RAY MATTER—The Rays are 6-1 in their last 7 games, coinciding with the start of a 9-game homestand against the Yankees (3-0), Nationals (2-0) and Astros (1-1)…this stretch has brought the Rays to within a game of .500, and today they have a chance to return to .500 for the first time since the end of play on June 1 (28-28)…the Rays are 8-3 in their last 11 games, all against the Yankees, Nationals and Astros—they were 11-29 (.275) against teams currently .500 or better before this…this series is the last of a stretch of 29 out of 32 games against teams currently .500 or better. Ê Since June 11, the Rays are 9-1 at home and have outscored op- ponents, 41-15, over this stretch…the Rays have allowed 2 runs or fewer in eight of their last 10 games here…they have also allowed 1 run or fewer in seven of the 10 games, including four shutouts. Ê A split over the remaining 2 games on the homestand would give the Rays their best 3-series homestand since July 5-14, 2013 (9-1). Ê Through April 17, the Rays were 4-13 overall and 2-7 at home… since then, they are 36-28 (.563) overall and 19-10 (.655) at home. Ê After this series, all 16 games from July 2-22 are against teams cur- rently under .500, as well as 29 of 35 games from July 2–Aug 12. Ê The Rays are in 3rd place in the AL East and have been alone or tied for 3rd in the division for 40 of the last 43 days since May 18. PITCHING PROPERLY—Over their last 4 games, the Rays have pitched to a 0.75 ERA (36-IP, 3-R/ER)…all 3 runs allowed over that span have come via the home run (Jake Marisnick solo, Alex Bregman 2-run)…the Rays have allowed 2 runs or fewer in four consecutive games for the first time since April 15-19, 2016 vs. CWS, at BOS (4)…for the record, only once in club history have they allowed 2 runs or fewer in five consecutive games: May 12-16, 2008 vs. NYY, at STL…the Rays have allowed 3 runs in their last 40 IP, starting with the 9th inning on Sun vs. NYY…in the 7 games on this homestand, the Rays have pitched to a 1.36 ERA (66-IP, 10-ER). Ê The Rays have 6 shutouts this season, tied for 3rd-most in the AL, with all of them coming since May 28 at OAK and half of them coming on this homestand (June 23 vs. NYY, Mon-Tues at WAS). FROM THE OTHER SIDE—All 3 runs scored by the Rays in last night’s win came in the 4th inning, snapping a scoreless streak at 19 innings… the Rays have been blanked in 23 of their last 24 trips to the plate, start- ing with the 2nd inning on Tues vs. WAS…last night was the ninth time the Rays won this season when scoring 3 runs or fewer, tied for 4th-most in the AL, and tied for their 3rd-most in club history through 81 games… the Rays scored 11 runs on 12 hits on Mon vs. WAS, but since then have totaled only 4 runs on 16 hits over their last 3 games. CLOSE SHAVES—43.2 pct. of Rays games have been decided by 1 run, compared to 27.8 pct. of games in the majors…the Rays are 15-20 (.429) in 1-run games, including 5-1 in their last six 1-run games…the 35 1-run games are 2nd in the majors to the Mariners (36) and the 20 1-run losses are most in the majors, ahead of the White Sox (17)…74.1 pct. of Rays games have either been wins or 1-run losses…48.8 pct. of their losses have come by a 1-run margin, 2nd-highest rate in the majors (Astros, 51.7 pct.). Ê The Rays are on pace for 40 1-run losses, which hasn’t been done since the 1992 Dodgers (40) or by an AL club since the 1968 White Sox (44)…the club record for 1-run losses in a season is 30 (2015). Ê The Rays haven’t lost by more than 1 run at home since May 25. Ê The Rays have played six 1-0 games this season, most in the majors and already tied for their 2nd-most in a single season (2014, 10). Ê Since 2016, the Rays are 49-71 (.408) in 1-run games. RAYS vs. ASTROS—The Rays are 30-21 (.588) all-time against the Astros (13-8 at home, 17-13 on the road), including 24-15 (.615) since the Astros joined the AL in 2013…today is the sixth of 7 games between the clubs this season, all in the span of 14 days, as the Rays went 1-2 at Minute Maid Park from June 18-20…the Rays won the season series, 4-3, last year, and haven’t lost a season series to them since 2008 (1-2)…since then, they have gone 6-0-1 in the last seven season series (did not meet in 2009 or 2012). Ê The Rays (8, 6, 5, 5) and Astros (12, 6, 5, 5) are the only teams with four separate winning streaks of 5 games or more this season. Ê Since 2013, the Rays have shut out the Astros nine times in 39 games…no team has shut them out more often over that span— next is the Rangers, who have done it seven times in 109 games. STREAK STOPPERS—Last night’s win snapped the Astros 11-game road winning streak, the longest road winning streak ever snapped by the Rays…previous high was the Yankees 10-game road winning streak span- ning the 2002-03 seasons…less than two weeks ago, the Rays snapped the Astros 12-game winning streak—the longest winning streak ever snapped by the Rays…they had previously spoiled 11-game streaks on June 16, 2009 at COL (12-4 win) and June 24, 2013 vs. TOR (4-1 win). PITCHING PLANS—Today’s game will be started by Ryne Stanek, his sec- ond start in 3 games (also Thurs vs. HOU)…it will be the 15th time the Rays use an “opener,” all since May 19, as well as the ninth time overall and seventh consecutive time they use Stanek in that role…Stanek has pitched to a 1.54 ERA (11.2-IP, 2-ER) in his 8 starts, while other Rays “open- ers” have pitched to a 16.20 ERA (5-IP, 9-ER) in 6 starts…while the Rays are 5-9 in games started by openers, the team has pitched to a 3.55 ERA (124.1-IP, 49-ER) in these games—and pitchers following the opener have a 3.18 ERA (107.2-IP, 38-ER)…since the debut of the “opener” on May 19, Rays pitchers lead the majors with a 2.79 ERA (341.1-IP, 106-ER). REDEFINING RELIEF—So far this season, Rays relievers have totaled: Ê 27 apps of at least 50 pitches, most in the majors, ahead of the Mar- lins (12), and their most for a season since 2003 (29) Ê 13 apps of at least 70 pitches, most in the majors, ahead of the Mar- lins (7), and their most for any season in club history (2004, 7) Ê 56 apps of at least 2 IP, most in the majors (Padres, 52) Ê 29 apps of at least 3 IP, most in the majors (Padres, 13) Ê 19 apps of at least 4 IP, most in the majors (Marlins, 7) Ê Rays relievers lead the majors with 360.1 IP, most in the majors by 34.1 IP (Marlins, 326 IP) and most in the AL by 50.2 IP (Angels, 309.2 IP)…Rays starters have covered 363.1 IP, fewest in the majors, while Astros starters have covered 524.2 IP, most in the majors. HEALTHIER HALFWAY THROUGH—Through the halfway point, the Rays have a steep decline in time missed on the disabled list compared to last year…in fact, through 81 games they have missed fewer games on the disabled list than any season in Kevin Cash’s four-year tenure. AROUND THE LEAGUE—With INF/OF Steve Pearce making his Red Sox debut last night, he became the second player to appear in a game for all five current AL East franchises, joining INF/OF Kelly Johnson…Pearce spent four months with the Rays in 2016 before being traded to the Ori- oles for C Jonah Heim…Heim was also the player to be named in the De- cember 2017 trade with the Athletics for INF Joey Wendle. IN THE COMMUNITY—All Rays players and coaches on Tuesday attend- ed the second annual “Rays the Ante” Casino Night & Auction, held at The Coliseum in downtown St. Pete…the event raised over $150,000 net to benefit the Rays Baseball Foundation and Tampa General Hospital.

Ê Hasn’t allowed a run in 10 apps (5 starts) at home this season (12.2 IP).

vs. HOUSTON—Has made 3 apps (2 start) in his career against the Astros, all this sea-son, and he hasn’t allowed a hit or run in 4.1 IP…on Thurs vs. HOU, pitched around a 2-out walk for a scoreless 1st inning, and was replaced after a 2-out walk in the 2nd inning, with Ryan Yarbrough stranding the inherited runner…in his 2 apps (1 start) at Minute Maid Park on the last road trip, he combined to retire all 8 BF.

A NEW LOOK—Will be making the 9th start of his career, all since May 26, includ-ing his 2nd start in a span of 3 games and 5th start (and 7th app) in the club’s last 13 games since June 16…this will be the 15th time the Rays use an “opener,” all since May 19, as well as the seventh consecutive time they use Stanek in that role…he has pitched to a 1.54 ERA (11.2-IP, 2-ER) in his 8 starts, while other Rays “openers” have pitched to a 16.20 ERA (5-IP, 9-ER) in 6 starts…he has gone 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.0 and 1.2 IP in his starts, with 5, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5 and 7 BF, respectively…he started 41 games in the minors, most recently on June 4, 2016 at Double-A Jacksonville (Marlins).

Ê Hasn’t gone more than 2 IP or thrown more than 40 pitches this season, al-though his career high is 47 pitches on Aug 5, 2017 vs. MIL.

JUNE BOOM—With today’s start, he will become the first pitcher in the majors to make at least 12 apps and 7 starts within a single calendar month since PHI Karl Drews (12 apps, 7 starts) in June 1953 and the first AL pitcher since Jim Walkup (14 apps, 7 starts) of the St. Louis Browns in August 1935…he has a chance to become the first pitcher to ever do this in a calendar month without allowing a run.

QUIRKS OF THE “OPENER”—His last 6 starts have been scoreless, tied for the lon-gest such streak since Baseball Reference is available (1908)…has made 4 starts with-out allowing a hit, the most for any pitcher in a single season since Baseball Reference data is available (1908).
