THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 at BALTIMORE ORIOLESLH Blake Snell (5-8, 3.62) vs. RH Yovani Gallardo (5-7, 5.44)

RAY MATTER—The Rays 8-1 yesterday at Toronto gives them a 3-4 record on this season-long 11-game road trip (1-3 at Yankee Stadium and 2-1 at Rogers Centre)…in taking 2 of 3 vs. the Blue Jays, the Rays earned their first series win on the road since July 18-20 at COL and their first in an AL enemy port since June 2-5 at MIN…the Rays have homered in all 7 games on the road trip (16 homers overall, accounting for 21 of their 30 runs scored in the 7 games)…the Rays have won 3 of their last 4 games and are looking to win 3 straight games for the first time in a month (Aug 14-17, when they won 4 straight)…Rays are 28-27 since July 17, including 17-10 at home and 11-17 on the road…Rays need to go 11-6 in their remaining 17 games to avoid their first 90-loss season since 2007.

FOR THE BIRDS—Yesterday, the Rays finished the season with a league-high 11 wins against the Blue Jays (11-8)…they have a league-high 11 losses (4-11) vs. the Orioles…the Rays are the only AL East team with a winning record against the Jays…the Rays went 6-3 at Rogers Centre and won 4 games by 7-plus runs.

RAYS SET CLUB HOME RUN RECORD—With 9 HR in the last 4 games, the Rays have now hit 200 this season shattering the club HR record of 199 held by the 2009 Rays…the Mets hit their 200th home run on Tues-day night—their first 200-homer season as well—leaving four major league teams who have never hit 200: Royals, Padres, Nationals and Pirates…the Rays have hit 28 HR in their last 15 games and 53 in their last 31 (16-15) since Aug 13…only one major league team has hit more during that span: the Orioles with 58…the Rays are 5th in the majors in HR, but rank 22nd in runs scored.

SPREADING IT AROUND—The Rays 16 home runs on the road trip have been hit by nine different Rays, accounting for all nine spots in the batting order and all nine defensive positions (plus DH).

ALEX WAS GREAT—Yesterday at Toronto, RH Alex Cobb earned his first win since returning from 2015 Tommy John surgery earlier this month…it had been 722 days since his last win: Sep 23, 2014 at BOS…in doing so, he became the first pitcher this season to pitch into the 7th inning or later and allow 2 hits or less vs. the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre…the last five pitchers to accomplish that feat are Rays pitchers, starting with LH Drew Smyly in 2014…Alex is one 13 pitchers to return to the major leagues this season af-ter undergoing Tommy John surgery…teammate RH Chase Whitley, who made his return on Sunday at NYY, is one of those.

E-WORD—Should the Rays lose tonight or the Blue Jays win, they would be eliminated from postseason contention…they were eliminated on Sep 27 last season with 6 games remaining and on Sep 19, 2014 with 8 games left…this will be the earliest the Rays have been eliminated since 2007 (Sep 8 after 142 games).

RAYS vs. ORIOLES—This is the final series of the season betweeen these two teams…Rays are 0-6 at Oriole Park at Caamden Yards and have been outscored 42-18…Rays have lost 7 straight at Baltimore since their last win, 11-2 on Sep 1, 2015…overall, the Rays have lost 9 of the last 11 and are 4-11 this season…Rays have hit .228, including .170 (16-for-94) with run-ners in scoring position…this is the third straight year the Rays have lost the season series to the Orioles…they were 7-12 in 2014 and 9-10 in 2015…Rays trail all-time 169-161.

LONGO AND THE CHARM CITY—3B Evan Longoria has hit 17 home runs at Camden Yards, all while playing 3B…since the Orioles moved to-Baltimore from St. Louis in 1954, no opposing third baseman has hit more homers in the Charm City…of Longoria’s 32 career home runs vs. the O’s, 31 have come while playing 3B…only one third basemen all-time has hit more vs. BAL: Alex Rodriguez (32).

BROOKS’ TOWN—3B Evan Longoria comes to Baltimore tonight havingplayed in 1,187 games at third base…he’s made 102 errors, which is 12 fewer errors than 16-time Gold Glove winner and Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson had after the same number of games made at the same point of his career.

SINCE THE BREAK—Since the All-Star break, the Rays hold the majors’ 3rd-best run differential at +50, behind the Red Sox (+103) and Cubs (+95), but are 28-29 (.491)…Rays were 34-54 (.386) in the first half with an AL-worst -74 run differential…the Rays 3.59 ERA is 4th in the majors since the break…they were 24th in ERA (4.57) the first half.

DICKERSON, PENCE MAJORS’ HOTTEST THE PAST WEEK—Over the past week (Sep 7-14), OF/DH Corey Dickerson has gone 15-for-27 (.556), best avg. in the AL and matching SF Hunter Pence for 1st the majors…he has 16 hits in his last 28 AB and has hit safely in his last 8 games, 4 shy of his career high…has multiple hits in 6 straight starts, the first Ray to do that since SS Asdrubal Cabrera from Aug 2-8, 2015 (6).

CATCH HIM IF YOU CAN—CF Kevin Kiermaier has been successful on his last 16 stolen base attempts, tied for the 2nd-longest current streak this season according to the Elias Sports Bureau…he has not been thrown out since April 23 at NYY by Brian McCann…overall, this season he has been successful on 18 of 20 attempts, a rate of 90.0 pct., tops in the majors and currently the 2nd-best pct. in club history (min. 20 attempts) behind Des-mond Jennings’ mark of 93.9 (31 of 33) in 2012.

RIGHT IN THE THICK OF IT—The Rays are 26 games through a stretch of 36 consecutive games vs. teams not only above .500, but within 4.0 games of a postseason berth (at the time the Rays played them and currently)…they are 12-14 so far…their only remaining series vs. a current sub-.500 team is Sep 26-29 at CWS.

TOUGHEST SCHEDULE IN 25 YEARS?—The Rays have played a MLB-most 112 games vs. teams currently at .500 or better, and are 43-69 (.384) in those games…in contrast, the Rays are 19-14 (.576) vs. teams currently under .500…if the standings remain as they are, they would finish the sea-son with 125 games vs. clubs .500 or better, the most since eight teams played 126 such games in 1991.

MILLER AMONG MOST IMPROVED—1B/SS Brad Miller hit his 28th home run of the season Monday, 17 more than his prev. career high (11 in 2016) and one shy of matching his entire career total prior to this season…only two players with a minimum of 100 games played in each season have shown greater improvement from 2015 to 2016 than Miller (+17) and both play for Arizona: Jake Lamb (+22) and Yasmany Tomas (+20).

LONGO ONE SHY OF CAREER HIGH—Evan Longoria connected for his 32nd home run of the season on Monday at TOR, one shy of his career high (33 in 2009)…five Rays have already reached their career high…Steven Souza Jr. hit his career-high 17th HR Tuesday night…Brad Miller (28), Logan Forsythe (19), Bobby Wilson (6) and Kevin Kiermaier (12) also have career highs.

THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY—September 15, 2014…The Rays defeat the Yankees, 1-0, on Ben Zobrist’s two-out single in the bottom of the 9th inning…it was just the Rays third 1-0, walk-off win…it was also Zobrist’s fifth walk-off hit for the Rays and his last…the Rays had only 2 hits through 8 innings off LH Chris Capuano and RH Adam Warren before bunching 3 hits and a walk in the 9th off RH Shawn Kelley…RH Alex Colome and four relievers blanked the Yankees on 5 hits.

ARCHER-JONES HOST BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB—Prior to today’s game, RH Chris Archer and Orioles CF Adam Jones—both candidates for the 2016 Roberto Clemente Award—will meet with kids a group from the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore in auxiliary clubhouse at Camden Yards at 5 p.m. …since 2015, Arch has visited and delivered motivational messages to kids in Arlington, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Oakland, Philadelphia and Toronto.

SPEAKING OF ARCHER—Tomorrow’s starter, RH Chris Archer, leads the AL with 217 SO…he also has a major-league-high 18 losses, tying the club record set by RH Tanyon Sturtze in 2002…in major league history, there have been only 12 pitchers to lead their league in strikeouts and lose 18 or more games…of those 12 pitchers, 8 are in the Hall of Fame: most recently was ATL Phil Niekro in 1986…also CAL Nolan Ryan in 1976, BOS-NL Warren Spahn in 1952, STL Dizzy Dean in 1933; WAS Walter Johnson in 1914 and 1916, CWS Ed Walsh in 1910, PHI Rube Waddell in 1904 and BOS-NL Vic Willis in 1902.

the only AL pitcher to ever finish the season leading the league in both strikeouts and losses.

Ê STRIKEOUTS—Leads the AL with 217 SO, ahead of DET Justin Verlander (216)…has 49 SO in 38.2 IP over his last 6 starts, a 11.41 SO/9 IP ratio over that span (since Aug 12)…has reached double-digit strikeouts 6 times this season, one shy of AL leader BOS David Price (7)…has done it 15 times since the start of 2015, one shy of CWS Chris Sale (16) for the most in the AL over the last two seasons.

Ê PITCHING DEEPER—Has gone at least 7 IP in 6 of his 11 starts since the break, compared to only twice in 19 starts during the first half…has also gone at least 6 IP in 11 of his last 12 starts, including a streak of 8 straight from July 8–Aug 17…has done this in 18 of his last 20 starts, compared to 4 times in his first 10 starts.

Ê HELP WANTED—Has received more than 3 runs of support only 4 times in his 16 starts this season…has received 5.03 R/9 IP of run sup-port (77-IP, 43-RS), a number heavily inflated by starts of 12 and 10 runs of support…has had 7 starts with no run support…has received a total of 3 runs of support in his 8 losses, 37 runs in his 5 wins and 3 runs in his 3 ND.

Ê Since Aug 15, has allowed run(s) in 7 of 12 apps for an 8.71 ERA (10.1-IP, 10-ER)…it follows a 1.13 ERA (8-IP, 1-ER) in his first 12 apps with TB. Ê His 12 HR allowed rank T-2nd among AL relievers…his allowed 17 HR since 2015, compared to 16 HR in parts of 7 seasons with LAA (2008-14). Ê Is the fourth pitcher to have two separate stints with the Rays, returning after pitching for another organization in between…he joined Dan Wheeler,

Trever Miller and Grant Balfour…he signed with the Rays on July 15, two days after being released by the Twins (DFA’ed by MIN on July 3).

#58 JUSTIN MARKS, LH Last App: 9/9 at NYY (3.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 5-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .000 (0-3)2016: 0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G Long Relief App: 3.0, 9/9 at NYY IR-RS: -- vs. RH: .000 (0-6)

Ê Made his second career app on Fri at NYY, first since April 20, 2014 vs. MIN (with KC)—he went 872 days in between major league apps…yielded 5 BB, tying the club record for a reliever (11th time), but was their first to do so without allowing a run since Victor Zambrano on June 14, 2002 at FLA.

Ê Went 7-11 with a 3.86 ERA (140-IP, 60-ER) in 25 apps (23 starts) with Triple-A Durham…had a 9-inning no-hitter on July 16 at Syracuse (130 pit.). Ê Was selected to the active roster on Sep 6 as Hank Conger was designated for assignment…accumulated 4 days’ service time with the Royals in

2014 and made his major league debut on April 20, 2014 vs. MIN…this spring he told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that the Royals sent him two framed shadow boxes of memorabilia—jersey, lineup cards, game balls, tickets—plus a partial playoff share and an AL champions ring.

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 9/13 at TOR (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-5 vs. LH: .301 (34-113), 7-HR2016: 7-11-1, 3.80 ERA, 58 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 3.0, 8/9 at TOR IR-RS: 30-5 vs. RH: .255 (51-200), 6-HR

eight more than anyone else…his 19 relief apps of 2 IP are tied for the most in the majors and the most by a Ray since J.P. Howell in 2008 (23). Ê Has yielded 13 HR, the most among AL relievers and the most by a Rays reliever since Al Reyes in 2007 (13)…the club record for a reliever is 14. Ê His 11 losses (last Sep 8 at NYY) are a club record for a reliever and the most for a reliever in the majors since LAA Scot Shields in 2005 (11). Ê His 6 wins as a reliever (also won his only start on April 16 vs. CWS) are one shy of the club record for a reliever (last J.P. Howell in 2009).

#45 ENNY ROMERO, LH Last App: 9/10 at NYY (1.0-IP, 2-H, 2-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-2 vs. LH: .267 (16-60), 1-HR2016: 2-0-1, 5.74 ERA, 49 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 4x-last 6/17 vs. SF IR-RS: 22-6 vs. RH: .224 (22-98), 4-HR

#47 CHASE WHITLEY, RH Last App: 9/11 at NYY (2.0-IP, 1-H, 1-R, 0-ER, 1-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .200 (1-5)2016: 0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 9/11 at NYY IR-RS: -- vs. RH: .000 (0-3)

Ê On Sun at NYY made his first app since May 14, 2015 at TB (with NYY)—going 505 days between ML apps (returned from Tommy John surgery)…covered the 6th and 7th innings and his only run allowed was unearned, after an E5 (fielding) extended the 7th leading to a Gardner RBI single.

Ê Became the 13th pitcher to return to the majors this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery…was the second Ray, following RH Alex Cobb. Ê Recalled from Double-A Montgomery on Sep 4…went 2-1 with a 2.21 ERA (36.2-IP, 9-ER) over 9 starts in the minors, including rehab assignment.
