RAY MATTER—The Rays lost 8-7 last night in the series opener, nearly overcoming their 5-1 deficit after the 1st inning…it was their first loss when scoring 7-plus runs since June 30, 2016 vs. DET (10-7)…there were 15 BB in the game—7 drawn by the Rays and 8 drawn by Cleveland—the first time a Rays game featured 7-plus walks from each side since Aug 19, 2014 vs. DET (8-6 loss in 11 inn.) and the first such 9-inning game since June 25, 2013 vs. TOR (5-1 win)…they returned to 3 games below .500, matching their season most…Rays outhit the Indians, 11-9, their fourth loss of the season when outhitting opponents (15-4)…a run scored in each of the first seven half-in- nings…the Rays briefly led 1-0 last night in the 1st inning, marking their 16th come-from-behind loss of the season, most in the majors…the Rays have held a lead in 27 of their last 29 games but are only 13-16 in those 29 games.
