Any of you ever watch The Chase? It’s a British game show that was adapted (somewhat poorly) to American television on GSN. It’s probably my second-favorite game show on TV right now, next to Jeopardy! In it, contestants answer trivia questions head-to-head against very, very smart trivia masters who seem to know everything about every little topic you’d possible imagine. Seriously, the amount of stuff they know is incredible.
Contestants do an initial head-to-head game where they try...

Blake Snell will make his 16th start of the season Tuesday in Houston after allowing four runs -- his most since May 13 -- in his last start against the Yankees. He has yielded two runs or fewer in 12 starts this season. Steady veteran righty Justin Verlander will start for the Astros. Game time is 8:10 p.m. ET.
Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is ready to return to the Rays. The two-time Gold Glover, who had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb on April 20, is set to be activated on Tuesday and be available for Tampa Bay's game against the Astros in Houston.

And the Astros are doing pretty darned well in 2018, too
The Tampa Bay Rays avoided the four game sweep at the hand of the New York Yankees with a 3-1 victory on Sunday. The Rays are 5-5 during their last ten games, but face the scorching hot Houston Astros, winners of 11 in a row. Well, they have to regress a bit at some point, why not now?

As the Rays continue to employ an unorthodox bullpen strategy by utilizing relievers as starters in many games, Tampa Bay's relief corps posted a 1.48 ERA over 30 1/3 innings last week to earn MLB Bullpen of the Week presented by The Hartford honors for the period of June 11-17.
Now we know where Rays third baseman Matt Duffy gets his work ethic from. It comes from his father, Tom, who taught him to work hard, be smart in his decisions and take responsibility for his actions.
Right-hander Ryne Stanek will get the start on Monday against the Astros at 8:10 p.m. ET in the Rays' third consecutive bullpen day. Stanek last pitched on Saturday, going 1 1/3 innings without allowing a run against the Yankees. The Rays will face right-hander Gerrit Cole, who is off to one of the best starts of his career. He is 8-1 with a 2.40 ERA.
Well it’s pretty bad but better than a sweep
Happy Fathers Day, friends! Our recap crew was stretched a bit thin today so here you’ll find a brief summary, largely courtesy or Mr. Twitter, and a few observations. If you saw something in the game worthy of further discussion, tell us about it in the comments.

When Father’s Day means more than a cheesy coffee mug.
The Rays are losing a lot right now, which makes it tough. We’re not professional writers here at DRays Bay, but this is baseball blog. We try to be honest about how we feel about the way things are going, the direction the team is taking, the talent level of players they’re sending out there.
But writing here has also always come with the understanding that the family of these players read what we write and care what we have to...
