Ê PITCHING DEEP—Has pitched into the 7th inning 8 times in 9 starts, matching his season total in 2014 (in 31 starts)…only 4 other starters in the majors (2 in the AL) have pitched into the 7th eight times: WAS Max Scher-zer, HOU Dallas Keuchel, CLE Corey Kluber and CIN Johnny Cueto.

Ê REDEFINING THE QUALITY START—Eight of his 9 starts this season have been “quality” (6-plus IP, 3 ER or fewer)…however, he has also made 3 starts of at least 6 IP and allowing no more than 3 hits and 1 ER…has made 11 such starts in his career, all coming since the start of 2014…that’s 2 more than any other pitcher in the majors during that span.

Ê vs. AL WEST—Is 4-3 with a 2.36 ERA (45.2-IP, 12-ER) in 8 career starts against AL West opponents…hasn’t allowed a run in 3 of those 8 starts, has allowed 1 run or fewer in 5 of 8 and has allowed 3 runs or fewer in all but one of those 8 starts…lone exception was Aug 3, 2014 vs. LAA (3-IP, 5-ER).

Ê RARE COMPANY—He became only the third AL pitcher in the last 100 years to start the season by winning consecutive starts of 6-plus in-nings, 2 hits or fewer and 1 run or fewer, joining TEX Alexi Ogando in 2011 and KC Runelvys Hernandez in 2003…the only NL pitcher to ever fit that criteria was HOU Roger Clemens in 2004.

Ê TOP ROOKIE—In 2014, was named the Rays Rookie of the Year by the Tampa Bay Chapter of the BBWAA…received one third-place vote in the BBWAA voting for AL Rookie of the Year…led all major league rookies with 174 SO and 31 starts, and ranked 2nd with 168 IP.

Ê STRIKEOUT ARTIST—His 174 SO in 2014 fell one shy of the club rookie record (175 by Matt Moore in 2012)…became the second Ray to lead major league rookies in strikeouts, joining Scott Kazmir, who also had 174 in 2005…his 9.32 SO/9 IP was 3rd best all-time among AL rookies.

Ê LAST START—On Thu vs. OAK, worked out of multiple jams and didn’t allow a run over 5 IP…surrendered a leadoff triple to Billy Burns in the 1st, and got a groundout to end a 2-out, bases-loaded jam in the 4th…was his second scoreless start of the season, along with his season de-but on May 1 vs. BAL…threw first-pitch strikes to 15 of 20 batters faced, a career-high (as a starter) 75 percent…his line: W, 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 SO, 87 pitches, 57 strikes.

Ê AS A STARTER—Is 6-2 with a 2.75 ERA (59.0-IP, 18-ER) in 11 career starts…has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 8 of his 11 career starts, and hasn’t allowed an earned run in 6 starts…in comparison, has a 10.80 ERA (5-IP, 6-ER) in 2 relief apps.

Ê WHIFFS—Recorded 16 SO over his first 3 starts this season, spanning 16 IP…since then, only has 3 SO in his last 2 starts, spanning 8.1 IP…

went 29 BF without one, prior to his first strikeout on Thu vs. OAK (of Mar-cus Semien)…has only gotten 4 swings-and-misses in his last 2 starts (147 pitches, 2.7 pct.), after 26 in his first 3 GS (238 pitches, 10.9 pct.)

Ê DON’T RUSH ME—Averages 25.7 seconds between pitches, which would rank as the longest in the majors if he qualified…following him are DET David Price (25.6), COL Kyle Kendrick (25.4), ARI Jeremy Hellickson (24.7) and BOS Clay Buchholz (24.7).

Ê Among the Rays current starters, next is Chris Archer (21.2). Ê Is actually working faster this season than he did in the past…

averaged 28.5 seconds between pitches from 2013-14.

Ê vs. SEATTLE—Has never faced the Mariners…only career start against an AL West opponent was his last start, Thu vs. OAK (see above).
