THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 at NEW YORK YANKEES RH Jake Faria (5-4, 3.33) vs. RH Sonny Gray (10-11, 3.31) SIX YEARS AGO—On Sep 28, 2011, the Rays came back from a 7-0 defi- cit in the 8th inning and went on to win, 8-7, on Evan Longoria’s walk-off homer in the 12th, clinching the AL Wild Card…the win caps a 9.0-game comeback in the Wild Card standings that began on Sep 4—the largest deficit overcome by a team in September to make the playoffs. Ê The 7-run comeback remains tied for the Rays largest ever at Tropi- cana Field…with the Rays down to their final strike of the season, Dan Johnson delivers a pinch-hit homer to tie the game. Ê Minutes after the Red Sox lose in Baltimore, Longoria hit his walk-off homer…he became the second player in major league history to hit a walk-off homer in the last game of the regular season to send their team to the playoffs, joining Bobby Thomson with his “Shot Heard ’Round the World” for the New York Giants in 1951. 4 TO GO—Last night’s loss means the Rays can finish no better than 80-82, their fourth consecutive season with a losing record…prior to this, the Rays had a streak of six straight winning seasons from 2008-13, including four postseason appearances…prior to becoming the Rays in 2008, the fran- chise had 10 straight losing seasons as the Devil Rays from 1998–2007. Ê The Rays would need to win out to match Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager (80-82, 2015)…the Rays are 1.5 games ahead of the Orioles and Blue Jays for third place in the AL East, which would be their highest finish since 2013 (2nd). RAY MATTER—The Rays are a season-high 6 games under .500…they have lost 3 consecutive games and are looking to avoid a fourth straight loss for the first time since Aug 16-19 at TOR, vs. SEA (4)…they are 2-4 on this 7-game road trip (2-2 at BAL, 0-2 at NYY) and are 6-12 in their last 18 games since Sep 6, on the heels of a 10-5 stretch (Aug 20–Sep 5)…last night’s loss dropped the Rays to 1-5-2 in series play in Sep, after winning their previous three series from Aug 22-30 (vs. TOR, at STL, at KC)…the Rays are 31-41 (.431) within the AL East, including 13-25 (.342) at oppos- ing AL East stadiums…they are 45-41 (.523) in games outside the division. ROUGH PATCH—The Rays have allowed at least 6 runs in 4 consecu- tive games, matching their longest such streak (10th time) in the Rays era (since 2008)—they haven’t allowed 6 runs (or more) in 5 straight games since they were known as the Devil Rays, from Sep 8-14, 2006 (6 straight). Ê The 6th inning last night marked the fourth time in the last 4 games the Rays allowed 4 runs (or more) in a frame…they only had four in- nings of this type in their previous 29 games from Aug 20–Sep 22… it also marked the second time this season the Rays allowed 3 HR in a single inning (also Aug 23 vs. TOR, 2nd inning). THE E-WORD—The Rays were eliminated from postseason contention with Tuesday’s loss…this marks the third time the Rays were eliminated from postseason contention in the final week of the regular season: also Sep 27, 2015 with 6 games remaining and Oct 1, 2012 with 2 games re- maining…including the remaining 4 games this season, since becoming the Rays in 2008, the club will have played a total of 48 games in which they were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention…of those 48 games, 16 came last season when they were eliminated on Sep 15. Ê The Rays high-water mark of the season was 7 games over .500, when they were 51-44 through July 18 and had a 44.2 pct. chance of reaching the postseason, according to FanGraphs. BEFORE & AFTER—A comparison of team stats and AL ranks before and after July 18 at OAK, when they were a season-high 7 games over .500: R/G Rank ERA Rank Starter ERA Bullpen ERA Thru July 18 4.69 8th 4.09 5th 3.95 2nd 4.33 11th Since July 18 3.53 Last 3.91 4th 4.50 T-6th 3.05 4th Ê The Rays lost 5 straight games after reaching their high-water mark of 51-44…the Rays had multi-run leads in the first 4 games of this 5-game losing streak…this stretch alone cut the Rays chances at the postseason in half, per FanGraphs (from 44.2 pct. to 20.4). Ê Since July 18, the Rays are 26-38 (.406)—the 3rd-worst winning pct. in the AL, ahead of Chicago (27-41, .397) and Detroit (20-47, .299). POWER BALL—The Rays have a club-record 221 HR this season, which is tied for 7th in the majors…their 119 HR on the road are a club record and 2nd in the majors behind the Mets (120)…excluding rookies, the Rays have seven players on their active roster who have either tied or established a career high in home runs: Logan Morrison (37), Lucas Duda (30, ties career high), Steven Souza Jr. (30), Corey Dickerson (26), Kevin Kier- maier (15), Adeiny Hechavarria (8) and Jesús Sucre (7). Ê There are 36 players in the majors with at least 30 HR, but only three teams with three of those players on their roster…the Rays (Morrison, Duda and Souza Jr.) are joined by the Indians (Edwin En- carnación–38, Jay Bruce–34 and Francisco Lindor–33) and Reds (Joey Votto–36, Adam Duvall–31 and Scott Schebler–30). Ê The Rays have hit 7 HR in extra innings, tying the club record (2008). Ê The Rays have a franchise-record 26 HR from their catchers. Ê The Rays have hit 10 leadoff home runs, a club record and tied for 3rd in the majors (SEA–16, TEX–11, NYY–10). K’s FOR DAYS—The Rays offense has a club-record 1,508 SO this sea- son, ahead of their 1,482 SO in 2016…their strikeout total is currently the 2nd-highest in AL history behind the 2013 Astros (1,535)…it ranks 2nd in the majors to Milwaukee (1,537)—and both the Brewers and Rays are on pace to surpass the major league strikeout record set by the 2016 Brewers (1,543)…Major League Baseball has broken its own strikeout record for a 10th consecutive season; MLB totaled a then-record 38,982 in 2016 and is on pace for more than 40,000 this year (39,168 currently). RAYS vs. YANKEES—The Rays are 6-12 against the Yankees this season, having gone 1-8 at Yankee Stadium and 5-4 at home (4-2 at Tropicana Field, 1-2 at Citi Field)…this is the Rays third straight losing season against the Yankees (8-11 in 2016, 7-12 in 2015)…the Rays are 7-23 (.233) at Yan- kee Stadium dating back to Sep 10, 2014 and have lost 10 consecutive series here, the longest streak by any team in the current building. Ê The Rays can finish no better than 2-8 at Yankee Stadium…they haven’t finished a season with 2 wins or fewer here since 2006 (2-7) and haven’t finished with 1 win or fewer here since 2004 (0-10). LONGO LOVES NEW YORK—3B Evan Longoria leads all active players with 104 RBI against the Yankees, ahead of José Bautista (83), Chris Davis (83) and Adam Jones (83), and his 35 HR are 2nd among actives behind Bautista (36)…of those 35 HR, 33 have come as a third baseman, a mark surpassed only by Hall of Famer BAL Brooks Robinson (34) in base- ball history…Longoria has done this in 167 games over 10 seasons; Robin- son did it in 328 games over 23 seasons…Longo has 13 career game-win- ning RBI against the Yankees, most among actives, ahead of Jones (12). Ê Longoria has 82 hits and 48 RBI in his career at new Yankee Sta- dium, most of any visiting player…his 16 HR are tied with Edwin Encarnacion for 2nd most among visitors behind Bautista (18). LONGO-GEVITY—3B Evan Longoria needs one more home run to achieve a fifth consecutive season of at least 20 HR…it would also give him nine 20-HR seasons in his first 10 seasons in the majors, a feat achieved by only one third baseman in major league history: Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews did it in each of his first 14 seasons, from 1952-65…also of note, only one AL third baseman has had nine 20-HR seasons at any point in his career: Graig Nettles (10)…TEX Adrián Beltré, who has 17 HR currently, is also pursuing a ninth 20-HR season as an AL third baseman. Ê Longoria’s next home run would give the Rays four players with 20 HR this season with the club…he would join Logan Morrison, Ste- ven Souza Jr. and Corey Dickerson…only once in franchise history have the Rays had four players with 20-HR seasons (2016). HEADING HOME—The Rays return home to begin a 3-game series with the Orioles tomorrow, the last series of the season…the Rays split a 4-game series in Baltimore last weekend and are 8-8 in the season series (3-3 at home, 5-5 on the road)…the Rays are seeking their first season series win over Baltimore since 2013 (13-6), after going 22-35 (.386) from 2014-16. SEEKING LENGTH—Rays starters have gone less than 6 IP (i.e. 5.2 IP or fewer) in 15 of their 23 games since the beginning of September…the start- ers rank 10th in the AL this month with a 4.98 ERA (106.2-IP, 59-ER), which would be their highest in a calendar month since June 2010 (5.08)…also this month, Rays starters have covered fewer innings than any other team in the majors (Angels, 111.2 IP). ADEINY HECHAVARRIA—Extended his career high last night with his eighth home run, the Rays only run of the game…has 8 HR in 321 AB this season, a rate of 40.1 AB/HR…his 8 HR match his total from 978 AB over the previous two seasons combined (122.2 AB/HR in 2015-16).

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 at NEW YORK YANKEESRH Jake Faria (5-4, 3.33) vs. RH Sonny Gray (10-11, 3.31)

SIX YEARS AGO—On Sep 28, 2011, the Rays came back from a 7-0 defi-cit in the 8th inning and went on to win, 8-7, on Evan Longoria’s walk-off homer in the 12th, clinching the AL Wild Card…the win caps a 9.0-game comeback in the Wild Card standings that began on Sep 4—the largest deficit overcome by a team in September to make the playoffs.

Ê The 7-run comeback remains tied for the Rays largest ever at Tropi-cana Field…with the Rays down to their final strike of the season, Dan Johnson delivers a pinch-hit homer to tie the game.

Ê Minutes after the Red Sox lose in Baltimore, Longoria hit his walk-off homer…he became the second player in major league history to hit a walk-off homer in the last game of the regular season to send their team to the playoffs, joining Bobby Thomson with his “Shot Heard ’Round the World” for the New York Giants in 1951.

4 TO GO—Last night’s loss means the Rays can finish no better than 80-82, their fourth consecutive season with a losing record…prior to this, the Rays had a streak of six straight winning seasons from 2008-13, including four postseason appearances…prior to becoming the Rays in 2008, the fran-chise had 10 straight losing seasons as the Devil Rays from 1998–2007.

Ê The Rays would need to win out to match Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager (80-82, 2015)…the Rays are 1.5 games ahead of the Orioles and Blue Jays for third place in the AL East, which would be their highest finish since 2013 (2nd).

RAY MATTER—The Rays are a season-high 6 games under .500…they have lost 3 consecutive games and are looking to avoid a fourth straight loss for the first time since Aug 16-19 at TOR, vs. SEA (4)…they are 2-4 on this 7-game road trip (2-2 at BAL, 0-2 at NYY) and are 6-12 in their last 18 games since Sep 6, on the heels of a 10-5 stretch (Aug 20–Sep 5)…last night’s loss dropped the Rays to 1-5-2 in series play in Sep, after winning their previous three series from Aug 22-30 (vs. TOR, at STL, at KC)…the Rays are 31-41 (.431) within the AL East, including 13-25 (.342) at oppos-ing AL East stadiums…they are 45-41 (.523) in games outside the division.

ROUGH PATCH—The Rays have allowed at least 6 runs in 4 consecu-tive games, matching their longest such streak (10th time) in the Rays era (since 2008)—they haven’t allowed 6 runs (or more) in 5 straight games since they were known as the Devil Rays, from Sep 8-14, 2006 (6 straight).

Ê The 6th inning last night marked the fourth time in the last 4 games the Rays allowed 4 runs (or more) in a frame…they only had four in-nings of this type in their previous 29 games from Aug 20–Sep 22…it also marked the second time this season the Rays allowed 3 HR in a single inning (also Aug 23 vs. TOR, 2nd inning).

Ê The Rays lost 5 straight games after reaching their high-water mark of 51-44…the Rays had multi-run leads in the first 4 games of this 5-game losing streak…this stretch alone cut the Rays chances at the postseason in half, per FanGraphs (from 44.2 pct. to 20.4).

Ê Nine “quality starts” were the most ever by a Ray, ahead of Ryan Rupe (8)…his 11 starts of 3 runs or fewer were the most ever by a Ray, ahead of Blake Snell (10)…his 10 starts of at least 6 IP tied Andy Sonnanstine for the most by a Ray through 13 starts.

Ê He began his career with 7 consecutive quality starts, the first pitcher to do that since NYY Masahiro Tanaka (16) in 2014.

Ê ROOKIE LEADERS—Since his June 7 recall, his 82 SO rank 2nd among AL rookies—despite a stint on the disabled list—behind NYY Jordan Montgomery (88)…his 3.33 ERA over this span leads AL rookies and ranks 2nd among major league rookies (min. 75 IP), behind CIN Luis Castillo (3.12)…also ranks among major league rookie lead-ers since his recall (min. 75 IP) in WHIP (1.15, 2nd), opp avg. (.220, 3rd), opp OBP (.295, 2nd), opp SLG (.359, 1st) and opp OPS (.654, 2nd).

Ê ELIAS SAYS—Through 6 starts, was 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA (38.1-IP, 9-ER)…the Elias Sports Bureau noted the only other active pitchers who were 4-0 or better with an ERA that low through their first 6 career starts were PIT Zach Duke in 2005 (4-0, 0.92), LAA Jered Weaver in 2006 (6-0, 1.12) and SEA James Paxton in 2013-14 (5-0, 1.75).

Ê FARIA & FELIX—Through 5 starts, he was 3-0 with a 2.23 ERA (32.1-IP, 8-ER), 35 SO and 5 BB…according to STATS LLC, he became the second pitcher since data is available (1913) to total 35 SO (or more) and 5 BB (or fewer) in his first 5 career starts (no relief apps in be-tween), joining SEA Félix Hernández in 2005 (38-SO, 5-BB).

Ê HISTORIC START—Was the fifth pitcher since Baseball Reference data is available (1913) to go at least 6 IP, allow 1 run or fewer and earn the win in his first 3 career apps…he joined STL Andy Rincon (Sep 15-26, 1980), CIN Wayne Simpson (April 9-19, 1970), STL Stu Miller (Aug 12-22, 1952) and DET Alex Main (April 18-28, 1914).

Ê AT TRIPLE-A—Went 6-1 with a 3.07 ERA (58.2-IP, 20-ER) in 11 starts with Triple-A Durham…at the time of his recall, he ranked among In-ternational League leaders in wins (T-1st), SO (84, 1st), ERA (9th) and opp avg. (.204, 2nd), and among Rays minor league leaders in wins (T-1st), SO (1st) and ERA (T-7th)…allowed 2 runs or fewer in 7 of his 11 starts with Durham, and two of his last 3 starts there were scoreless.
