Ê SEEKING LENGTH—Has completed 6 IP only 11 times in 36 career starts (30.6 pct.) 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 fin-ish 6 IP in 17 of 23 starts and has gone 5 IP or fewer in 12 of 23 starts.

Ê Is averaging 17.3 pitches per inning this season, the 9th-highest among AL qualifiers…has averaged 19.4 over his last 2 starts.

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 3 starts since then, has combined for 15.1 IP.

Ê THE LONG BALL—Since the 2016 All-Star break, has allowed 24 HR in 113 IP over 23 apps (20 starts), and his 1.91 HR/9 IP ratio is 6th 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 12 of his 24 runs allowed this season and 32 of his 66 runs since the 2016 All-Star break.

Ê HOMEBODY—Is unbeaten (3-0) in his 6 starts at home, matching the longest home winning streak of his career (also May 14–June 15, 2016)…tied with Erasmo Ramirez with 3 wins at home, tied for 6th in the AL…is the first Ray to start the season without a home loss through 6 starts here since 2013, when Jeremy Hellickson (3-0 through 6 home starts) and Alex Cobb (7-0 through 13 home starts) both did it.

Ê Has received 8.91 R/9 IP of run support at home, 3rd in the AL behind DET Jordan Zimmermann (11.39) and CWS Miguel Gonzalez (9.47)…has received at least 3 runs of support in all 6 starts and 5 runs or more of support in 4 of his 6 starts.

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 THE CENTURY MARK—Has thrown 100 pitches or more 4 times in his last 7 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 was April 18 vs. DET and snapped a streak of 14 consecutive starts without doing so…that was the longest streak by a Rays starter since Andy Sonnanstine (17) from May 27, 2009–June 3, 2011.

Ê IN COMMAND—Since the start of last season, has made 7 starts without a walk, 2nd on the team to Jake Odorizzi (8)…has done this despite starting last season in Triple-A Durham and making 10 apps out of the bullpen…his 1.76 BB/9 IP ratio last season was the lowest by a Ray (min. 100 IP) since LH David Price in 2014 (1.21).

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.

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.
