RAY MATTER—The Rays lost last night’s series opener, 12-4, a season- high for runs allowed…it was their most runs allowed since Sep 27, 2016 at CWS (L, 13-6)…RH Jake Odorizzi yielded a 5-run 1st inning, with all 5 of those runs unearned following a 2B Brad Miller error, equaling the most runs allowed by the Rays in an inning this season (last 5-run 1st, May 15 at CLE)…last night was only the fourth game of their last 45 in which they never held a lead, going 23-22 over that stretch…they have held a lead in 49 of their 57 games overall (86.0 pct.), highest pct. in the majors…despite last night’s loss, the Rays have won 6 of their last 9 overall and 10 of 16. Ê Rays are 16-12 outside the AL East, 13-16 within the division…Rays are 6-5 so far in a stretch of 19 straight games outside the division. Ê The Rays are 22-17 vs. right-handed starters, 7-11 vs. LHP starters. Ê The Rays are unbeaten (5-0-1) in series play in their last six series… they haven’t lost a series since dropping 3 of 4 games, May 8-11 vs. KC…they have won 4 straight rubber match games and 5 straight getaway games. ROAD RAYGE—The Rays will need to win tonight and tomorrow to win their sixth consecutive road series (2-0 at MIA, 2-1 at BOS, 2-1 at CLE, 2-1 at MIN, 2-1 at TEX)…they began the season 3-10 on the road but are 10-5 since then…this is the first time they have won five straight road series since May 29–June 21, 2015 at BAL/LAA/SEA/WAS/CLE…they are 4-3 on this 9-game, 10-day road trip (2-1 at MIN, 2-1 at TEX, 0-1 here)…they will fly an estimated 6,389 miles on the voyage. Ê A home run tonight would tie the club record of 15 consecutive road games with a home run, set last season (April 23–May 23, 2016)… they’ve hit 33 HR over the 14-game streak…Rays have 26 HR in their last 9 road games, and 18 HR in 7 games on this road trip. RAY-KING RAYS—The Rays have hit multiple home runs in 5 straight games, the third time in club his- tory they’ve achieved a streak of this length…both previous streaks occurred in 2009: May 29–June 6 (7) and Aug 3-8 (5)…the Rays lead the majors with 86 HR, most in club history after 57 games (85 in 2016)…they have 35 HR in the last 16 games…they rank among AL leaders in several other categories (see chart)…their 269 runs rank 3rd in the AL, and are their most through 57 games since 2013 (283)… Rays lead the AL with 43 runs scored in the 1st in- ning, ahead of Houston (36)…Rays have outscored opponents 175-121 in innings 1-through-5, but have been outscored 130-94 from the 6th inning on. Ê 3B Evan Longoria’s next home run will be the 250th of his career… the only other players with 250 HR for their current team are DET Miguel Cabrera (313), MIL Ryan Braun (292) and TOR José Bau- tista (275)…1B Logan Morrison’s next home run will be his 100th. Ê The Rays hit 52 HR in the month of May, tied with the Astros for the major league lead…this shattered the club record for any calendar month (44 in Sep 2012 and May 2016). B2B DOMINANCE—Last night LF Colby Rasmus and SS Tim Beckham connected for back-to-back home runs in the 4th inning…it was already the Rays 7th back-to-back home runs of the season, 3 more than any other team in baseball (Angels and D-backs each have 4)…the club record is 9 (2008 and 2007)…to clarify, any occurrence of 3+ consecutive HR counts as one back-to-back. DRAMA KINGS—Twice in their last 5 games (Sun at MIN, Wed at TEX) the Rays have won despite trailing with 2 outs in the 9th inning…the Rays have 3 wins this season when trailing after 8 innings, tied for most in the majors (also LAA, LAD, OAK, PIT)…last season, they were 0-83 when trailing after 8 innings, one of three teams in the majors and one of two in the AL who went winless in those games (MIN, 0-87; SF, 0-62).

ELIAS SAYS—Last night all 12 of Seattle’s runs were driven in by the bot- tom four hitters (6-through-9) in the batting order…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other time in the liveball era (since 1920) that a team scored at least 12 runs with all of the runs driven in by the starting 6-through-9 hitters in the lineup was on Aug 10, 1986, when the Royals scored 13 runs at Yankee Stadium…Steve Balboni had 5 RBI, and Jim Sundberg and Darryl Motley each notched 4 RBI. RAYS vs. MARINERS—The 12 runs allowed last night were the Rays most against Seattle since May 12, 2014, a 12-5 loss here, and one shy of their most all-time (July 13, 2003, a 13-2 loss)…Rays have a 4-game losing streak at Safeco Field…following this 3-game series, the M’s visit St. Pete for 3 games, Aug 18-20…last year the Rays went 2-4 vs. the M’s, getting swept in 3 games here May 9-11 and taking 2 of 3 games at home, June 14-16…the Rays have not won the season series over Seattle since 2012 (6-4), going 11-16 since then…they are 73-89 (.451) all-time (35-42 home, 38-47 road, 34-40 at Safeco Field). KEVIN KIERMAIER—Last night homered in his third consecutive game, tying the longest streak of his career (June 28-30, 2014), and matched his season high with 3 hits…he has reached base in 10 straight games, batting .395 (15-for-38) with 7 runs scored, 4 2B, 1 3B, 4 HR, 7 RBI, 3 BB and 2 SB over this stretch, to raise his season batting avg. by 30 points (.226 to .256)…6 of his 7 HR this season have come on the road, and all 6 HR on the road have come over his last 12 road games, starting May 13 at BOS. COLBY RASMUS—Twelve of his 22 hits (54.5 pct.) so far have gone for extra bases (4-2B, 1-3B, 7-HR)…has 3 2B, 3 HR and 10 RBI over his last 8 games (6 starts)…since he was reinstated from the DL on May 2 (hip surgery), ranks among team leaders in HR (7, 2nd), RBI (19, 2nd) and SLG (.590, 3rd)…11 of his 19 RBI have come via the home run (5 solo, one 2-run, one grand slam). TIM BECKHAM—Last night matched his career high (2015) with his 9th home run…his 9 HR as a shortstop rank 3rd in the majors behind CLE Francisco Lindor (12) and HOU Carlos Correa (10)…his 27 RBI as a shortstop are tied (with CIN Zack Cozart) for 3rd in the majors, behind Cor- rea (37) and TEX Elvis Andrus (29). COREY KEEPS CRUSHING—OF/DH Corey Dickerson leads the American League batting race with a .342 batting avg., one point ahead of SEA Jean Segura (.341)…only two other qualifiers in Rays history have led the AL in hitting this late in the season (by date): SS Jason Bartlett in 2009 (led AL at .373 through June 6) and OF Matt Joyce in 2011 (led majors at .364 through June 2)…Dickerson leads the AL with 75 hits (tied with COL Charlie Black- mon for major league lead), 25 multi-hit games (1st in majors) and 132 total bases…he is on pace for 213 hits, which would break Aubrey Huff’s club record (198 in 2003)…he ranks among AL leaders with 41 runs scored (2nd), 17 2B (2nd), 2 3B (T-6th), 31 XBH (2nd), .385 OBP (9th) and .603 SLG (3rd). Ê Dickerson, who ranked fourth in the DH balloting in the first AL voting update release by MLB on Tuesday, leads all DHs on the ballot with a .342 avg., 75 hits, 17 2B, 2 3B, 12 HR (tied with SEA Nelson Cruz), 31 XBH, 132 TB, 41 runs, .385 OBP and .603 SLG. Ê Corey owns an 8-game hitting streak…since May 7, he has hit safely in 22 of 24 games, batting .380 (41-for-108) with 13 multi-hit games. Ê Since going 0-for-4 in the first road game of the season (April 10 at NYY), Dickerson has reached base in 25 consecutive road games, batting .387 (41-for-106) over this span…it’s the longest such streak by a Rays player since Evan Longoria’s club-record 38 in 2012-13.

Ê LAST START—On Sun at MIN, his only run allowed was a 3rd-inning RBI double by Joe Mauer, but his 5 IP matched his shortest start of the season (3rd time, last April 26 at BAL)…allowed at least one baserun-ner in every inning, as the 4th inning ended with a 2-6-2 CS of home and he escaped a bases-loaded, 1-out jam in the 5th with consecutive strikeouts to end his start…left with a 3-1 lead in the Rays 8-6, 15-in-ning win…his line: ND, 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 SO, 102 pit, 60 str.

Ê THE TURNAROUND—Is 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA (44.2-IP, 15-ER) over his last 7 starts (since April 26), compared to 1-2 with a 4.88 ERA (24-IP, 13-ER) through his first 4 starts this season…in May, established a career high for innings in a calendar month (39.2)…since the begin-ning of May, his .214 opp avg. ranks 7th in the AL (min. 25 IP).

Ê OFF-AND-ON—Has yielded 4 runs or more in half of his 16 starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, compared to 20 of 81 ca-reer starts (24.7 pct.) before it…this includes 5 of his 11 starts this sea-son…in each of the last two instances, the fourth run scored against him in the 7th inning or later (May 23 vs. LAA, May 12 at BOS)…the first three times came in consecutive starts from April 10-21.

Ê PITCH SELECTION—In his career, has thrown 32.4 percent change-ups, which leads the majors since his rookie season of 2011 (min. 500 IP), ahead of Jorge de la Rosa (30.9 pct.)…see chart for pitch distribution before and after Tommy John sur-gery…has thrown his changeup a career-low 15.2 percent of the time this season and has only thrown it 20 times in 428 pitches over his last 4 starts (4.7 pct.).

Ê Opponents are batting .380 (19-for-50) with 9 SO in at-bats end-ing with the changeup this season…prior to Tommy John sur-gery, they hit .206 (188-for-913) in at-bats ending with the pitch.
