TODAY’S STARTER—RH CHRIS ARCHER (2-1, 3.94)

Ê MR. DURABLE—Leads the majors with 127 starts since June 1, 2013, the day he was recalled for good…next on that list is KC/SD/CWS James Shields (126) and DET/WAS Max Scherzer (126)…Shields entered this season as the major league leader over that span, but is currently on the DL with a strained right lat.

Ê THE CENTURY MARK—Has thrown at least 100 pitches in 14 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 APRIL IN REVIEW—The Rays have gone 4-1 in his 5 starts this sea-son, and he’s received 24 runs of support…last season, they were 1-4 in his first 5 starts, giving him 4 runs of support…it took 9 starts before he received 24 runs of support…see below for a statistical comparison.

Ê Needs 8 SO to become the first AL pitcher with 40 SO in April in consecutive seasons since DET Max Scherzer in 2013-14…he had a club-record 43 SO last April…it’s worth noting he has 13 career starts of at least 11 SO, and two against the Blue Jays.
