SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 at BOSTON RED SOX RH Alex Cobb (10-9, 3.64) vs. RH Rick Porcello (9-16, 4.67) SHELTER FROM THE STORM—With Hurricane Irma bearing down on the Tampa Bay area, Major League Baseball has moved the 3-game series against the Yankees (Mon–Wed) to Citi Field, home of the New York Mets… the Rays will be the home team and bat last…fans holding tickets to Rays- Yankees games at Tropicana Field should check RaysBaseball.com/Irma and all social media channels for info on exchanges and refunds…all 3 games will air on Fox Sports Sun and the Rays Radio Network…tickets for the Citi Field games are on sale at Mets.com/Irma, by phone at (718) 507- TIXX or in person at the Citi Field box office…Field Level reserved seating is $25…ticket fees will be waived. UNITED FOR A CAUSE—The Red Sox, Rays, Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers have partnered to raise funds for Florida relief…donations will be collected at all Fenway Park gates today, before and during the game… players from all four teams, including Rays RH Jake Odorizzi and RH Steve Cishek, will help with the collection when gates open at 12:05… donations will support Red Cross relief efforts that may be needed in the Florida area…the Panthers were moved to the Boston area to wait out the hurricane near their AHL affiliate where the team plans to practice. RAY MATTER—The Rays have lost 3 straight games and have yielded 9-plus runs in all 3 games, only the second time in the Rays era (since 2008) they have allowed at least 9 runs in 3 straight games (also June 12- 14, 2012 vs. NYM)…they lost 9-0 last night, 9-3 on Friday and 10-6 on Wed vs. MIN…only once in club history have they yielded 9 or more in 4 straight games: June 4-8, 1999 vs. FLA/at ATL (5 straight)…last night was the Rays 11th shutout loss of the season, tied with Seattle for 2nd most in the majors behind KC (15)…it was their third shutout loss this year when recording 8 hits or more, most in the majors (June 29 at PIT, Aug 4 vs. MIL)…of the 11 shutouts, it was only their second to occur on the road (June 29 at PIT)… last night was the Rays worst shutout loss (9-0) since April 18, 2015 vs. NYY (also 9-0) and their worst on the road since April 15, 2005 at BOS, when LH David Wells defeated RH Hideo Nomo, 10-0…it tied for the larg- est margin of defeat this season (June 16 at DET, 13-4). Ê Before losing the last 3 games, they had won 10 of 15 games since Aug 20…according to FanGraphs, this 3-game skid has lowered their chances of reaching the postseason from 10.0 pct. to 3.3 pct., including a 1.6 chance of reaching the ALDS. Ê In losing the last 2 games to LH Drew Pomeranz and LH Chris Sale, the Rays dropped to 16-24 (.400) vs. LH starters this season…they will face four lefties in 6 games on this road trip…they are 54-49 vs. RHP. Ê Today the Rays look to avoid being swept for the fifth time this season, fourth of 3 or more games…their last time being swept was Aug 8-9 vs. BOS (2 games) and their last 3-game sweep was July 21-23 vs. TEX. TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDEWith last night’s loss, the Rays missed a chance to gain a game on the top four teams chasing the second AL Wild Card position…although only 4.5 GB of the second Wild Card, they have six teams ahead of them with 19 games remain- ing…17 of those 19 games are vs. AL East foes ahead of them in the stand- ings, and the other 2 vs. the defending World Champion Chicago Cubs…this is their sixth of 14 consecutive games vs. teams currently positioned to reach the postseason (2-3). Ê The Rays need to finish at least 11-8 to achieve Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager, 12-7 to finish with a winning record and 15-4 to reach 85 wins…for context, their best 19-game stretch in Cash’s tenure is 14-5 (June 2–21, 2015). RAYS vs. RED SOX—Last night’s 9-0 loss was their most lopsided to Boston since Sep 25, 2014 at Fenway (11-1)…the Rays have a 4-game losing streak vs. Boston after starting the season 6-5…they are 6-9 overall (3-3 home, 3-6 road) and would need to win all 4 remaining games to avoid losing back-to- back season series to Boston for the first time since 2006-07 (7-12 in 2016)… they play a 3-game set at Tropicana Field next weekend (Sep 15-17)…Tam- pa Bay is 91-90 (.503) vs. Boston since becoming the Rays in 2008. 57—Strikeouts by LH Chris Sale against the Rays this year, most by any pitcher against the Rays in one season…Sale already held this record be- fore his 8 SO last night, ahead of NYY Roger Clemens (46) in 2001 and BOS Rick Porcello (46) in 2016…the Elias Sports Bureau found that this is the highest strikeout total by any pitcher vs. any opponent since ARI Randy Johnson (68) in 2001 vs. SD. Ê Red Sox PR notes that Sale has 134 SO in 90 IP lifetime vs. the Rays…this 13.40 SO/9 IP ratio is the highest by any pitcher vs. any opponent in the live ball era (since 1920; min. 75 IP). POWER SURGE—The Rays rank 6th in the AL with 202 HR, already the 2nd-highest total in club history (216 in 2016)…they are on pace for 229… Strangely, the Rays have lost 7 of their 10 games since the All-Star break when hitting at least 3 HR; before the All-Star break, they were 17-3 when hitting at least 3 HR…the Rays lead the majors with a club-record 12 back- to-back home runs, ahead of the Orioles and D-backs (11 each). STREAK ENDS AT 18—Last night’s shutout ended the Rays streak of 18 games with a home run, the longest in club history within one season and 2nd longest overall (21, Sep 20, 2015–April 12, 2016)…they fell one shy of the longest streak in the majors this season (19 by Houston, May 23–June 11)…during these 18 games, the Rays scored 86 runs and hit 35 HR, aver- aging 4.78 R/G and 1.94 HR/G…over the previous 14 games (Aug 4-18), they scored 24 runs and hit 8 HR (1.71 R/G, 0.57 HR/G). ROAD RAGER—1B/DH Logan Morrison has a club-record 26 HR on the road, tops in the AL and one shy of MIA Giancarlo Stanton for the major league lead…Morrison has 26 HR in 240 AB on the road (9.23 AB/HR); Stanton has 27 HR in 277 AB (10.26 AB/HR)…his current 9.23 AB/HR ratio is the best of any player (min. 20 HR on road) since BOS David Ortiz in 2003 (9.09; 32 HR in 291 AB)…he is on pace for 29 HR on the road, a mark not reached since 2006 when Ortiz (32) and PHI Ryan Howard (29) both did it…the AL record of 32 is shared by Ortiz and NYY Babe Ruth (1927). Ê Morrison’s career-high 36 HR overall are tied with Evan Longoria (2016) for 3rd most in club history behind Carlos Peña in 2007 (46) and 2009 (39)…he has 7 HR and 14 RBI in his last 11 games (10 starts)…prior to these last 10 games, he totaled 1 HR and 2 RBI over 20 games from Aug 3-25. EVAN LONGORIA—Has 31 HR lifetime vs. Boston, 2nd among active play- ers behind TOR José Bautista (42)…17 of those have come at Fenway Park, tied with CLE Edwin Encarnación for 2nd among actives as a visi- tor, behind Bautista (25)…Longoria’s career 102 RBI vs. Boston rank 2nd among active players, behind SEA Robinson Canó (116). MORE ON IRMA—The Rays-Yankees series starting tomorrow is the fifth time in baseball history that weather concerns forced the relocation of games to a neutral site…just last week, the Rays hosted the Astros and Rangers for 3 games due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston…the Astros-Rangers series was the first such occurrence since Sep 14-15, 2008 (Cubs at Astros, Miller Park) due to Hurricane Ike. Ê Irma is the third hurricane to affect Rays games at Tropicana Field, following Hurricane Frances (2004) and Hurricane Gordon (2000)…a full description of those circumstances can be found on Page 41 of the 2017 Rays Media Guide. Ê WDAE 620 AM will not carry Rays games until further notice due to hurricane news coverage…instead, fans can tune in on the Rays Radio Network or MLB At-Bat, which is waiving fees until the Rays flagship returns. MUCH TO CELEBRATE IN MINOR LEAGUE PLAYOFFS—Triple-A Dur- ham won, 4-3, yesterday over Indianapolis (Pirates) to advance to the Gov- ernor’s Cup Finals, their 11th time reaching it in 20 seasons as a Rays af- filiate (first since 2013)…C Justin O’Conner delivered a 2-out, 2-run single in the 8th inning to take the lead…they will play the winner of Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre and Lehigh Valley, with SWB holding a 2-1 lead in that series. Ê Double-A Montgomery won last night at Chattanooga (Twins), 2-0, to even their series 2-2…rehabbing RH Nathan Eovaldi (Tommy John surgery) and LH Xavier Cedeño (left forearm tightness) worked the first 2 innings, throwing 14 and 10 pitches, respectively…tonight in Chattanooga, they play a decisive Game 5 for only the second time in their 14-year history, and could clinch their first Southern League championship since 2007 with a win. Ê Short-A Hudson Valley won Game 1 of their best-of-three series vs. Staten Island (Yankees), 5-2, in the 13th inning on a walk-off, 3-run homer by C Zacrey Law…rehabbing RH Jake Faria (left abdominal strain) is scheduled to start Game 2 today at Staten Island, with a chance to advance to the NYPL Finals.

vs. LAA and April 21 vs. HOU.

Ê DON’T RUSH ME—Averages 26.1 seconds between pitches, accord-ing to FanGraphs, 3rd in the majors behind NYY Masahiro Tanaka (26.2) and TEX/LAD Yu Darvish (26.1), and the highest of his career…in his 5 starts after returning from Tommy John in 2016, averaged 21.4 seconds between pitches…his previous high before this season (min. 10 starts) was 24.5 seconds in 2014.

Ê WATCH YOUR BACK—Has 5 pickoffs, tied for 2nd in the majors be-hind SD Clayton Richard (8), and tied with CHC Kyle Hendricks for most among RHP…his 5 pickoffs are the most by a Rays RHP since James Shields (13) in 2011…had 5 career pickoffs prior to this year.

Ê According to Baseball America’s 2017 Best Tools survey of major league managers, coaches, scouts and executives, his pickoff move was ranked first in the AL, ahead of BAL Wade Miley.
