SCHEDULE RELEASE—All 30 major league clubs released their 2019 schedules today…for the 10th consecutive season, the Rays will play at home on Opening Day when they host the Astros on Thursday, March 28…they will play 20 interleague games, as they will face all five teams from the NL West and continue their annual home-and-home series with the Marlins…the schedule also includes interleague road series against the Dodgers, Giants and Padres…it will be the club’s second trip to San Francisco (2002)…see separate press release for more information.

RAY MATTER—The Rays have won three consecutive games, matching their longest winning streak since the All-Star break (3rd time)…they are 8-4 in their last 12 games and 12-8 in their last 20 games to improve to 65-61, matching their high-water mark of the season at 4 games over .500 (also 48-44 at the end of play on July 11 vs. DET)…last night was the sev-enth time since then the Rays had an opportunity to return to 4 games over .500, but they had lost each of the previous 6 games…this marks the latest date the Rays have been at least 4 games over .500 since finishing the 2013 season at 92-71…it is only the seventh time in 21 seasons in club history they have been 4+ games over this late in a season (2008-13).

Ê Tonight the Rays are attempting to improve to 5 games over .500 for the first time since they were 51-46 through the end of play on July 21, 2017…they are also attempting to win a fourth consecu-tive game for the first time since July 7-11 at NYM, vs. DET (5).

Ê Tonight is the third game of a 7-game homestand against the Roy-als (2-0) and Red Sox…the Rays are 10-7 at home since the All-Star break, going 5-1 against teams entering the series over .500 and 5-6 against teams entering the series under .500—and this stretch comes on the heels of a 14-1 record at home from June 11–July 11.

Ê Last year through 126 games, the Rays were 61-65 but only 4.0 GB of the second Wild Card…they are four games ahead of last sea-son’s record but are 11.0 GB of the AL’s second Wild Card.

PITCHING PROPERLY—The Rays have allowed 1 run in their last 32 IP, starting with the 4th inning on Sat at BOS…last night’s solo home run al-lowed in the 5th inning snapped the club’s scoreless streak at 27 IP, tied with Sep 12-15, 2013 for the longest in franchise history…the Rays have allowed 1 run or fewer in three consecutive games for the second time this season, following June 25-28 vs. WAS/HOU—for the record, the only longer streak in club history is Sep 24-27, 2000 at TOR, vs. NYY (4).

Ê The Rays have allowed 1 run in their last 3 games, matching June 30–July 2, 2013 vs. DET, at HOU and July 31–Aug 3, 2012 at OAK, vs. BAL for the fewest in franchise history over a 3-game stretch.

Ê The Rays have pitched to a 1.89 ERA (95-IP, 22-R/20-ER) in their last 11 games since Aug 10, best in the majors over that span, ahead of the Indians (2.48)…this stretch coincides with the start of the last road trip and includes 7 games of 1 run or fewer and 3 shutouts.

Ê The Rays have pitched to a 2.57 ERA in August, 3rd in the majors. Ê The Rays have 11 shutouts this season, tied for 4th in the AL be-

hind the Indians (13), Red Sox (12) and Athletics (12)…they have achieved this despite being the 2nd-to-last team in the majors with one, with their first shutout coming on May 28 at OAK.

Ê Rays pitchers last night recorded 16 SO, tying their season high (also June 3 at SEA) and their most at home since Oct 1, 2017 vs. BAL (18)…they have reached double-digit strikeouts in three con-secutive games and in 10 of 19 games (52.6 pct.) in August.

RAYS vs. ROYALS—The Rays are 81-77 all-time against the Royals (49-35 at home, 32-42 on the road)…they are 5-0 against them this season, in-cluding four 1-run wins, and have a 6-game winning streak dating back to Aug 30, 2017, the 3rd-longest in club history over them behind June 2–Aug 1, 2009 (8) and July 28, 2005–April 16, 2016 (7)…they swept a 3-game series at Kauffman Stadium from May 14-16, and it was their first sweep of the Royals since Aug 8-11, 2011 at home (4-0) and first on the road since July 17-19, 2009 (3-0)…the Rays are 8-4 against them since the start of last season, compared to 8-25 from 2012-16…the Rays have won consecutive series over the Royals after going 0-9-1 in their previous 10 series.

PITCHING PLANS—Tonight’s game will be started by Ryne Stanek, the 36th time the Rays will use an opener and 21st time using Stanek in that role…the Rays opened the season with bullpen days as needed in place of a traditional starter, and since May 19, they have used openers to start games—generally facing 3-9 batters, depending on matchups.

Ê In March, the Rays announced a season-opening rotation of Chris Archer, Blake Snell, Nathan Eovaldi and Jake Faria…all four pitch-ers spent time on the disabled list and two were traded in July…the Rays have used other starters in 64 of 126 games (50.8 pct.).

Ê Since the debut of the opener on May 19 at LAA, Rays pitching ranks 2nd in the majors and 1st in the AL with a 3.36 ERA—before that, their 4.43 ERA was 22nd in the majors and 9th in the AL.

Ê The Rays are 37-33 with traditional starters and 28-28 otherwise. Ê Rays starters have gone 3 IP or fewer 49 times this season, most by

a team since Baseball Reference data is available (1908), ahead of the 1949 St. Louis Browns (40)…their starters have gone 2 IP or few-er 40 times, most ever by a team ahead of the 1977 Mariners (27).

REDEFINING RELIEF—The Rays bullpen has thrown 616 IP, 2nd-most in major league history behind the 2012 Rockies (657)…they are one of only five teams in major league history to see its bullpen reach 600 IP, and they are attempting to become the first of those to finish .500 or better…the others: 2017 Marlins (77-85), 2017 Reds (68-94), 2012 Rockies (64-98) and 2003 Rangers (71-91)…the bullpen’s 68 decisions are most in the majors, ahead of the Dodgers (56)…so far this season, Rays relievers have totaled:

Ê 46 apps of at least 50 pitches, most since the 1952 Dodgers (47) and most in the AL since Baseball Reference data is available (1908);

Ê 21 apps of at least 70 pitches, most since the 1953 Dodgers (22) and most in the AL since Baseball Reference data is available (1908);

Ê 110 apps of at least 2 IP, most since the 2003 Devil Rays (112); Ê 53 apps of at least 3 IP, most since the 1995 Tigers (53); Ê 35 apps of at least 4 IP, most since the 1982 Red Sox (40); Ê 23 apps of at least 5 IP, most since the 1953 Dodgers (24) and most

in the AL since the 1950 Philadelphia Athletics (24).

WHAT ZILLA DID—Last night Blake Snell’s only run allowed in 6 IP was a 5th-inning solo homer by Ryan O’Hearn, just the second time in his career he allowed a homer to a lefty (also April 16 vs. TEX, Joey Gallo)…he is 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA (20-IP, 2-ER) in 4 starts since returning from the 10-day DL (left shoulder fatigue), and both runs over that span have scored via solo homer…he is 15-5 in 24 starts this season, and his 15 wins are al-ready tied for 5th for a single season in club history and are the most since Matt Moore (17) in 2013…his 2.07 ERA would set a club record among qualifiers, ahead of 2012 Cy Young Award winner David Price (2.56).

Ê Snell has allowed 1 ER or fewer in 13 consecutive home starts since Sep 12, 2017 vs. NYY, the longest such streak in the majors since 1913—when earned runs were officially kept in both leagues.

Ê According to Stats LLC, he joined Hall of Famer STL Bob Gibson in 1968 as the only pitchers in the live ball era (since 1920) with at least 160 SO and fewer than 35 runs allowed through 24 starts.

ODDS & ENDS—Last night Willy Adames homered in the 2nd inning off the C-ring catwalk, the seventh fair ball to hit a catwalk this season and fifth home run, first since LAA Mike Trout on July 31 off Ryan Yar-brough…his avg. was below .200 as late as July 29 (.196), but since then he is batting .355/.414/.597 (22-for-62) with 3 2B, 4 HR and 10 RBI.

Ê Mallex Smith has recorded multiple hits in five of his last 6 games…he is batting .302 and is attempting to become the first qualifying Ray to hit at least .300 since Casey Kotchman (.306) in 2011.

Ê Sergio Romo pitched the 9th inning and recorded his 17th save…his combination of 5 starts and 17 saves has been unmatched since NYM Jenrry Mejia (7 starts, 28 saves) in 2014, and unmatched by an AL pitcher since CAL Joe Grahe (7 starts, 21 saves) in 1992.

Ê Tommy Pham left last night’s game in the 9th inning with a dislo-cated right ring finger; X-rays were negative and he is day-to-day…his 3 hits were his most since July 20 at CHC (3, with STL).
