WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 at NEW YORK YANKEES LH David Price (8-8, 3.43) vs. RH Phil Hughes (4-13, 5.07) First Pitch: 7:05 p.m. | Location: Yankee Stadium, New York, N.Y. | TV: Sun Sports, ESPN | Radio: WDAE 620 AM, WGES 680 AM Game No.: 158 (88-69) | Road Game No.: 77 (37-39) | All-Time Game No.: 2,585 (1,191-1,393) | All-Time Road Game No.: 1,260 (494-765) April: 12-14 | May: 18-10 | June: 13-15 | July: 21-5 | August: 11-15 | September: 13-10 RAY MATTER—The Rays are riding a 5-game winning streak, their longest since winning 6 straight surrounding the All-Star break…the Rays have won 10 of their last 13 games, after winning only 4 of their previous 17 games… they’ve compiled a 2.67 ERA (128-IP, 38-ER) over this span compared to 4.20 during the 4-13 stretch...the Rays last 9 games have been against teams still in contention for a postseason bid...they are 7-2 so far. Ê The Rays and Rangers (who had a 4-14 slump) are trying to join 4 other teams in the Wild Card era (1995–present) who endured 4-13 or worse slumps in the final 6 weeks and still made the postseason: 2008 Brewers, 2000 Yankees, 2000 Mariners, 1995 Yankees. MISSION OCTOBER—The Rays are seek- ing their fourth trip to the postseason, all coming in the last 6 years…if they do it, they will be one of four teams to reach the post- season four times since 2008 along with the Yankees (4, trying for 5), Cardinals (4) and Phillies (4)…if they make it, it would be their second time doing so via AL Wild Card (also 2011). Ê The Rays have spent 79 consecutive days, beginning July 8, either alone in 2nd place or in first place in the AL East—and also in position to reach the postseason. MAGIC NUMBERS—The Rays “magic numbers” (Rays wins plus oppo- nent losses) to ensure they can’t be caught by other Wild Card contenders are as follows: KC-1, TEX-4, CLE-5…so with a win today, the Rays could ensure they will finish ahead of Kansas City. GET INTO THE 90s—With 5 games remaining, the Rays are only 2 wins shy of reaching 90 wins for a 4th consecutive season—and if they do so, they have a good chance of owning the longest active streak in the ma- jors…the Rangers would need to win 4 of their last 5 games to win 90 for a 4th straight season…Rays also could record their 5th 90-win season since 2008, which would be most in the majors since then. DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME—The Rays went 12-2 in the season’s final weeks last year...14-7 in 2011...7-7 in 2010...11-5 in 2009 and 9-5 in 2008. WELL, THAT WAS DIFFERENT—The Rays 7-0 shutout last night was in- deed unique...Matt Moore became just the 2nd pitcher since 1916 to walk 6 batters, throw 3 wild pitches and not allow a run…the only other time it has happened was on May 2, 1992 when TEX Roger Pavlik beat the White Sox, 4-2…Pavlik worked 6 innings, walked 6 and allowed one hit before leaving with a 1-0 lead…therefore, it can be said that before last night there has never been a shutout in which the starting pitcher walked 6 or more and threw 3 or more wild pitches since 1916. MOORE ONE OF FOURMatt Moore ran his record to 16-4 last night...he could finish the season one of just 4 lefties in the 2000s to finish the season with an .800 winning pct and win 15 or more games...only one other Rays pitcher has ever won 16 or more of his first 20 decisions of a season: David Price in 2012 (also 16)...with his three wild pitches last night, Matt Moore set a club record for most WPs in a season with 17, surpassing the mark of 15 held by Victor Zambrano in 2003…he tied ARI Trevor Cahill for the majors league lead…Moore earned his 16th win last night, 2nd among AL lefties behind LAA C.J. Wilson (17)…the last two pitchers with 16 or more wins and more wild pitches than wins were OAK Mike Moore (17, 22) in 1992 and TEX Nolan Ryan (16, 19) in 1989. RAYS SET CLUB SHUTOUT MARK—The Rays 7-0 shutout win last night was their club record 16th of the season surpassing the club mark of 15 set last year…the Rays are the first AL team to record at least 15 shutouts in consecutive years since the 1989-90 A’s, who won the AL pennant each year…last night was also the 7th of Moore starts to result in a shuotut (he recorded the win in 5 of them)…only LAD Clayton Kershaw (8) has more. AND TIE TWO OTHERS—Last night was the 38th time the Rays have held an opponent to 1 run or less, most in the AL, and matching last year’s club record…the Rays have also held opponents to 5 hits or less 45 times, most in the majors and 15 more than any other AL team (Indians, 30)…in fact this is the most such games by any AL team since 1973, matching only the 2012 Rays. AND THERE’S MORE—The Rays lowered their opponents’ batting av- erage to an AL best .239 following last night’s 7-0 win... if they hold their lead it will be the 4th straight season they’ve led the AL in opp avg. …the last team to lead the AL in opp avg. for 4 straight seasons was the Tigers from 1982-85…during this span (2010-13) the Rays combined .236 opp avg. leads the majors. ROSTER EXPANSION—The Rays active roster stands at 37 players, tied with Cleveland and Baltimore for largest in the majors, according to the Elias Sports Bureau…40 players have appeared in a game for the Rays this sea- son, one more than the Reds and Tigers for fewest in majors…the Brewers have also used 40…they have not yet used RH Jesse Crain or LH Jeff Beliveau. Ê Joe Maddon has made 40 pitching changes over the last 8 G (5.0 per game)…the bullpen is 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA (44-IP, 29-H, 8-ER). RAYS vs. YANKEES—Last night the Rays clinched the season series, their fourth time winning the season series vs. New York (10-8 in both 2012 and 2010; 11-8 in 2005)…they lead this season, 10 games to 7 (5-4 at home, 5-3 in New York)…if they win one of the next two games they will tie 2005 for their best mark ever against vs. NYY…Rays have won 6 of their last 8 meetings with New York. Ê The Rays own a 3.15 ERA (154.1-IP, 54-ER) and .218 opponents’ batting avg. vs. the Yankees this season…that ERA currently ranks as the lowest against the Yankees (min 10 games) since the 1997 Blue Jays (2.89) …the last team to hold the Yankees to a team batting average that low was the 1992 Blue Jays (.214). Ê The Rays have outhomered the Yankees this season, 22-8…since 2000, only two other teams have outhomered the Yankees by such a wide margin: the 2013 Red Sox (24-9) and the 2010 Blue Jays (33-18)…since the start of 2011, the Rays have outhomered the Yan- kees, 69-45. WIL POWER—The Rays are 52-36 (.591) since OF Wil Myers was called up June 18, compared to 36-33 (.522) prior to that…since his call-up, Myers leads the Rays with 51 RBI (13 more than next closest, James Loney), 44 runs scored, 89 hits, 19 doubles, a .293 avg. and .478 SLG…his 13 HR rank 2nd to Evan Longoria (15). Ê Myers is one of 8 visiting rookies to hit 3 or more home runs at Yan- kee Stadium (new or old), first since CWS Chris Singleton in 1999… if he homers again in this series, he can join OAK Reggie Jackson (1968) as the only players to hit 4 HR as a visitor at Yankee Stadium in their rookie season. WIL ISN’T THE ONLY ROOKIE CONTRBUTING—The Rays have used 5 rookie pitchers this season (Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, Alex Tor- res, Enny Romero and Alex Colome)...they are a combined 14-10 with 2 saves and a 2.75 ERA (232.1-IP, 175-H, 71-ER) and have held opponents to a .209 average (175-839). DEFENSIVE WIZARDRY—The Rays have committed only 56 errors, 2nd fewest in the majors behind the Orioles (48)…both the Rays and Orioles should break the 2003 Mariners’ mark for fewest errors in a 162-game sea- son (65)…Yunel Escobar leads all major league SS in fielding pct. and Evan Longoria leads AL 3B…Rays infielders have made only 34 errors, fewest in the majors and one off the major league record of 33 held by the 1999 Mets...the 11 errors made by SS Yunel Escobar (7) and 2B Ben Zo- brist (4) have been bettered only twice by a double- play combination: 2010 Yankees 9 (2B- Robinson Cano-3, SS Derek Jeter-6) and 1999 Mets 9 (2B Edgardo Alfonzo-5, SS Rey Ordonez-4) THE ROAD IS A LONEY PLACEJames Loney leads the majors with a .349 batting avg. on the road (89-for-255)…DET Miguel Cabrera (.330) and LAA Mike Trout (.328) rank 2nd and 3rd…the club record is .342 by Carl Crawford in 2007…an AL player hasn’t finished a season with a road avg. this high since 2006, when NYY Robinson Cano (.351) and MIN Joe Mauer (.359) both did it...Loney is hiting .394 at Yankee Stadium this sea- son, 2nd among visiting players (min 20 PAs) trailing only Jose Iglesias (.515).

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 at NEW YORK YANKEESLH David Price (8-8, 3.43) vs. RH Phil Hughes (4-13, 5.07)

April: 12-14 | May: 18-10 | June: 13-15 | July: 21-5 | August: 11-15 | September: 13-10

RAY MATTER—The Rays are riding a 5-game winning streak, their longest since winning 6 straight surrounding the All-Star break…the Rays have won 10 of their last 13 games, after winning only 4 of their previous 17 games…they’ve compiled a 2.67 ERA (128-IP, 38-ER) over this span compared to 4.20 during the 4-13 stretch...the Rays last 9 games have been against teams still in contention for a postseason bid...they are 7-2 so far.

Ê The Rays and Rangers (who had a 4-14 slump) are trying to join 4 other teams in the Wild Card era (1995–present) who endured 4-13 or worse slumps in the final 6 weeks and still made the postseason: 2008 Brewers, 2000 Yankees, 2000 Mariners, 1995 Yankees.

MISSION OCTOBER—The Rays are seek-ing their fourth trip to the postseason, all coming in the last 6 years…if they do it, they will be one of four teams to reach the post-season four times since 2008 along with the Yankees (4, trying for 5), Cardinals (4) and Phillies (4)…if they make it, it would be their second time doing so via AL Wild Card (also 2011).

Ê The Rays have spent 79 consecutive days, beginning July 8, either alone in 2nd place or in first place in the AL East—and also in position to reach the postseason.

MAGIC NUMBERS—The Rays “magic numbers” (Rays wins plus oppo-nent losses) to ensure they can’t be caught by other Wild Card contenders are as follows: KC-1, TEX-4, CLE-5…so with a win today, the Rays could ensure they will finish ahead of Kansas City.

GET INTO THE 90s—With 5 games remaining, the Rays are only 2 wins shy of reaching 90 wins for a 4th consecutive season—and if they do so, they have a good chance of owning the longest active streak in the ma-jors…the Rangers would need to win 4 of their last 5 games to win 90 for a 4th straight season…Rays also could record their 5th 90-win season since 2008, which would be most in the majors since then.

DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME—The Rays went 12-2 in the season’s final weeks last year...14-7 in 2011...7-7 in 2010...11-5 in 2009 and 9-5 in 2008.

Ê The Rays own a 3.15 ERA (154.1-IP, 54-ER) and .218 opponents’ batting avg. vs. the Yankees this season…that ERA currently ranks as the lowest against the Yankees (min 10 games) since the 1997 Blue Jays (2.89) …the last team to hold the Yankees to a team batting average that low was the 1992 Blue Jays (.214).

#70 JOE MADDON, MANAGER Ê Two-time AL Manager of the Year (2008, 2011) enters his 8th season as

Rays skipper…owns a career 673-618 (.521) record with the Rays: 127-197 (.392) in his first two seasons (2006-07) and 546-421 (.565) since the start of 2008…the Rays were 518-775 (.401) prior to his arrival.

Ê Has four ejections this season and 31 as a Ray, a club record. Ê Signed a 3-year contract extension on Feb 15, 2012 that runs through

2015…at that time, he will be the longest tenured manager/head coach in Tampa Bay sports history, surpassing the Bucs’ John McKay (1976-84).

Ê ON THE ROAD AGAIN—Turned 28 years old on Aug 26…makes his 26th start of the year, 14th on the road…is 6-3 with a 3.26 ERA (88.1-IP, 32-ER) in 13 road starts compared to 2-5 with a 3.61 ERA (82.1-IP, 33-ER) over at home…however, the Rays have lost his last 3 road starts.

Ê LAST START—On Fri vs. BAL, pitched 5 innings in the Rays epic 18-in-ning victory that set records for longest game in club history by time (6:54) and innings…Price’s line: 5 IP, 9 H, 2 R/ER, 1 BB, 4 SO, 90/58…allowed a base runner in each of his innings pitched (1st-6th).

Ê NOT AFRAID OF THE BEAST—His 38-14 (.731) lifetime record vs. the AL East currently ranks 1st since divisional play began in 1969 (min. 25 wins)…his career 2.97 ERA (476-IP, 157-ER) vs. the AL East ranks 2nd all-time (min. 30 starts) behind only Jim Palmer (2.75).

Ê RIGHT THE SHIP—Is winless in 5 starts since his victory Aug 24 vs. NYY…the offense has only scored 11 total runs with him in the game over the 5 starts…has lost his last 3 decisions, tied for the longest losing streak of his career (also July 20-Aug 2, 2011).

Ê SEPTEMBER STRUGGLES—In 4 starts this month, has allowed 34 batters to reach safely (29-H, 5-BB) in 26.1 IP…over his last 2 starts, has only had 1 perfect inning in 17 opportunities.

Ê TALE OF TWO SEPTEMBERS—In 2012, he went 4-0 with a 2.68 ERA (37-IP, 11-ER) and the Rays won all 5 of his September starts…so far this September, he is 0-2 with a 4.10 ERA (26.1-IP, 12-ER) and the Rays have lost 3 of his 4 September starts.

Ê STRIKEOUT-TO-WALK—Leads the AL with a 5.35 strikeout-to-walk ra-tio (139-SO, 26-BB), 4th in the majors to PHI Cliff Lee (6.53), STL Adam Wainwright (6.29) and NYM Matt Harvey (6.16)…this would be the 7th-highest rate by a LH pitcher in American League history behind only SEA/TEX Cliff Lee in 2010 (10.28), CLE CC Sabathia in 2007 (5.65), NYY David Wells in 1998 (5.62) and CLE Greg Swindell in 1991 (5.45), MIN Jim Merritt in 1967 (5.37) and TOR David Wells in 2000 (5.35).

Ê NO LONGBALLS—Has only allowed 1 HR since the start of August, a span of 10 starts and 67.1 IP…his only longball allowed in that span was a 3-R HR to Kurt Suzuki in the 5th inning on Aug 30 at OAK, snap-ping his homerless innings streak at 39.2 IP, the 2nd-longest streak of his career…has a current streak of 28.1 homerless innings pitched…13 of his 15 HR allowed this year have been hit by RH batters.

Ê ACE IS BACK—Spent 47 days (May 16-July 1) on the DL with a triceps strain that he suffered on May 15 vs. BOS…since his return on July 2, he is 7-4 with a 2.57 ERA (115.2-IP, 33-ER) and 90 SO in 16 starts…has only issued 12 BB out of 442 batters faced in that span (1-BB/36.8-BF).

Ê SINCE HIS RETURN—Since the beginning of July, leads the majors in innings pitched (115.2) and pitches per inning (13.8) and among AL pitchers ranks 4th in ERA (2.57).

Ê BETTER WITH PRICE—During his absence (May 16-July 1), the Rays went 24-20 (.545) while the starters went 17-13 with a 4.49 ERA…since he returned on July 2, the Rays have gone 44-30 (.595) while the starters have gone 29-21 with a 3.34 ERA.

Ê PRE-DL TOTALS: 9 starts, 1-4, 5.24 ERA, 55 IP, 65 H, 39 R, 32 ER, 14 BB, 49 SO, 8 HR, .294/.340/.471.

Ê POST-DL TOTALS: 16 starts, 7-4, 2.56 ERA, 115.2 IP, 100 H, 35 R, 33 ER, 12 BB, 90 SO, 7 HR, .234/.256/.335.
