Marlins starter Dan Haren has 142 wins). Ê 14 players acquired by trade. Ê 14 players with less than 2 years of MLB service time. Ê 4 players who have yet to play in 2015.

RAYS LEAD MAJORS LAST FIVE YEARS—The Rays went 41-40 on the road in 2014, the fifth straight season in which they played .500 or better in road games, longest active streak in the majors…they own the majors’ best record on the road during the past five years at 217-189 (.534)…in 2014, the Rays were one of 10 teams with a winning mark on the road, but the only club in the majors to finish with sub-.500 overall record.

INTERLEAGUE PLAY—Tonight’s game is the earliest in the schedule the Rays have ever played an interleague game…in 2014, they played April 11 at CIN in their 11th game…this is the 19th season of interleague play…since it began in 1997, the American League leads the all-time series, 2,400-2,167 (.526)…in 2014, the AL won the interleague season series, 163-137, for the 11th straight season…overall, the AL has won 14 of the 18 season series…the Rays were 10-10 last season in interleague play and are 149-159 (.484) all-time but are 75-55 (.577) since 2008, 7th-best mark in the majors during that span…the Rays are 70-84 (.455) all-time in National League parks, but 22-14 since May 22, 2011 and 37-28 since 2008

CITRUS SERIES—This is the first of two three-game series between these two teams…after Sunday, they don’t meet again until Sep 29—that’s 169

days in between…Marlins lead the all-time series, 47-46, and the two teams are 8-8-1 in the season series tally…the Rays were 0-4 vs. the Marlins in 2014 and scored only 11 runs…Rays had gone 25-9 vs. the Fish in the previ-ous six seasons…the Rays won their first 5 games at Marlins Park in 2012 and 2013, but dropped both games here last season, 1-0 and 3-1.

GRAB A BAT—Rays pitchers were 1-for-22 in 2014 but combined for 2 RBI, more than any other AL pitching staff had last year…Rays pitchers were 1-for-21 in 2013…all-time they are batting .132 (45-for-340) and 16 percent of those hits came off the bat of Andy Sonnanstine, who had 7 hits between 2007-11…Rays pitchers batted .364 (8-for-22) in 2007, but since then they have combined for a .095 mark (14-for-148)…Esteban Yan has the only home run hit by a Rays pitcher…it came at Shea Stadium off NYM Bobby Jones on June 4, 2000.

THIS STREAK ENDS TONIGHT—In the first 3 games, the Rays used three different DHes, all batting leadoff (John Jaso, Brandon Guyer, Da-vid DeJesus)…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last team to start three different players at DH batting leadoff in 3 consecutive games was the Indians, Aug 14-16, 1991 (Glenallen Hill, Jerry Browne, and Alex Cole).

FIRST W—First-year Manager Kevin Cash celebrated the first win of his managing career on Wednesday…the Rays beat the Orioles, 2-0, and al-lowed 3 hits—exactly the same circumstances and opponent as Joe Mad-don’s first win for the Rays on April 6, 2006—and both coming in their third game at the post…Cash is one of four first-time managers in baseball, along with MIN Paul Molitor, TEX Jeff Bannister and ARI Chip Hale…he’s one of six skippers new to his team: Molitor, Bannister, Hale, CHC Joe Maddon and HOU A.J. Hinch.

Ê Cash was 37 years, 120 days old for the opener—youngest man-ager in Rays history, youngest major league manager since ARI A.J. Hinch (34) in 2009, and youngest AL manager since CLE Eric Wedge (35) in 2003…he is also the youngest current manager/head coach among the four major pro sports (MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA)—24 days younger than Orlando Magic head coach James Borrego.

LONGORIA TIES XBH CLUB MARK—With his double in the 9th inning Wednesday night, Evan Longoria tied Carl Crawford’s franchise record for career extra-base hits at 424…Crawford did it in 1,235 games…Evan has played in 962…only four other third basemen all-time lead their team in ca-reer extra-base hits…joins KC George Brett, MON/WAS Tim Wallach, NYM David Wright and PHI Mike Schmidt…Evan also owns the majors’ longest active streak of games played (245) and games started (172)…SF Hunter Pence’s streak of 383 games played was snapped on Opening Day—he’s on the DL with a fractured forearm.

MISCELLANEOUS—The Rays 18 hits are the 2nd fewest in club history through the first 3 games of the season (they had 12 in 2011)…OF Kevin Kiermaier remains the only American Leaguer with a double, triple and a homer in 2015…the Rays made an error on the first play of the season (Chris Archer throwing error), but none since…Evan Longoria and Des-mond Jennings are the only Rays to hit safely in all 3 games…Jennings has a 9-game hitting streak that entends back to last Aug 22…with 3 SO Wednesday night, Brad Boxberger has now fanned 108 of the 254 batters he has faced in a Rays uniform (2014-15)—a rate of 42.5 pct. …only one other major league pitcher has a better rate since the start of 2014: CIN Aroldis Chapman (52.2)…in the Orioles series, Rays pitchers held Manny Machado, Adam Jones and Chris Davis to a combined 1-for-26 (.038).

GELTZ JUST THE 24TH—Tonight, 27-year-old rookie RH Steven Geltz makes the first start of his professional career, after 256 professional apps, 241 in the minor leagues…he becomes just the Rays 24th different start-ing pitcher since 2008, fewest in the majors over that span…San Francisco (26) has used the second-fewest starters since then and Cleveland (33) has the second fewest in the AL…the Marlins have used 42 starters during that span…since 2008, the Rays have started a pitcher under the age of 30 in 93.6 pct. of their games (1,065 of 1,138)…this trend will continue in 2015, as the Rays 40-man roster doesn’t include a single starting pitcher over age 27.

McGEE, RAYS HOST TAMPA WALK NOW FOR AUTISM SPEAKS—Rays reliever Jake McGee, currently on the disabled list, will lead the Tampa Bay Walk Now for Autism Speaks tomorrow at Tropicana Field…the approxi-mately one-mile walk starts at 10:30 a.m. and helps to celebrate Autism Awareness Month and Autism Speaks’ Light It Up Blue campaign.
