TORONTO — It\u2019s been too long to call this a hot start. It\u2019s been too impressive to call it a fluke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What the Rays have done so far has matched the 2020 club for the third-best 40-game start in franchise history, trailing only the 2023 (30-10) and 2010 (29-11) teams. The Braves (28-13) are the only team in the Majors with a better record than a Tampa Bay team that was widely projected to finish last in the AL East when the season began only 6 1\/2 weeks ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI’d like to keep this pace going,\u201d starter Drew Rasmussen quipped. \u201cThink we’re gonna be in a really good spot if we can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They\u2019ve won nine of their last 10 games and an MLB-best 25 of 33 since April 4, and they are a mind-boggling 19-3 against American League competition. According to MLB Network research, the Rays are also the first AL East team to win nine of their first 10 games against divisional opponents since the 1992 Blue Jays (also 9-1).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How are they doing it? Their latest victory provided a pretty good representation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

By Rasmussen\u2019s standards, it wasn\u2019t necessarily a great start. That says a lot more about Rasmussen than it does about the way he pitched against the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Rasmussen held Toronto to three runs, all on a second-inning swing by Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez, over six innings. He gave up only four hits and a walk while striking out six in his franchise-record 46th consecutive start allowing four runs or fewer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Gim\u00e9nez\u2019s two-run homer off lefty Ian Seymour in the seventh inning made Monday night the first time since April 21 that the Rays allowed more than three earned runs in a game, snapping the franchise-record streak at 16 straight, the longest in the Majors since the Giants\u2019 18-game run in September 2010.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Still, the Rays have yielded only 29 total runs over their last 17 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThey certainly are pitching with a lot of confidence right now,\u201d manager Kevin Cash said. \u201cWhat they’re doing as kind of a unit is really, really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Small ball, stars and \u2018the power of friendship\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The lineup\u2019s depth and versatility have become key traits for the Rays. So has their eagerness to put the ball in play, as they entered Monday with the Majors\u2019 best contact rate (82.8%) and second-lowest strikeout rate (18.6%).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cA lot of good things can happen when you move the ball,\u201d center fielder Cedric Mullins said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Jake Fraley and Richie Palacios exemplified another important aspect of the group\u2019s success during a three-run rally in the first inning: playing a role, and playing it well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Neither left-handed hitter had recorded an at-bat since last Tuesday, ceding time to outfielders Jonny DeLuca and Ryan Vilade and infielder Ben Williamson. But they were back in the lineup against right-hander Kevin Gausman and immediately did what they were put in there to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After singles by Chandler Simpson and Junior Caminero and a sac fly by Jonathan Aranda, Fraley hit a two-out double and Palacios pounced on a two-run single to break open a three-run lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cEven when you’re not starting, you’re going to play on this team,\u201d said Palacios, who picked up three hits on the night. \u201cEverybody’s always ready, trying to do the best that they can with their skill set.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Starter Shane McClanahan insists the Rays\u2019 clubhouse chemistry is a big part of this successful start, because it can\u2019t be a coincidence that a group this close plays such a selfless brand of baseball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been joking around and calling it the power of friendship,\u201d McClanahan said, grinning. \u201cObviously there is more to it than just that. Everybody here does what they do so well, and everybody’s allowed to be who they are as a competitor, as a person, and it definitely translates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Of course, it helps to have special players atop the order. The Rays have that in Simpson, Caminero, Aranda and Yandy D\u00edaz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Aranda, who quietly leads the AL with 32 RBIs, handled the rest of the heavy lifting. He slapped a broken-bat RBI single in the second, then continued his career-long assault on Toronto\u2019s staff with a Statcast-projected 415-foot solo shot to center in the fifth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cFortunately, I just play really well against them,\u201d said Aranda, who\u2019s hit 10 of his 32 career homers against the Jays, through interpreter Kevin Vera. \u201cThankfully, they’re a division rival, and I’m able to come through.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
