Ê THE TURNAROUND—His ERA stands at a season-low 4.01…yielded 15 ER in his first 2 apps/1 start (5.1 IP) this year, a 25.31 ERA, and only 15 ER in 62 IP since then…since April 19, is 6-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 16 apps (10 starts), ranking among AL leaders (min. 50 IP) in ERA (2nd to OAK Sonny Gray), opp avg (.186, 1st), opp OBP (.264, 6th), opp SLG (.265, 1st) and WHIP (0.90, 1st).

Ê CAN’T TOUCH THIS—On Tue vs. CLE made his fourth start this year allowing 2 hits or fewer, tied for most in the ma-jors with five others: teammates Chris Archer and Nathan Karns, SEA Felix Hernandez, OAK Sonny Gray and Scott Kazmir…however, all of these pitchers have made at least 5 more starts than Erasmo (11).

Ê Entering this season, had only allowed 2 hits or fewer twice in 35 career starts with the Mariners (2012-14).

Ê THE WIN COLUMN—Has a career-high 6 wins this season (prev. 5, 2013)…since May 14 is 6-2 with a 2.25 ERA (48-IP, 12-ER) in 9 starts, ranking T-1st in the majors in wins and 8th in the AL in ERA.

Ê Hasn’t yielded a HR in any of his 6 wins this season. Ê Has won 3 consecutive road decisions, tying his career high (Aug 3-

29, 2013)…last road loss was April 15 at TOR.

Ê DOESN’T TAKE MUCH—Has received 2 runs or more of run support in 7 of 11 starts this season…in those 7 starts, he is 6-0 with a 1.49 ERA (36.1-IP, 6-ER), the only no decision coming in the start he left due to

injury…has gotten 1 or fewer runs of support in 4 starts, and is 0-3 with a 7.11 ERA (19-IP, 15-ER) in those starts.

Ê KEEP IT DOWN—Has only allowed 3 HR in his last 9 starts spanning 48 innings since May 14, and 7 of those 9 starts have been homer-less…has yielded 0.67 HR/9 IP this season, down from 1.55 HR/9 IP in 2014…according to STATS LLC, has a 1.64 GB/FB ratio, up from 0.97 a season ago…the AL avg. ratio is 1.42.

Ê THE CHANGE—His changeup has accounted for a career-high 27.6 percent of his pitches, according to FanGraphs…exactly half (29) of his 58 strikeouts this season have come with the changeup, including 6 of his 7 SO in his last start on Tue vs. CLE.

Ê Opponents are batting .143 (9-for-63) in AB ending with the change. Ê Has thrown 541 changeups since last yielding a home run with

the pitch (April 17, 2014 at TEX, Shin-Soo Choo), per PITCHf/x.

Ê NICARAGUA’S OWN—Is one of only 13 players in major league his-tory born in Nicaragua—most famously Dennis Martinez…earlier this season in Cleveland, Erasmo chatted briefly with “El Presidente”, who was there as the Indians celebrated the 20th anniversary of their 1995 pennant-winning team…Ramirez became the first Nicaraguan-born to play for the Rays, and was one of two who made an Opening Day roster this year along with BAL Everth Cabrera.

Ê BLOODLINES—Erasmo’s grandmother, Esperanza, taught him the game at age 4…both his parents are trained accountants, and his fa-ther fought and was wounded in Nicaragua’s civil war in the 1970s.…according to the Seattle Times, he was actually spotted by a scout while pitching at an academy in neighboring El Salvador, where his schooling and living expenses were covered while he played.

Ê His 42-39 record at the midway point made him one of 11 active manag-ers with a winning mark through their first 81 career ML games.

Ê 37-year-old manager is the youngest skipper in the majors since ARI A.J. Hinch (34) in 2009 and youngest active manager/head coach in the four major sports, ahead of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens (38).

Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager

in ML history and second to manage the Rays…joins Hall of Famers Al Lopez and Tony La Russa, Lou Piniella, Dave Miley and John Hart.

Ê Played 12 professional seasons as a catcher, including parts of eight sea-sons in the majors (2002-10)…spent two years (2005-06) in the Rays org., and appeared in 13 major league games in 2005 for Lou Piniella.

Ê Has been ejected twice as manager: April 16 at TOR, May 10 vs. TEX.

Ê LAST START—On Wed vs. CLE, threw a season-high 104 pitches…went 7 IP, tying his career high (also June 21 at CLE), but allowed 5 runs (or more) for the fourth time in 13 starts this season, most on the Rays staff despite not joining the rotation until May 1…took the loss op-posite Carlos Carrasco, who had a perfect game through 6.1 IP and a no-hitter through 8.2 IP, both broken up by Joey Butler…his line: L, 7 IP, 8 H, 5 R/ER, 1 BB, 3 SO, 104 pitches, 71 strikes.

Ê LOSING STREAK—His last win, as well as the Rays last win in a game started by Colome, was May 21 vs. OAK…the Rays are 3-10 when Co-lome starts this season and have lost his last 8 starts, the longest such streak in the AL this year and 2nd-longest in the majors, trailing PHI Aaron Harang (9, May 19–Current)…during this 0-8 stretch, Colome is 0-3 with

a 4.63 ERA (44.2-IP, 23-ER) but received only 2.42 R/9 IP in run support. Ê The longest such streak in franchise history is 15, in starts by Ger-

emi Gonzalez (Aug 24, 2003–July 5, 2004)…last season, the only one as long was for Jeremy Hellickson (9, Aug 12–Sep 25).

Ê DON’T RUSH ME—Averages 26.3 seconds between pitches, slowest in the majors (min. 50 IP)…is working faster this season than in the past—he averaged 28.5 seconds from 2013-14.

Ê vs. KANSAS CITY—Has never faced the Royals…will be making his sixth road start of the season, going 1-1 with a 3.62 ERA (27.1-IP, 11-ER) on the road compared to 2-3 with a 5.40 ERA (41.2-IP, 25-ER) in 8 starts this season at Tropicana Field.
