The Tampa Bay Rays set a Major League record tonight when 29 year old James Shields started the game. It was the 705th consecutive game that a pitcher who was less than 30 years of age started a game.
Johnny Damon has now reached base in 36 straight games. This is the most by any player this season. He is 1 game away from tying the franchise record of the Tampa Bay Rays held by Ben Grieve. At Age 37 Johnny Damon still gets it going.
