Sunday, April 8, 2018 First Pitch: 1:05 p.m. Location: Fenway Park TV: FOX Sports Sun Radio: WDAE 620 AM, WLCC 760 AMGame No.: 9 (1-7) Away Game No.: 5 (0-4) All-Time Game No.: 3,247 (1501-1745) All-Time Road Game No.: 1,622 (678-943)

RAY MATTER—The Rays have not won since Opening Day vs. BOS…the 7-game losing streak is their longest since July 5-16, 2016 vs. LAA, at BOS, vs. BAL (8) and the longest in the majors this season…the 1-7 record matches their worst start through 8 games in club history (2011, 2001).

Ê This is the third time in franchise history the Rays have lost their first 4 road games of the season, following 2005 (4) and 2001 (5).

Ê Yesterday at BOS the Rays dropped to 0-4 when scoring first, the only winless team in the majors when doing so…last season, they were 52-30 (.634) when scoring first…they yielded 4 runs in each of the 1st and 2nd innings, matching their season high for a frame (also Tues at NYY, 7th inning)…it was the first time they yielded at least 4 runs in back-to-back innings since June 16, 2017 at DET.

GUT CHECK—The Rays are one of 14 teams since Baseball Reference data is available (1908) to win on Opening Day and lose their next 7 games…they are the first team to do this since the 2005 Rockies (won 12-10 on Opening Day, then lost 8 straight) and the first AL team since the 2001 Devil Rays (won 8-1 on Opening Day, then lost 7 straight)…eight of these 14 teams saw their losing streaks end at 7 games…since 1908, the only teams to win on Opening Day and lose their next 8 games: 2005 Rockies (8), 1998 Marlins (11), 1961 Angels (8), 1944 Cubs (13) and 1939 Pirates (8).

EARLY TEST—Today’s game ends a stretch of 9 games to start the sea-son against the Red Sox (7) and Yankees (2), the AL East’s two postseason teams in 2017…the Rays need a win today to avoid being swept by the Yankees and Red Sox in back-to-back series for the third time in club his-tory…from May 3-9, 2002, they were swept by Boston in a 4-game home series and by New York in a 3-game home series, and from Sep 7-13, 2009, they were swept in a 4-game series at the Bronx and a 3-game series at Fenway Park…starting tomorrow through June 13, only four of the next 19 series are against teams that finished last season at .500 or better.

Ê This is the fifth game of an 8-game, 10-day trip to New York (0-2), Boston (0-2) and Chicago…this is the third straight year the Rays have had an April road 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).

RAYS vs. RED SOX—The Rays are 1-5 against the Red Sox this season, in-cluding four losses by 1-run margins…they won on Opening Day vs. BOS, but since then the 5-game losing streak against Boston is their longest since July 8–Aug 23, 2016 (5), and they haven’t dropped 6 straight since May 2–June 5, 2008 (6)…the Rays went 8-11 against the Red Sox last sea-son (4-5 at home, 4-6 on the road)…after going 7-12 in 2016, they have lost consecutive season series to the Red Sox for the first time since 2006-07.

Ê This is the seventh of 19 meetings between the clubs this season (10 at home, 9 in Boston)…they will meet 10 times before the end of April, but do not face each other in June, July or September.

ROTATION TRANSLATION—Prior to the injury to Nathan Eovaldi, the Rays planned to open the season with four regular members of the starting rotation and a bullpen day as needed in place of a fifth starter…the Rays pitching staff currently has three starters and a nine-man bullpen, which includes today’s starter Andrew Kittredge and four other long relievers.

Ê In the first two bullpen days of the season, Rays pitchers have to-taled 20.1 IP, 17 H, 6 R, 5 ER and 1 HR for a 2.21 ERA…both games have ended in 3-2 defeats to the Red Sox.

REDEFINING RELIEF—Through 8 games, a Rays reliever has thrown at least 50 pitches five times…the other 29 teams have combined to do it 10 times, and only the Marlins (2) have done it more than once…Rays reliev-ers combined to make 6 relief apps of this type all of last season…Rays relievers have totaled 3 apps of at least 4 IP, most in the majors, and 8 apps of at least 2 IP, tied with the Marlins and Rangers for most in the majors.

TAX RELIEF—In the 10-3 loss at BOS, infielder Daniel Robertson pitched a perfect 8th inning on 11 pitches (7 strikes)…it was the eighth time in franchise history a position player was used as a pitcher, first since Jesús Sucre on July 31, 2017 at HOU…the Rays have used a position player as a pitcher five times over the last four seasons, compared to three times from 1998–2014…he was the fourth Rays position pitcher to not allow a run in his relief app and the second to do so when going at least 1 IP.

Ê Robertson became the third position player in the majors to pitch in a game this season, following PHI Pedro Florimón on March 31 at ATL and MIL Hernán Pérez on Thurs vs. CHC…the Marlins used Bryan Holaday in their 20-1 loss last night at PHI…prior to Robert-son, the earliest in the year any Rays position player had been used as a pitcher was Josh Wilson on June 8, 2007 at FLA.

SEEKING LENGTH—Only once this season has a Rays starter gone at least 6 IP, when Chris Archer did it on Opening Day vs. BOS (6 IP plus 2 BF in the 7th inning)…last season, Rays starters went 6 IP or more in 88 of 162 starts (54.3 pct.), tied for the 3rd-highest rate in the AL…the Rays are the only team in the majors without a “quality start” this season (6 IP or more, 3 ER or fewer)…the club record for consecutive games without a “quality start” is 12 from Sep 19, 1998–April 7, 1999, while the club record within a single season is 10, 3x-last April 10-20, 2005.

FROM THE OTHER SIDE—Through their first 8 games, all against Boston and New York, the Rays have been victimized by opposing shortstops Xander Bogaerts and Didi Gregorius…this pair has combined to hit .469/ .514/1.094 (15-for-32) with 13 runs, 8 2B, 4 HR, 17 RBI and 3 BB, while all other opposing players have combined to hit .211/.311/.333 (50-for-237) with 9 2B, 1 3B and 6 HR…both have set their single-game career high for RBI—Bogaerts (6) yesterday and Gregorius (8) on Tuesday…this duo has more homers vs. TB than the Rays offense has for the entire season (3).

ABOUT THE OFFENSE—The Rays offense has totaled 20 runs, their 2nd-fewest in club history through 8 games to 2011 (19)…the offense has been held scoreless in 63 of their 74 trips to the plate this season (85.1 pct.)…the Rays have only led at the conclusion of 6 innings this season, while they have trailed at the end of 47 innings and been tied at the end of 22 innings…they have held a multi-run lead at the conclusion of 3 innings.

Ê The 3 HR, .264 SLG and .519 OPS are the worst marks in club history through 8 games…the 49 hits (43, 2011), 9 2B (8, 2016), .188 avg. (.167, 2011) and .254 OBP (.240, 2011) are the 2nd-worst after 8 games.

Ê Eleven of the Rays 20 runs have come in the 8th inning (55.0 pct.). Ê Through the first 8 games of the season, opposing starting pitchers

have a 1.42 ERA (50.2-IP, 8-ER) against the Rays.

UP NEXT: WHITE SOX—Tomorrow will be the first of 6 games with the White Sox this season (Mon.–Wed. at Guaranteed Rate Field, Aug 3-5 at Tropicana Field)…the clubs split the season series last year, with the Rays going 2-1 at home and 1-2 on the road…the Rays are 67-82 (.450) all-time, 38-38 at home and 29-44 on the road…they are 37-36 in the Rays era (since 2008) and 11-8 (.579) under Manager Kevin Cash (since 2015).

DAY IN, DAY OUT—Due to anticipated cold weather, tomorrow’s game at Chicago 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)

THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY—On April 8, 2015, Kevin Cash recorded his first career managerial victory, a Rays 2-0 win vs. BAL.

LAST APP—On Thurs at BOS, entered in the 10th inning and took the loss as the Rays fell, 3-2, in 12 innings…allowed a double, sacrifice bunt and intentional walk to start the 12th and was replaced by Ryan Yarbrough, who yielded a walk-off single…it was the first time in franchise history the Rays lost in walk-off fashion in an op-posing team’s home opener…his line: L, 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 SO, 35 pit, 22 str.

Ê Became the sixth pitcher in franchise history to lose twice within the team’s first 7 games of the season, following Chris Archer in 2016, David Price in 2011, Seth McClung in 2006, Dewon Brazelton in 2005 and Geremi Gonzalez in 2004…he was the first pitcher in club history to do that with losses as a starter and a reliever…for the record, the only pitcher in club history with 3 losses within the team’s first 9 games is Archer in 2016.

Ê Is the first pitcher to lose as a starter and a reliever within his team’s first 7 games since LAD Esteban Loaiza in 2008 and the first AL pitcher to do so since MIN Mike Lincoln in 1999.

ROTATION TRANSLATION—Prior to the injury to Nathan Eovaldi, the Rays planned to open the season with four regular members of the starting rotation and a bullpen day as needed in place of a fifth starter…the Rays pitching staff currently has three starters and a nine-man bullpen, including Kittredge and four other long relievers.

SPRING THINGS—Went 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA (14-IP, 7-ER) in 8 apps (2 starts) in Grape-fruit League action…went at least 2 IP in four of his last 5 apps of the spring, includ-ing 2.2 IP in each of his final two apps…also pitched went 2 IP in a minor league game against a Red Sox affiliate on March 14…his 3 wins tied a club record for spring train-ing, joining Drew Smyly and Erasmo Ramirez in 2016, Matt Moore in 2014, James Shields in 2012, Rob Delaney in 2011, Jeff Niemann, Mike Ekstrom and Wade Davis in 2010, Shields in 2007, Bryan Rekar in 2001 and Bobby Witt in 1999.

Ê Has left both of his starts in line for the loss, both ending in no-decisions after clutch hits from Denard Span—a go-ahead, 3-run triple on Opening Day and game-tying, 2-run double on Tuesday.

KING OF THE K—Has 1,058 SO in his career, which is 7 SO shy of David Price (1,065) for 2nd in franchise history…his 249 SO last season ranked 4th in the majors behind BOS Chris Sale (308), WAS Max Scherzer (268) and CLE Corey Kluber (268), and ranked 2nd in club history, behind his own record of 252 (2015)…he led the majors for a third consecutive year in

strikeouts on the slider (179), after recording 152 in 2016 and 179 in 2015…last season he made 9 starts with at least 10 SO, tying the club record…he has done that 27 times in his career, most in franchise history, ahead of David Price (23)…has not allowed a walk in 8 of those 27 career starts, tying Price for most in franchise history and as many as Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan compiled in his 27-year career.
