TONIGHT’S STARTER—RH MATT ANDRIESE (3-1, 3.18)

Ê LAST START—On Sun at BOS, became the first pitcher in Rays his-tory to record multiple wins on Mother’s Day (also 2016)…recorded his first win on the road since Sep 17, 2016 at BAL…yielded a 1st-inning RBI double to Xander Bogaerts and a 5th-inning RBI single to Dustin Pedroia, which cut the Rays to 3-2…started the 6th and went E5, BB to his first 2 BF and was replaced by Erasmo Ramirez, who got out of the jam…issued a career-high 4 BB (also June 10, 2016 vs. HOU)…his 107 pitches were his 2nd-highest total of the season…his line: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 5 SO, 107 pitches, 61 strikes.

Ê LUCKY SEVEN—Has yielded 3 ER or fewer in 7 straight starts, matching the longest such streak of his career (May 25–Aug 7, 2016—with a stint in the bullpen in between)…is 3-1 with a 2.61 ERA (41.1-IP, 12-ER) and 38 SO over this stretch of 7 starts, which began after al-lowing 4 ER in 4 IP in his season debut, April 7 vs. TOR.

Ê SEEKING LENGTH—Has completed 6 IP only 11 times in 35 career starts and has gone more than 6 IP (e.g. recorded at least one out in the 7th) only five times…since June 4, 2016, has failed to finish 6 IP in 16 of 22 starts and has gone 5 IP or fewer in 11 of 22 starts.

Ê Averaging 17.3 pitches per inning this season, 8th highest among AL qualifiers…averaged 21.4 pitches per inning in his last start.

Ê 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)…in his 2 starts since then, has combined for 10.1 IP.

Ê EARLY RETURNS—In his career, has gone 12-5 with a 2.99 ERA (156.2-IP, 52-ER) in 35 apps (23 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 May 9 vs. KC: Left after 5.1 IP with a 5-3 lead and Jumbo Díaz yieled a game-tying single to Alex Gordon in the 8th inning.

Ê THE CENTURY MARK—Has thrown 100 pitches or more 4 times in his last 6 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 THE LONG BALL—Since the 2016 All-Star break, has allowed 22 HR in 108 IP over 22 apps (19 starts), and his 1.83 HR/9 IP ratio is 7th 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 19 runs allowed this season and 30 of his 61 runs since the 2016 All-Star break.

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.

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER Ê On May 9 vs. KC, was ejected in the 3rd inning by 3B umpire Bill Welke,

his sixth career ejection as a manager and second ejection this season. Ê Is in his third season as Rays manager and at age 39, remains the ma-

jors’ youngest active skipper—5 months younger than SD Andy Green. Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager

in ML history and second to manage the Rays…joins Hall of Famers Al

Lopez and Tony La Russa, Lou Piniella, Dave Miley and John Hart. Ê Played 12 professional seasons as a catcher, including parts of eight sea-

sons in the majors (2002-10)…spent two years (2005-06) in the Rays org. Ê Played in the 1989 Little League World Series (Tampa Northside LL),

1999 College World Series (Florida State) and earned World Series rings in 2007 (Red Sox) and 2009 (Yankees).

TOMORROW’S STARTER—RH CHRIS ARCHER (3-2, 3.70) Ê LAST START—On Mon at CLE, allowed season highs in runs (7) and

earned runs (6) and yielded a career-high 6 BB (prev. 5, 7x-last April 24 at BAL)…allowed 5 runs in the 1st inning, tying his career high for a single frame (8th time, last Sep 26, 2015 at TOR, 1st inning)…also yielded single runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings; his last 2 IP were score-less…in the 1st, the Rays failed to complete an inning-ending double play that would have limited the damage to 1 run, and Lonnie Chisen-hall hit a 3-run homer later that inning…fell to 0-6 in 6 career starts against the Indians, the only AL team he has yet to beat…his line: L, 5 IP, 5 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 6 BB, 6 SO, 1 HR, 101 pit, 57 str.

Ê THE CENTURY MARK—Has thrown at least 100 pitches in 18 straight starts, dating back to Aug 12, 2016, longest such streak of his career (prev. 9, June 23–Aug 9, 2015)…it’s the longest active streak in the majors and 3rd longest in club history, behind James Shields (21 in

2011-12) and David Price (19 in 2014)…threw under 100 pitches in 9 of his first 24 starts last season before his current streak began.

Ê MR. DURABLE—Leads the majors with 131 starts since June 1, 2013, the day he was recalled for good, ahead of DET/WAS Max Scherzer (129)…KC/SD/CWS James Shields entered this season as the major league leader over that span, but is on the DL with a strained right lat.

Ê vs. NEW YORK—Is 6-5 with a 2.63 ERA (96-IP, 28-ER) in 14 career apps (all starts) against the Yankees…has gone at least 6 IP in all 14 career starts, including 7 starts of 7 IP or more…is 3-3 with a 2.98 ERA (54.1-IP, 18-ER) in 8 career starts at Tropicana Field…last faced on Opening Day vs. NYY (W, 7-IP, 2-R/ER), snapping a 5-game losing streak against them…both runs allowed came in the 2nd inning, on an RBI double by Aaron Judge and RBI groundout by Ronald Torreyes.
