RAYS IN THE COMMUNITY—OF Steven Souza Jr. visited All Children’s Hospital this morning to hand out participant medals for the CureSearch Walk, which honors children who have been affected by childhood cancer while raising funds for lifesaving research…today’s walk was for those chil- dren undergoing treatment who could not attend the official 2015 Tampa Bay CureSearch Walk tomorrow in South Straub Park in St. Pete…LH Jake McGee will attend the opening ceremonies tomorrow from 10–11 a.m. Ê Tomorrow is Star Wars Night…fans purchasing the special ticket package will receive a limited edition Han Longo Bobblehead. RAY MATTER—The Rays return home from a 4-5 road trip to Baltimore (2-1), New York (1-2) and Detroit (1-2) and tonight open a 10-game homestand vs. Boston (3 games), New York (3) and Bal- timore (4)…they won Wednesday’s series finale at Comerica Park, 8-0, their largest shutout victory since Aug 22, 2014 at TOR (also 8-0)…they hit 4 HR, tying their season high (Aug 4 at CWS), and com- ing within a span of just 8 batters…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was just the second road game in franchise history that featured 4 HR and a shutout: also Aug 15, 2008 at TEX (7-0)…RH Jake Odorizzi made the 27th scoreless start by a Rays pitcher, most in the majors this season and 2nd most in club history (32 in 2014). Ê Starting with this homestand, the Rays play 17 straight games against AL East competition…20 of their remaining 23 games are within the division, with Sep 29–Oct 1 vs. MIA the lone exception. Ê The Rays need to go 14-9 or better in their 23 remaining games to record their 7th winning season out of 8 in the Rays era (since 2008). Ê The Rays began this season 15-4 when recording 10-plus hits (through June 19) but are 11-18 since then…their 26-22 (.542) mark overall when recording 10-plus hits is worst in the majors. SOUZA ACTIVE—Today the Rays activated OF Steven Souza Jr. from the 15-day DL…he sustained a left hand fracture on Aug 1…despite two DL stints sidelining him a total of 45 games, his 15 HR are still only 2 off the AL rookie lead, trailing HOU Carlos Correa (17) and MIN Miguel Sano (16). LEFTY LOOSEY—Tonight is the Rays fourth straight game against a left- handed starter…their 25-16 (.610) record vs. lefty starters is 2nd best in the majors behind Toronto (20-12)…the Rays have hit .272/.337/.448 vs. LH starters this season, with 54 HR (T-4th in MLB) and a .785 OPS (4th in MLB)…in contrast, the Rays are 43-55 (.439) when facing righty start- ers—2nd-worst mark in the AL, ahead of Detroit (44-61)…the Rays have hit .241/.303/.380 vs. RH starters. RAYS vs. RED SOX—The season series is even at 6-6 (3-3 at home, 3-3 in Boston)…9 of the 12 games have been decided by 2 runs or fewer…the Rays went 10-9 last year…they are 21-18 since June 19, 2013 and 74-66 since becoming the Rays in 2008…they were 58-111 as the Devil Rays. Ê BOS David Ortiz arrives in St. Pete needing 2 HR to join the 500-HR club…no one has ever hit his 500th homer against the Rays, but three have hit their 400th: BAL Cal Ripken, CWS Frank Thomas and LAA Vladimir Guerrero…none of those three were at Tropicana Field. HEADING FOR A.L. EAST RECORD?—In 56 games (27-29) vs. the AL East this season, the Rays have held the four division opponents to a .218 (401-for-1,843) batting avg. …since divisional play began in 1969, that would tie the 1972 California Angels (.218) as the lowest ever by an AL team. HOTTEST-HITTING TEAMS SINCE AUG 1—Since Aug 1, the Red Sox (.299) and Rays (.282) have the two highest batting averages of any major league team…the Rays also rank 5th in OBP (.341) and 6th in SLG (.457) during that span…prior to August, the Rays had been 28th in the majors in batting (.239), 23rd in SLG (.384) and 25th in OBP (.304). CLOSE SHAVES—The Rays have played 50 one-run games (24-26), 2nd most in the majors behind the White Sox (51)…12 of their last 20 games (6- 6) and 18 of their last 34 (10-8) have been settled by a one-run margin…the club records are 56 one-run games (2010), 29 one-run wins (2010, 2008, 2005) and 28 one-run losses (2003, 2002)…the Rays have also played 80 games decided by 2 runs or fewer (40-40), most in the majors. BULLPEN WORKING HARD—The Rays bullpen leads the AL with 52 saves—tying the club record (2008)—and 465 IP…the Rays ’pen leads the majors with 55 decisions and 31 losses…the Rays have earned a save in 76.4 pct. of their victories, highest in the majors, compared to 53.4 pct. by the rest of MLB…in fact, since the save became an official statistic in 1969 no team has finished a season with that high of a percentage…the inaugu- ral 1993 Florida Marlins were the closest, earning a save in 75 pct. of their victories (48 of 64)…RH Brad Boxberger leads the AL with 34 saves and will be the Rays 10th different save leader in the last 11 years. ARCHER 11 SHY OF CLUB RECORD—Tonight’s starter Chris Archer has 228 SO this season, 2nd in club history to Scott Kazmir (239) in 2007… Archer, 26, has 3 more strikeouts than Hall of Famer Walter Johnson had at his age, and the same number as Roger Clemens at 26. ONE HOMER AWAY FROM ELITE COMPANY—3B Evan Longoria hit 5 HR in 9 games on this road trip…is one homer away from his seventh 20-homer season, something only six other AL third basemen (min. 50 pct. of games at 3B) have accomplished in their careers: Graig Nettles (10), Adrian Beltre (7), Alex Rodriguez (7), Dean Palmer (7), Eric Chavez (7) and Gary Gaetti (7)…furthermore, he could become one of just four third basemen in major league history to hit at least 20 HR in seven of his first eight seasons, following Eddie Mathews (8), Chipper Jones (7) and Scott Rolen (7). Ê 1B James Loney’s next home run will be the 100th of his career…he needs to score 7 runs to reach 500. Ê SS Asdrubal Cabrera is 2 HR away from 100, and 3 RBI from 500. OUTLAW IN SEARCH OF GOLD—CF Kevin Kiermaier leads the majors with 38 Defensive Runs Saved, 16 more than the next-closest player, SF Brandon Crawford (22)…the next-closest outfielder is TOR Kevin Pillar (19)…Defensive Runs Saved attempts to calculate how many runs a player saved or cost his team in the field compared to the average player at his position…despite spending almost the first two months of 2014 in Triple-A, Kiermaier leads the majors over the last two years with 52 Defensive Runs Saved, ahead of ATL Andrelton Simmons (48.0), who’s won the NL’s last two Rawlings Gold Glove Awards at shortstop. Ê Kiermaier has 13 outfield assists and leads the majors with 12 tri- ples…he is the first outfielder to record a dozen triples and a dozen assists since KC Carlos Beltran in 2001 (12-3B, 14-assists). BACKSTOP POP—The Rays have gotten 18 HR from their catchers this year (while catching): 10 from Curt Casali and 4 each from Rene Rivera and J.P. Arencibia…the club record for catchers is 20 in 1999, when John Flaherty hit 14 and Mike Difelice had 6…this year, only two other positions have matched catchers’ HR output for the Rays: RF (23) and 3B (18) UGLY IN EXTRAS—The Rays have lost 10 consecutive extra-inning games, a club record, and the majors’ longest streak since the Mariners lost 10 straight spanning 2013-14…the last team to have a streak this long within one season is the Astros in 2012 (11 in a row)…they’re a major-league-worst 2-12 in extras overall…they have 12 walk-off losses, but only one walk-off win…they are 17-30 in games decided in the 7th inning or later. FIVE PROSPECTS RECOGNIZED—Today Baseball America announced its year-end All-Star Teams for each minor league level…five Rays were chosen: Ê Triple-A: 3B Richie Shaffer and OF Taylor Motter, Durham Ê Double-A: LH Blake Snell, Montgomery Ê High Class-A: RH Jacob Faria, Charlotte Ê Low Class-A: RH Brent Honeywell, Bowling Green MINOR LEAGUE PLAYOFFS—Class-A Charlotte has a 1-0 lead in the FSL Championship Series, beating the Daytona (Reds), 1-0, yesterday as RH Chih-Wei Hu (acquired from MIN in the Kevin Jepsen trade) pitched a career-high 8.0 scoreless innings…Double-A Montgomery lost 4-3 yester- day to Chattanooga in the opener of the Southern League Division Series… see Minor League Report for more details.

    Ê His SO/9 IP and opp OBP would be club records for a season.

    Ê DOUBLE DIGITS—Has reached 10 SO in 3 of his last 6 starts, and 9 times this year, tying the club record (David Price, 2014)…this ranks 3rd in the majors behind CWS Chris Sale (13) and LAD Clayton Ker-shaw (12)…has reached 10 SO with 0 BB four times, tying Price (2014) for most in a single season in club history, and 2nd in the majors this year to Kershaw (5).
