With that performance, the 29-year-old McClanahan has strung together three straight scoreless starts for the first time in his career. Hes scattered 16 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings along the way and, according to StatMuse, is the only pitcher with 15 innings pitched and zero earned runs in that span.His changeup and curveball were working against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, and the Rays bullpen picked up where he left off to ensure that their streak of games allowing three or fewer runs increased to a franchise record 13. Thats tied for the second longest in the wild card era, per MLB.com. Tampa needs five more games of that kind to match the 18 such games the San Francisco Giants stacked during the 2010 campaign. That season, the Giants won the first of the three World Series titles that made up their 2010s dynasty.The Rays are on fire!- Six wins in a row!- Ten straight wins at home!- Thirteen consecutive games allowing 3 runs or fewer - a new franchise record! pic.twitter.com/Ve1tZJKnAD MLB (@MLB) May 6, 2026This years Rays have secured an MLB-best five sweeps this season. Theyve won six consecutive games and 12 of their last 13. Theyre 22-7 since they started the year 2-5. Its early May, and Tampa is flirting with first place in the AL East. Following its latest win over the Blue Jays (16-21), the Rays (24-12) drew within one game of the division-leading New York Yankees.McClanahan is part of a Rays pitching staff that came into Wednesday with the fifth-best ERA (3.65) in the majors this season. Hes part of a starting rotation that also features righties Nick Martinez and Drew Rasmussen, who are sparkling with ERAs of 1.71 and 2.95, respectively.After battling back from Tommy John surgery and then an operation that addressed a nerve issue in his left triceps, McClanahan has returned to form and turned in a type of stretch he didnt even deliver pre-injuries.Longtime Rays manager Kevin Cash removed McClanahan in the sixth inning Wednesday. By then, Tampa had scored two of its three runs in the victory, thanks to a fourth inning that showcased an RBI double from Jonny DeLuca and an RBI single from fellow outfielder Chandler Simpson.Cashs Rays are hoping to reach the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. This spring surge is slingshotting them into great position as the summer nears.
