are tied for the fewest…the 43 hits, .188 avg., .263 OBP and .529 OPS are all the 2nd-worst through 7 games.

Ê Through the first 7 games of the season, opposing starting pitchers have a 1.04 ERA (43.1-IP, 5-ER) against the Rays…the Rays haven’t scored more than 2 runs against an opposing starter…this includes 6 games of 1 run or fewer and 3 games without a run.

CLOSE SHAVES—The Rays are the only team in the majors with four 1-run losses…in fact, they are the first team in the majors with four 1-run losses within their first 7 games of the season since the 2008 Braves (4), and the first AL team since the 1996 White Sox (5)…since 2016, the Rays are 34-55 (.382) in 1-run games, 2nd-worst winning pct. in the majors to Minnesota (30-49, .380)…the Rays are 0-4 when yielding 3 runs or fewer this season…last season, they went 53-16 (.768) when doing so.

Ê Since Baseball Reference data is available (1908), the Rays are one of 10 teams and three AL teams with 4 losses within the team’s first 7 games of the season when yielding 3 runs or fewer…the others: 2015 Marlins, 2013 Pirates, 1972 Cardinals, 1963 Washington Sena-tors (AL), 1949 Senators (AL), 1944 Boston Braves, 1937 Boston Bees, 1913 Brooklyn Superbas and 1909 New York Giants.

HEEERE’s YONNY—Yonny Chirinos has totaled 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 SO, 110 pitches and 76 strikes (69 pct.) in 2 apps (1 start)—both against the Red Sox—to begin his major league career, including 5 IP without allowing a run in his first career start on Thurs at BOS…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, he was the first pitcher to make the first start of his career at Fen-way Park and not allow a run in at least 5 IP since ATL Kyle Davies did it in his major league debut on May 21, 2005 (5-IP, 4-H, 0-R, 3-BB, 6-SO).

HOMER & DUFFMAN—Matt Duffy gave the Rays a 2-0 lead with a 2-run, 8th-inning home run on Thurs at BOS…it was his first homer since Aug 28, 2016 at HOU after missing all of last season recovering from Achilles surgery…it was the fourth go-ahead hit in the 8th inning or later of his career (last May 7, 2016 vs. COL, walk-off double in the 13th inning) and first go-ahead homer in the 8th inning or later…it was the ninth time in franchise history the Rays hit a go-ahead homer in the 8th inning or later at Fenway Park, first since Evan Longoria on Aug 30, 2016…it was the sixth time the Rays ever homered that late in a game to break a score-less tie and the second time at Fenway Park, following Kevin Kiermaier on April 19, 2016, in the 10th inning of an eventual 3-0 victory.

LAST START—On Sun vs. BOS, went 4 IP, matching the 2nd-shortest start of his ca-reer…also failed to record at least one out in the 5th inning on Sep 28, 2017 at NYY (3 IP) and July 30, 2017 at NYY (4 IP)…his last batter faced was a game-tying RBI single by J.D. Martinez in the 5th inning…allowed at least one baserunner in every inning, and a baserunner to reach scoring position in every inning except the 3rd…his pitch count by inning was 22-22-6-19, plus 14 pitches without recording an out in the 5th…marked the second time in his career he had more walks than strikeouts (also July 6, 2017 vs. BOS)…his line: ND, 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 2 SO, 1 HBP, 83 pit, 53 str.

Ê Originally was tabbed on March 15 by Manager Kevin Cash to start the fifth game of the season, but moved up following the injury to Nathan Eovaldi.

Ê Has yielded more than 3 runs only twice in 15 career starts.

WINLESS STREAK—Is seeking his first win since July 25, 2017 vs. BAL…has gone 0-3 with a 4.59 ERA (33.1-IP, 17-ER) in his 8 apps (6 starts) since his last win, after going 5-1 with a 2.67 ERA (57.1-IP, 17-ER) in 9 starts to begin his career…this is his second major league season after making his major league debut last June 7 vs. CWS.

vs. BOSTON—Is 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA (13-IP, 2-ER) in 3 apps (2 starts) against the Red Sox, all at home…in addition to his first start this season, he started against Boston in his sixth career game and his only run allowed in 6 IP was a sac fly by Deven Mar-rero…after returning from the disabled list, his first app was out of the bullpen on Sep 16 vs. BOS, and he did not allow a baserunner in 3 IP…it was the first perfect app of at least 3 IP by a Rays rookie since Travis Harper on June 27, 2002 vs. TOR (3 IP).

SPRING THINGS—Went 1-2 with a 5.12 ERA (19.1-IP, 11-ER) in 6 starts during Grape-fruit League action, in addition to pitching in an intrasquad game on March 6…did not record a strikeout in his first 3 starts spanning 4.1 IP and 29 BF…pitched in the Rays spring finale on March 27 vs. DET at Tropicana Field, and threw 6 innings of no-hit ball in a no-decision…that start brought his spring ERA down from 7.43 to 5.12.

2017 HIGHLIGHTS—Last season he was named the club’s Outstanding Rookie by the Tampa Bay Chapter of the BBWAA…min. 75 IP, he led AL rookies with a 3.43 ERA, .225 opp avg., .387 opp SLG, 8.72 SO/9 IP and 1.18 WHIP…ranked 4th among AL rook-ies with 84 SO, and ranked 2nd to NYY Jordan Montgomery (91) after his June 7 recall.

Ê Achieved all this despite spending 25 games on the disabled list from Aug 17–Sep 14.

REDEFINING QUALITY—He was the first pitcher to begin his career with 7 consecutive quality starts since NYY Masahiro Tanaka (16) in 2014, and one of only nine pitchers since 1913 to begin his career in this fashion…he became the fifth pitcher since 1913 to go 6 IP or more, allow 1 run or fewer and earn the win in his first 3 apps, joining STL Andy Rincon (1980), CIN Wayne Simpson (1970), STL Stu Miller (1952) and DET Alex Main (1914)…he also became the second pitcher since 1913 with at least 35 SO and 5 BB or fewer in his first 5 starts, with no relief apps in between, joining SEA Félix Hernández in 2005…was the second Ray to win his first 4 decisions, all as a starter, joining James Shields in 2006.

LUCKY DUCK—While playing scout ball in 2010, he was turned away by an overbooked hotel…to apologize, the hotel provided a gift bag with treats and a rubber duck…the duck found its way to his equipment bag, where it was forgotten…after a strong first season as a professional, he was frustrated by a poor 2012 campaign…the next spring began poorly as well, until Jake realized a new equipment bag had separated him from the duck…when his father shipped Jake’s car, he placed the duck inside…an outstanding 2013 campaign followed and the duck has traveled with him to the ballpark ever since.
