ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2013 Lucky 13? For the opposition it has been anything but lucky. After all, with Shane McClanahan picking up the win in a 3-0 victory over the Blue Jays in a Wednesday matinee at Tropicana Field, the Rays have gone a franchise-record 13 straight games without allowing more than three runs. It is an eye-opening string of pitching success that bests a run of 12 such games in 2014.<\/p>\n

Here are a handful of other impressive pitching numbers from a team that swept a six-game homestand from the Blue Jays and Twins while winning their 10 straight game at home and 12 of 13 overall.<\/p>\n

0.98: Staff ERA in the six-game homestand sweep, the Rays\u2019 lowest ever for a multi-series homestand.<\/p>\n

0.99: Bullpen ERA in the last 13 games.<\/p>\n

1: Lefty Ian Seymour recorded his first career save Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

2.33: ERA versus the American League this season. (It is 4.77 against the NL.)<\/p>\n

3: Shutout wins this season, each in a nine-day stretch beginning April 28 at Cleveland.<\/p>\n

7: Pitchers who have won at least one game during the 13-game stretch noted above.<\/p>\n

16 2\/3: McClanahan\u2019s scoreless inning streak after blanking Toronto for 5 2\/3 innings Wednesday. It is a string that commenced with five scoreless innings versus Minnesota on April 25 and picked up steam by keeping San Francisco off the board for six innings last Friday.<\/p>\n

\"Shane<\/p>\n

Shane McClanahan (Tampa Bay Rays)<\/p>\n

17 1\/3: Scoreless innings streak the bullpen will take into Boston on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

18: Runs allowed in the last 13 games.<\/p>\n

24: Career wins by McClanahan at home. The USF product is 24-8 with a 2.78 ERA.<\/p>\n

76: The Rays have allowed only one home run \u2014 Toronto\u2019s Kazuma Okamoto on Tuesday \u2013 in the last 76 innings dating to the fifth inning of a 3-2 loss in Cleveland on April 27.<\/p>\n

The Rays begin a four-game series in Boston on Thursday night. Griffin Jax (1-2, 5.14) will make his third straight opening appearance. He will be opposed by lefthander Jake Bennett, who won his MLB debut versus Houston last week.<\/p>\n
