Rays pitchers are finding increasingly creative ways to spend their days off.
After recording a five-out save on Wednesday night, reliever Joel Peralta was told he could take a beach day Thursday, and dressed accordingly.
Meanwhile, cheering Peralta and the Rays on to their fourth consecutive victory, starter David Price set a new personal bubble gum-chewing record.
The Rays lefty then took to Twitter with a contest, asking his followers to guess the number of pieces he mashed together to form this glob.
The first person to tell me how many pieces of gum this was in my mouth will get a signed baseball by the 5 starters!!lockerz.com/s/206087027

The recipient of a baseball signed by all five members of the Rays rotation was @HumandChuck. "It's a young lady. She lives in Toronto," Price said, "She got it right on her first guess, so she won."
