Rays History:

On October 26th, 2008 the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies played game four of the World Series with the Phillies routing the Rays by the score of 10-2, adding insult to injury as their starting pitcher, Joe Blanton homered off of Edwin Jackson. Due to the loss, the Rays fell one defeat away from losing the series.

By The Numbers:

Andrew Miller has put on one of the most tremendous displays in post-season history as he continues to string together scoreless multiple inning appearances.

His run of dominance has to have some front offices around baseball thinking of ways to retool their bullpens. The Rays have tried multi-inning relievers, but not to the great effect the Indians have seen in 2016.

So, onto the trivia, which pitcher in Rays history owns the most relief outings in which he recorded at least two innings pitched?
