THE QUOTE

""Thursday definitely meant a lot; 50 games is huge. ... I'm definitely going to keep this ball." — Florida International's Garrett Wittels, after hitting safely in his 50th straight game — the second longest streak in Division I history. Wittels extended his streak to 53 games on Saturday and trails just Robin Ventura who hit in 58 straight in 1987 for Oklahoma St.

2.93 The ERA of the Rays' five starters — James Shields, Matt Garza, David Price, Jeff Niemann and Wade Davis — as of Thursday. It's three-quarters of a run better than any other American League team's starters.
