Ê Through Tuesday, the Rays will have faced 11 consecutive RH start- ers…Rays are 34-24 (.586) vs. RH starters, 2nd-best record in the AL behind the Astros (43-17, .717)…they are 9-16 (.360) vs. LH starters, 2nd-worst record in the AL ahead of Toronto (6-13, .316). Ê The Rays are 17-19 vs. AL East foes, and 26-21 outside the division. Ê In extra innings, the Rays are 6-3 and have won 5 straight. BEST POSITION SINCE 2013—With yesterday’s win and Minnesota’s loss, the Rays took control of the second AL Wild Card position…the last time they were positioned for a postseason berth this late in the season (83 games or more) was when they won the Game 163 tiebreaker in Texas to finish the 2013 season…the Rays have been in third place in the AL East for three consecutive weeks after spending only one day of the previous eight weeks in third (end of play May 20). RAYS vs. ORIOLES—Today the Rays will attempt their first sweep of the Orioles since Sep 20-23, 2013 (4 games at home) and first sweep at Cam- den Yards since May 17-19, 2013 (3 games)…yesterday they clinched their first series win over Baltimore since April 25-27, 2016 (won 2 of 3 at home), having gone 0-5-1 in six series in between…this is their first series win at Camden Yards since Aug 31–Sep 2, 2015 (won 2 of 3)…the Rays are 4-4 in the season series (1-2 at home, 3-2 on the road)…the Rays played only 3 of their first 75 games vs. BAL, but face them in 16 of their final 87 games… the Rays lost 2 of 3 games at Camden Yards, April 24-26, and the O’s sat in first place at 14-6 at the end of that series…since the start of 2014, the Rays are 24-36 (.400) after going 66-43 (.606) from 2008-13…last year’s 6-13 mark equaled 2006 for their worst record ever vs. BAL. Ê 3B Evan Longoria has 37 career home runs vs. the Orioles, his most against any opponent (34 vs. NYY)…36 of those have come as a third baseman, more than any other 3B in the Orioles 63-year history, ahead of Alex Rodriguez (32). Ê OF Steven Souza Jr. is a career .400 hitter (22-for-55) with 5 HR and 10 RBI in 14 games at Camden Yards. MASH UNIT—The Rays slugged 4 HR last night, their eighth game this season with at least 4 HR, tying the Orioles and Yankees for most in the majors…this already ranks 3rd in club history behind 2016 (10) and 2006 (9)…the Rays have hit 23 HR in the last 12 games, 39 in the last 22 games, and 78 in the last 43 games…the Rays have hit 127 HR, 2nd in the majors behind the Astros (131)…last year they knocked a club-record 216 HR; this year they are on pace to eclipse that mark by 31 (247)—a mark reached by only six teams in major league history, most recent- ly the 2016 Orioles (253)…the 1997 Mariners hold the record of 264 HR, led by Ken Griffey Jr. (56). RAY-KING RAYS—Through 83 games, their 127 HR are most in club history (prev. 113 in 2016), while their 405 runs scored and 19 triples are their most since 2010 (420-R, 19-3B)…the Rays rank among AL leaders in many other categories (see chart)…the Rays have a .258 avg. on the season, their highest since end of play April 23 (.258)…last time they had a batting avg. this high so late in the season was through Sep 26, 2013 (.258 through 159 games)…the Rays have outscored opponents 270-190 (+80) in innings 1-thru-5, but have been outscored 192-134 after that (-58). B2B DOMINANCE—Yesterday 1B Logan Morrison and RF Steven Sou- za Jr. hit back-to-back homers in the 3rd inning, extending the club record to 11 back-to-back homers this season…no other team has more than 7 this year (Nationals)…since the All-Star Game was born in 1933, the Rays are just the seventh club to hit 11 back-to-back homers before the All-Star break, joining the 1977 Red Sox (13), 2000 White Sox (13), 2000 Cardinals (13), 1996 Mariners (12), 2001 Rangers (11) and 2016 Nationals (11)…3+ consecutive homers counts as one occurrence.

PETEY AT THE PLATE—Yesterday in the 4th inning, LF Shane Peterson doubled off RH Dylan Bundy on the 15th pitch of the at-bat…it tied for the longest plate appearance in the majors this season, matching DET J.D. Martinez on June 29 vs. KC (single off Kevin McCarthy)…since Baseball Reference pitch data is complete (1999), it tied for the longest PA by any Ray (sixth time, last Asdrubal Cabrera (Aug 15, 2015 at TEX, lineout vs. RH Colby Lewis)…only one other Ray recorded a hit in a 15-pitch PA: Jonny Gomes homered on June 28, 2008 at PIT off LH Damaso Marte. WILSON RAMOS—Has homered in each of the last 2 games, his first time going deep in consecutive games since last Aug 2 at ARI and Aug 5 vs. SF (with Nationals)…it’s the first time he’s homered in back-to-back days since Sep 14-15, 2014 at NYM/ATL, also with the Nationals…all 6 of his RBI have come over the last 3 games…the Rays already have 14 HR (T- 6th in majors) and 49 RBI (T-4th in majors) from their catchers this season, compared to 18 HR and 55 RBI (4th fewest in majors) last season…from 2008-16, the Rays ranked last in the majors with 512 RBI from their catch- ers, and Rays catchers have ranked among the majors’ bottom 10 in RBI for each of the last 8 years. NEXT UP: WRIGLEY FIELD—The Rays are 3-2 on this 8-game, 10-day road trip (1-2 at PIT, 2-0 here)…after today’s game, the Rays finish the trip with a 2-game series at Wrigley Field, Tue–Wed…tomorrow will be their sixth and final off-day in a span of 39 days leading up to the All-Star break, after only one off-day in the month of May…this will be the only the fourth meeting between the Rays and Cubs; the Rays are 6-3 all-time (3-0 home, 3-3 at Wrigley)…this will be their first time facing Joe Maddon since his de- parture from the Rays…other former Rays with the Cubs include UTL Ben Zobrist, RH Wade Davis, LH Mike Montgomery (minor leaguer) and bench coach Dave Martinez…their last visit to Wrigley came in 2014, when they won 2 of 3 games but lost the finale on a walk-off single by Anthony Rizzo in the 12th after blowing two leads…the Cubs will visit St. Pete, Sep 19-20. Ê On Tue–Wed, the Rays will face RH John Lackey and LH Jon Les- ter, respectively—two veterans they’ve faced more than 20 times but neither one since July 25-26, 2014 when they were Red Sox team- mates…the Rays won both of those games at Tropicana Field, 6-4 over Lester and 3-0 over Lackey…lifetime vs. the Rays, Lackey is 13-8 with a 4.00 ERA in 24 GS and Lester is 13-9, 4.08 in 28 GS.

TODAY’S STARTER—RH ALEX COBB (6-5, 3.73)

Ê LAST START—On Tue at PIT, had a no-hitter through 6 IP, the longest no-hit bid by a Ray since Jake Odorizzi on May 29, 2016 vs. NYY (6.1)…retired his first 10 BF and 18 of his first 19 BF…both hits allowed came in the 7th, consecutive singles by Josh Harrison and Andrew McCutchen to start the inning—got out of it with a 5-4-3 DP and 5-3 groundout…had his first scoreless start of 8 IP or more since April 24, 2013 vs. NYY (8.1)…got no-decision after Alex Colomé’s blown save in the 9th…his line: ND, 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 SO, 98 pit, 66 str.

Ê Is one of four pitchers this season to go 8+ IP, allow 2 hits or fewer and no runs and not get the win: the others: STL Carlos Martinez on May 20 vs. SF, OAK Jesse Hahn on April 25 at LAA and KC Ian Kennedy on April 16 vs. LAA…was the sev-enth instance of this in franchise history, first since Drew Smyly on April 19, 2016 at BOS (8-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 2-BB, 11-SO).

Ê LAST FOUR—Is 2-0 with a 1.63 ERA (27.2-IP, 5-ER) over his last 4 starts…this comes on the heels of allowing career highs in hits (14) and runs (9) on June 3 at SEA…min. 20 IP, since June 4, his 1.63 ERA ranks 4th in the majors—and 2nd in the AL—behind WAS Max Scher-zer (0.99), CLE Corey Kluber (1.46) and ATL Sean Newcomb (1.48).

Ê Has made 4 straight starts of 6 IP (or more) and 2 ER (or fewer), matching the longest such streak of his career…also did it from May 16–June 5, 2013, prior to Tommy John surgery…is the first Ray to do this without allowing a home run over that same stretch since Chris Archer from May 23–June 8, 2014 (4).

Ê His streak of 4 straight starts without a homer is his longest since he went a club-record 12 straight from July 23–Sep 23, 2014.

Ê Has a 12-inning scoreless streak, dating back to the 4th inning on June 20 vs. CIN.

Ê DON’T RUSH ME—Averages 27.2 seconds between pitches, per FanGraphs, the slowest working starter in the majors…as a team, the Rays average 25.8 seconds between pitches, highest in the majors.

Ê THE WIN COLUMN—Is attempting to win a third consecutive decision for the first time since Sep 16-26, 2013…his 6 wins are tied with Chris Archer for the team lead and are tied for a career high before the All-Star break (also 2013).

Ê A.L. LEADERS—Ranks among AL leaders in innings (101.1, 8th) and HR/9 IP (0.89, 5th)…has allowed 105 hits, 6th most in the AL.
