SUNDAY, MAY 14, 2017 at BOSTON RED SOX RH Matt Andriese (2-1, 3.12) vs. LH Drew Pomeranz (3-2, 5.23) TREAT YOUR MOTHER RIGHT—The Rays are 9-10 all-time on Mother’s Day…they have won their last 3 road games on Mother’s Day (2016 at LAA, 2012 at BAL, 2011 at BAL)…this weekend the Rays, Red Sox and all major league clubs are wearing newly designed uniforms, with Mother’s Day-spe- cific jerseys and caps made by Majestic and New Era, respectively…MLB will again donate its licensed uniform royalties that are connected to Mother’s Day…many players will use pink bats and don pink wristbands and socks. Ê RH Matt Andriese today has a chance to become the first pitcher in Rays history to earn 2 wins on Mother’s Day…last year at Angel Stadium, he earned a 3-1 win with his mother Lynn watching him for the first time in the big leagues…he totaled 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R/ER, allow- ing only a sac fly to Albert Pujols in the 1st inning. Ê Two years ago, Manager Kevin Cash was ejected from a 2-1 loss to the Rangers at home with his mother Patsy in the stands. Ê The Rays were on the wrong end of Dallas Braden’s perfect game on Mother’s Day 2010 in Oakland. ROSTER MOVE—The Rays have optioned LH Blake Snell to Triple-A Dur- ham and recalled RH Ryne Stanek from Durham…Stanek, 25, will be the fifth Ray to make his ML debut this season, following RH Austin Pruitt, INF Daniel Robertson, RH Chih-Wei Hu and LH José Alvarado…his last 11 apps for Durham spanning 14.2 IP were scoreless…named after Hall of Fame 2B Ryne Sandberg despite being born into a family of Cardinals fans, he becomes just the third “Ryne” in major league history, following Sandberg and All-Star RH Ryne Duren…he will wear No. 59. RAY MATTER—Today the Rays seek their first rubber match win since the opening series vs. NYY (April 5), having lost their three rubber matches since then (vs. HOU, at BAL, at TOR)…the Rays took two leads against LH Chris Sale yesterday, 1-0 and 3-2, thanks to home runs by 1B Logan Morrison and CF Kevin Kiermaier, but LH Blake Snell was unable to hold either lead and the Rays lost 6-3…it was their major-league-leading 15th come-from-be- hind loss…the Rays have held a lead in 25 of their last 27 games but are only 12-15 in those 27 games…it snapped a 3-game road winning streak…Rays were held to only 3 hits, the only other one a pinch-hit single by Corey Dick- erson…Rays returned to 3 games under .500, equaling their season most. Ê The Rays are 10-15 against AL East opponents, and 8-6 against teams outside the division. Ê The Rays are 4-9 when facing left-handed starters, and 14-12 vs. RHP. Ê In innings 1-through-5, the Rays are outscoring opponents 114-72… after that, they’ve been oustcored 93-55…in the 1st inning, they have outscored opponents 31-13 and lead the AL in runs scored. Ê Thursday (May 18) is their only off-day in the month of May…that will snap stretches of 20 games in 20 days (7-9 thus far), and 35 games in 36 days (13-18). Ê Forty-two of the Rays first 46 games (through May 21) are against teams that finished the 2016 season with a .500 record or better…the only exceptions were 4 games vs. Miami (May 1-4). RAIN DANCE—With heavy rain in the forecast today, it’s worth noting that there have been 40 games postponed or cancelled due to weather in Rays history, nine of those at Fenway Park…the only enemy port where the Rays have had more games called due to weather is New York (12)…the Rays last postponement at Fenway was April 30, 2014, made up the next day as part of a day-night doubleheader. LEFTY LOOSEY—Yesterday 1B Logan Morrison (solo in 2nd) and CF Kevin Kiermaier (2-run in 5th) became the first and second left-handed hitters to homer off LH Chris Sale this season…it was only the third time Sale yielded 2 HR to left-handed hitters in his career—prev. July 8, 2016 vs. ATL (Freddie Freeman, Nick Markakis) and June 10, 2016 vs. KC (Eric Hosmer twice)…prior to yesterday, Sale had yielded only 8 HR to lefties in his career to five different players: Hosmer (3), DET Brennan Boesch (2), Freeman, Markakis and CLE Travis Hafner. Ê Morrison’s blast was his first HR off a LHP since May 25, 2016 vs. MIA (Justin Nicolino)…hit 20 HR vs. RHP in between…since the start of 2015, it was only the 2nd of his 41 HR to come off a LHP. Ê Morrison became the quickest Ray to reach 10 HR (39th team game) since 2009, when Carlos Peña did it in Game 24 and Evan Longo- ria hit his 10th in Game 30. RAYS vs. RED SOX—The Rays are 2-4 in the season series, all at Fenway Park…Rays lost 3 of 4 games, April 14-17…Rays have lost 8 of the last 10 meetings dating back to 2016…the Rays went 7-12 in the 2016 season series (4-6 at home, 3-6 at Fenway Park), only the second time they lost the season series in the Rays era (since 2008), also going 7-12 in 2013… Tampa Bay is 87-85 (.506) vs. Boston since becoming the Rays in 2008. Ê The Rays and Red Sox next meeting is at Tropicana Field, July 6-9 leading into the All-Star break—the Rays 87th game of the season… only once has Boston waited longer to make their first trek to St. Pe- tersburg: July 27, 2007…last year they didn’t come down until June 27, the Rays 75th game. Ê Rays won’t return to Fenway Park again until Sep 8-10. EVAN LONGORIA—Has hit 17 HR at Fenway Park, 2nd among active players as a visitor to TOR José Bautista (24), and 31 HR vs. Boston, also 2nd to Bautista (41)…Longoria’s career 98 RBI vs. Boston rank 3rd among active players, behind SEA Robinson Canó (114) and Bautista (99). Ê Longoria has drawn 539 BB in his career, 2nd in club history behind Ben Zobrist (542)…he’s also 2nd in at-bats (4,984), runs scored (728) and hits (1,345), trailing Carl Crawford (4,992-AB, 765-R, 1,480-H) in each category…he is already the Rays all-time leader in HR, RBI, doubles, XBH, games and total bases. Ê Since the start of the 2013 season, Evan’s 679 games played lead the majors, followed by SEA Kyle Seager (672) and NYY/SEA Rob- inson Canó (668). ABOUT THE OFFENSE—The Rays offense leads the majors with 153 BB and 400 SO…2B Brad Miller has 28 BB, tied with MIN Miguel Sanó for the AL lead…Rays have 56 SO more than any other team (Arizona, 354) and 69 SO more than any other AL team (Texas, 331)…last year Rays hitters had a club-record 1,482 SO, 2nd most in AL history…Rays have had 25 double-digit strikeout games, most in the majors, putting them on a pace for 104…the major league record is 80 by the 2013 Astros. Ê The Rays have their most walks and strikeouts in club history through 39 games (152 BB in 2010, 359 SO in 2016)…their 48 HR are 2nd most in club history through 39 games, behind their 60 last season… their 169 runs scored are their most at this point since 2013 (182). Ê Rays are tied with the Tigers for the AL lead with 9 triples. COREY DICKERSON—Has 15 multi-hit games, tied with NYY Starlin Cas- tro for the AL lead…has a 7-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 11 of 12 games in May…ranks among AL leaders in batting avg. (.326, 6th), hits (45, 3rd), 2B (11, T-3rd), XBH (18, T-5th), total bases (76, 3rd) and SLG (.551, 7th)…since the 2016 All-Star break, Corey has hit 33 2B, tied with ATL Freddie Freeman and WAS Daniel Murphy for the major league lead…his 52 XBH over that span are tied with BOS Mookie Betts for 3rd in the AL, trailing MIN Brian Dozier (59) and Evan Longoria (53). PITCHING PROPERLY—Rays starting pitchers own a 3.38 ERA, 3rd in the majors behind the Dodgers (3.34) and Rangers (3.36), and lead the majors with a .233 opp avg. …removing the just-optioned LH Blake Snell from their body of work, they have compiled a 3.07 ERA and .226 opp avg. …Rays starters have worked into the 6th inning in 10 consecutive starts and have lasted 7 IP or longer in 6 of their last 15 games, following a stretch of 16 games without doing that…they have yielded 2 runs or fewer in 9 of their last 14 starts…overall, Rays pitchers carry a 3.69 ERA, 5th best in the majors. NEXT UP—The 6-game road trip continues with a 3-game set in Cleveland, Mon-Wed…Rays enter the series with a 5-game losing streak vs. the Tribe, and have dropped 10 of the last 11…Rays have lost the last three season series (2014-16) going a combined 5-14 (.263), after going 19-10 (.655) from 2010-13…they went 1-5 in 2016 (1-2 home, 0-3 road)…the only other time the Rays visited Cleveland with the Indians defending the AL pennant was the inaugural 1998 season, when they were swept in 3 games, May 1-3, punctuated by C Sandy Alomar Jr.’s walk-off grand slam off RH Roberto Hernandez in the series finale…all 3 games were sold out. OLD NEMESIS—RH Chris Archer, who the Indians drafted in 2006, will start the Monday opener…in his last start (Wed vs. KC) he earned his first career win over the Royals, leaving Cleveland as the only AL team he’s never beaten…he is 0-5 with a 5.14 ERA (28-IP, 16-ER) in 5 career starts vs. CLE, although in 3 of those starts he received no run support…the last pitcher to lose his first 5 career starts vs. CLE was LAA Ervin Santana (5) from 2005-07, and no pitcher has lost his first 6 career starts vs. CLE since BOS Frank Sullivan in 1954-55.

TODAY’S STARTER—RH MATT ANDRIESE (2-1, 3.12)

Ê LAST START—On Tue vs. KC, was in line to win consecutive starts for the first time since Sep 11-17, 2016 prior to Jumbo Díaz’s blown save…lasted 5.1 IP, the third time this season he’s failed to finish 6 IP… his balk in the 3rd scored Jorge Bonifacio (unearned) and led to the ejection of Manager Kevin Cash…it was the second time in his career he’s allowed a run on a balk (also May 20, 2016 at DET)…yielded a 2-run homer to Salvador Perez in the 6th, his last batter faced…his line: ND, 5.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 SO, 1 HR, 83 pit, 56 str.

Ê The 6th inning home run snapped a streak of 13 straight innings without allowing an earned run.

Ê MOTHER’S DAY ENCORE—Has a chance to become the first pitcher in Rays history to record multiple wins on Mother’s Day…last year at Angel Stadium, he pitched in front of his mom, Lynn, for the first time in the big leagues and did so at the stadium he went to as a kid to see games…earned a 3-1 win and his only run allowed was a 1st-inning sac fly by Albert Pujols…became the first Ray to induce 3 GIDP in a game since Alex Cobb on Sep 23, 2014 at BOS.

Ê LAST SIX—Has yielded 3 ER or fewer in 6 straight starts, one shy of matching the longest such streak of his career (7, May 25–Aug 7, 2016—with a stint in the bullpen in between)…is 2-1 with a 2.48 ERA (36.1-IP, 10-ER) and 33 SO over this stretch of 6 starts, which began after allowing 4 ER in 4 IP in his season debut, April 7 vs. TOR.

Ê THE LONG BALL—Since the 2016 All-Star break, has allowed 22 HR in 103 IP over 21 apps (18 starts), and his 1.92 HR/9 IP ratio is 6th highest in the AL over that span (min. 75 IP)…prior to last season’s All-Star break, had a 0.69 HR/9 IP ratio in 40 career apps (16 starts).

Ê The home run has accounted for 10 of his 17 runs allowed this season and 30 of his 59 runs since the 2016 All-Star break.

Ê SEEKING LENGTH—Has averaged 15.6 pitches per inning over his last 3 starts, compared to 18.0 pitches per inning over his first 4 starts…from April 29–May 4, went 7 IP in consecutive starts for the second time in his career (also May 8-14, 2016 at LAA, vs. OAK)…however, he has completed 6 IP only 11 times in 34 career starts and has gone more than 6 IP (e.g. recorded at least one out in the 7th in-ning) only five times in 34 starts…since June 4, 2016, has failed to fin-ish 6 IP in 15 of 21 starts and has gone 5 IP or fewer in 10 of 21 starts.

Ê EARLY RETURNS—In his career, has gone 11-5 with a 2.97 ERA (151.2-IP, 50-ER) in 34 apps (22 starts) before the All-Star break, com-pared to 2-9 with a 6.15 ERA (82-IP, 56-ER) in 27 apps (12 starts) after the break…has only lost twice in his career in April or May, both against the Blue Jays—April 29 at TOR and April 19, 2015 vs. TOR.

Ê Began last season with a 6-0 record, the fifth Ray to start a sea-son at 6-0 or better (last LH Matt Moore, 8-0 in 2013).

Ê HELP WANTED—Four times he has left the game with a lead and hasn’t gotten the win…was ineligible for the win in his season debut due to his start of 4 IP…three other times the bullpen gave up the lead:

Ê April 13 at NYY: Left after 6 IP with a 2-1 lead and Xavier Cede-ño yielded a 2-run homer to Aaron Hicks in the 7th inning.

Ê April 23 vs. HOU: Left after 5 IP with a 4-3 lead and Alex Co-lomé yielded an unearned run in the 9th (passed ball, sac fly).

Ê THE CENTURY MARK—Has thrown 100 pitches or more 3 times in his last 5 starts, including consecutive starts from April 29–May 4 for the first time in his career…his first start this season of 100-plus pitch-es, April 18 vs. DET, snapped a streak of 14 consecutive starts without doing so…it was the longest streak by a Rays starter since Andy Son-nanstine (17) from May 27, 2009–June 3, 2011.

Ê AT A GLANCE—Made the Opening Day roster for the second time in his career…selected as the No. 5 starter on March 23 by Manager Kevin Cash…split time between the starting rotation and bullpen for the Rays over the previous two seasons…made the Rays Opening Day roster in 2015 and followed Chris Archer, Nate Karns and Jake Odorizzi in the Rays rotation, but actually made his major league de-but out of the bullpen in a game started by Steve Geltz.

Ê 2016 IN REVIEW—Recalled from Triple-A Durham on May 8 and spent the rest of last season in the majors, making 29 apps (19 starts)…joined the rotation after his call up, and shifted to the bullpen in June when LH Blake Snell was promoted despite leading the Rays rotation over that span with 5 wins, 44.2 IP and a 2.82 ERA (44.2-IP, 14-ER) in 7 starts…rejoined the rotation after the Aug 1 trade of LH Matt Moore to San Francisco, making 11 starts down the stretch and going 2-6 with a 6.47 ERA (55.2-IP, 40-ER).

Ê X-RAY REPORT—Matt was inducted to the Riverside Sports Hall of Fame in January…is one of three baseball players to have his jersey (No. 5) retired at East Valley (Calif.) High School, joining fellow ma-jor league pitchers Tyler Chatwood and the late Tommy Hanson, who played ball with Matt’s older brother, Bryan…Matt remains close friends with Chatwood, one of his high school teammates, and they golf together often…in college, Matt recorded a hole-in-one at a course in Riverside, Calif., on a par-3, 200-yard hole.

Ê DOUBLE DIGITS—Has made back-to-back starts with double-digit strikeouts, his first time doing that since Aug 20-26, 2015…only three times in franchise history has a pitcher made 3 straight starts of dou-ble-digit strikeouts, most recently Archer from May 27–June 7, 2015

Ê vs. CLEVELAND—Is 0-5 with a 5.14 ERA (28-IP, 16-ER) in 5 career starts against the Indians, the team that drafted him in 2006…has a combined 3 runs of support in those 5 starts, including 3 starts with no run support…is 0-3 with a 5.09 ERA (17.2-IP, 10-ER) in 3 career starts at Progressive Field…is the first pitcher to lose his first 5 career starts against the Indians since LAA Ervin Santana from 2005-07; no pitcher has lost his first 6 career starts vs. CLE since BOS Frank Sul-livan in 1954-55…the Indians are the only AL team he has yet to beat.
