TAMPA — It’s not exactly the sexiest streak going in the majors, but it is encouraging for Danny Jansen. The catcher who signed a free-agent deal with the Rays in the offseason has reached base in 17 consecutive games, which is a career high. It’s the longest on-base streak for a Tampa Bay hitter since Randy Arozarena had 19 in a row last summer. But there is a caveat. Jansen is only hitting .191 (9-for-47) during the streak, with much of the production due to 12 walks and a .356 on-base percentage.

TAMPA — The Rays rarely bludgeon. They do not overwhelm, nor do they stomp. When they win, it’s usually because they were incrementally better, a wee bit smarter and, occasionally, on the happy side of fortunate. And when they lose? It often looks like Sunday. Going for their first series sweep in two weeks, the Rays fell excruciatingly short in a 4-2 loss to the Brewers on Mother’s Day. The difference between winning and losing? Take your pick.

TAMPA — Drew Rasmussen was mostly sharp. Mostly efficient. Mostly impressive. And entirely frustrated. The Rays right-hander has given up only 15 hits over his last three starts, but five of those hits have been home runs. The long ball plagued him again on Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Brewers. Rasmussen retired 10 of the first 11 hitters he faced before giving up back-to-back, opposite-field homers to Christian Yelich and William Contreras.

Tarp is on the field at Steinbrenner. Light rain but the #Rays game will be delayed beyond the 1:40 scheduled start time. No word on when the game might begin.
