SOUZA TO RECEIVE HIS GIBBY—At 6:50 tonight, OF Steven Souza Jr. will be presented with his 2014 “GIBBY” Award for Defensive Play of the Year by MLB.com…on Sep 28, 2014 vs. MIA, he entered the Nationals regular season finale as a defensive replacement and made a diving catch in LF to end Jordan Zimmermann’s no-hitter, robbing Christian Yelich. RAY MATTER—With last night’s 5-0 win, the Rays returned to a season- high 7 games over .500…a win tonight would put them 8 games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 2013 season at 92-71…the Rays have won 13 of their last 18 games, their best 18-game stretch since July 8– Aug 2, 2014 (13-5)…the Rays have held sole possession of first place for 3 straight days, and a share of first for 5 straight days…overall this season, they’ve had a share of first place 15 days this season, including 8 days alone on top…the last time they had sole possession of first place this late in the season was end of play July 30, 2013…this is the first time the Rays have been alone in first place on this date, though they were tied with New York on this date in 2010. Ê In the AL, only the Astros (39) have more wins than the Rays (37). Ê The Rays are 11-5 in the month of June, T-3rd in the majors…June 1 also began a stretch of 20 games vs. out-of-division opponents. Ê Last night was the Rays seventh shutout of the season…it was their 22nd since the start of 2014, most in the AL and one shy of St. Louis for the major league lead. Ê The Rays are 26-5 when scoring first, compared to 10-25 when their opponent scores first. Ê Tonight ends the “home-and-home” series vs. the Nationals, and the Rays 5-game road trip continues tomorrow in Cleveland…the Rays own the majors’ best road record at 18-11 (.621)…they’ve won 6 of their last 7 road games, and 8 of their last 10. Ê The Rays are 11-4 on getaway days and 13-8 in series finales. SILENCE!—Five Rays pitchers last night combined for a 2-hit shutout, after the staff yielded 16 runs on 23 hits the night before…it was the first time any team had thrown a shutout after allowing 16-plus runs the game before since the 2012 Cubs, June 27 vs. NYM (L, 17-1) and June 29 vs. HOU (W, 4-0)…the last AL club to do this was the 2009 White Sox, May 21 vs. MIN (L, 20-1) and May 22 vs. PIT (W, 2-0). Ê Since 1914, when Baseball Reference data is first available, the Rays are the first AL team to allow 23-plus hits in one game and 2 hits or fewer the next…the last NL team to do this was the Giants, May 17-18, 1975 vs. STL (also 23 hits, 2 hits). 26 PITCHERS…AND IT’S JUNE 18Ronald Belisario last night became the 26th pitcher used by the Rays, a new club record (25 in 2006)…ac- cording to Stats LLC, they are one of only 10 teams in major league history since the All-Star Game began (1933) to use 26 pitchers before the All-Star break, and all of these have occurred since 2000…only three teams in ma- jor league history have used more than 26 pitchers before the break: the 2013 Blue Jays (29), 2014 Angels (28) and 2014 Rangers (28)…the Rays have a chance to become the first team since divisional play began in 1969 to lead the majors in pitchers used and win their division. OBSTACLE COURSE—The Rays stand alone in first place at 37-30 despite: Ê using a major-league-most 44 players, 26 pitchers (see note above) and 21 relief pitchers…according to Stats LLC, 44 players is a new club record before the All-Star break (43 in 2003)…the club record for relievers used is 23 (2004). Ê sending 17 players to the disabled list for a total of 19 stints, one shy of Texas (20 stints) for most in the majors…that includes seven DL stints by six starting pitchers…the DL “peaked” at a club-record 13 players on April 23 and stands at 11 players currently. Ê getting 3 starts total from Alex Cobb, Matt Moore and Drew Smylyfour of the five pitchers on the cover of the 2015 Rays Media Guide are on the DL (these three plus Jake Odorizzi). Ê using a major-league-most 16 rookies, tying the club record (2001, 2011)…the 29 starts by rookies lead the majors, one ahead of Cincin- nati…eight rookies are on the active roster currently. Ê seeing 5 players make their ML debut, and 19 make their Rays debut. TIGHTLY BUNCHED—The top 4 teams in the AL East remain separated by only 2.0 games, and they have 4 of the majors’ 7 best records in the month of June…since divisional play began in 1969, it’s only the second time the AL East has had its top 4 teams this close together…in 1973, the Brewers were being chased by the Orioles (-1.0), Yankees (-1.5) and Tigers (-2.0). KING OF THE ROADChris Archer is 5-0 with a 0.51 ERA (35-IP, 19-H, 2-ER, 4-BB, 46-SO) in 5 road starts, best ERA in the majors and less than half that of the next pitcher, CLE Trevor Bauer (1.10)…has yielded 1 run or fewer in a club-record 7 straight road starts, longest such streak by an AL starter since MIN Johan Santana in 2004 (8)…the Rays have won 13 of his last 14 road starts. WHAT A HOMECOMING—OF Steven Souza Jr. received a loud ovation from the crowd yesterday, even though he spent only 21 games in a Na- tionals uniform…tonight he’ll be honored for his memorable catch in 2014 (see “Souza to Receive His GIBBY” note)…last night he singled on the first pitch he saw against Jordan Zimmermann, made a diving catch in foul territory, hit a go-ahead, 417-foot homer in his next at-bat, then hit a “little league home run” in the 8th inning (bunt single, rounded the bases on an E-1 and E-9)…heavy research by Craig Vanderkam reveals that only one other Rays player has hit a “major league and little league” home run in the same game: Miguel Cairo on May 26, 1998 at OAK (singled and scored on E-5/E-4 in the 3rd inning; cleared the fence in the 8th)…for the purposes of this note, a little league home run is any batted ball where the batter scored without clearing the fence. Ê Since 1988, Souza is only the second AL rookie to hit 13 HR in his team’s first 67 games, joining CWS Jose Abreu (19) last year. CURT CASALI—Delivered a career-high 3 hits last night, reached base 4 times and hit his first home run—all while catching a 2-hit shutout…accord- ing to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other Rays catcher to catch a shut- out in the same game in which he hit his first career homer (catching the entire game) was Michel Hernandez on April 30, 2009 vs. BOS—a 13-0 win and combined 1-hitter by Matt Garza and Grant Balfour. THAT’S A FIRSTCurt Casali hit his first career homer last night, the fifth Ray to do so this season…the Rays have seen a number of notable firsts in 2015: Ê First Managerial Win: Kevin Cash Ê Major League Debut: Allan Dykstra, Matt Andriese, Mikie Mahtook, Ryan Brett, Andrew Bellatti Ê First Win (pitcher): Steve Geltz, Jose Dominguez, Andrew Bellatti, Matt Andriese, C.J. Riefenhauser Ê First Save: Steve Geltz, Matt Andriese Ê First Hit: Allan Dykstra, Mikie Mahtook, Ryan Brett Ê First HR: Tim Beckham, Mikie Mahtook, Allan Dykstra, Joey Butler, Curt Casali RAYS vs. NATIONALS—The Rays are 12-12 all-time against the franchise (7-5 vs. Nationals, 5-7 vs. Expos)…this is the Rays first visit to Nationals Park since June 19-21, 2012, when Joel Peralta was ejected from the se- ries opener for a foreign substance on his glove (later drawing an 8-game suspension…Chris Archer made his major league debut in a 3-2 loss to Stephen Strasburg in the middle game…the Rays are 3-4 all-time in the nation’s capital: 2-2 at Nationals Park and 1-2 at RFK Stadium. INTERLEAGUE INTRIGUE—The Rays are 5-3 in interleague play this year (1-1 at ATL, 2-1 at MIA, 2-1 vs. WAS)…their next interleague series is July 20-22 at PHI…the Rays are 154-162 (.487) all-time, but their 80-58 (.580) mark since 2008 ranks 6th in the majors during that span…this is the 19th season of interleague play…since it began in 1997, the AL leads the all-time series, 2,472-2,225 (.527)…this year the AL leads, 74-59, as they seek their 12th straight interleague season series win…overall, the AL has won 14 of the 18 season series. REHAB CORNER—LH Matt Moore (Tommy John surgery) will throw a bullpen today, then be reevaluated…LH Drew Smyly (torn left labrum) will throw at 75 feet again today…DH John Jaso (left wrist contusion) will hit on the field for the first time today…RH Jake Odorizzi (left oblique strain) and RH Andrew Bellatti (right shoulder inflammation) will play catch today and tomorrow and throw a bullpen session Monday.

Ê ROAD RULES—His 0.51 ERA (35-IP, 2-ER) on the road leads the majors…next is CLE Trevor Bauer (1.10)…has yielded 1 run or fewer in a club-record 7 straight road starts, longest such streak by an AL starter since MIN Johan Santana in 2004 (8)…has gone 6-plus IP in 14 straight road starts, one shy of David Price’s franchise record (15, Aug 30, 2013–July 19, 2014)…has also yielded 3 earned runs or fewer in a club-record 18 straight road starts…owns a 1.43 ERA (119.1-IP, 19-ER) during that streak, which began over 13 months ago on May 16, 2014…the Rays have won 13 of his last 14 road starts.

Ê BACK AND FORTH—Ranks T-2nd in the majors with 113 SO, behind LAD Clayton Kershaw (122)—who passed him yesterday…Archer has held at least a share of the major league lead in strikeouts at the end of play of 11 days this season (April 16, April 21, April 26, May 12, June 2, June 7-8, June 13-16)…he also recorded his 100th strikeout this season in his 12th start—tying David Price (2014) for fewest starts to reach 100.

Ê CHANNELING PEDRO—Finished his last start at a 2.00 ERA and 113 SO, a combination unmatched at the end of play on June 13 since 2000: BOS Pedro Martinez (0.95 ERA, 114-SO) and ARI Randy Johnson (1.42 ERA, 139-SO)…both were a club record thru June 13 (prev. 111 SO by David Price in 2014; 2.23 ERA by David Price in 2010).

Ê MAKING HISTORY—From May 27–June 7, became the first player in the modern era (since 1900) to record 10-plus strikeouts and no walks in 3 consecutive starts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau…in those 3 starts, he went 2-0 with a 0.39 ERA (23-IP, 14-H, 2-R, 1-ER, 0-BB, 38-SO)…his 38 SO were the most ever in a three-start stretch without issuing a walk…named the AL Player of the Week for June 1-7.

Ê COMMUNITY CORNER—On Tuesday, Archer supported the “Reading with the Rays—Read Your Way to the Ballpark” program by visiting the Childs Park YMCA in St. Petersburg to read with a group of children and discuss the importance of reading.

Ê K’s FOR KIDS—For every strikeout Archer logs this season, he will join the Rays and WTSP 10 News to each donate $25 to be split among Burg Baseball Inc. and RBI Baseball of Tampa…his 113 SO have already raised $8,475 for the youth leagues this year.

Ê Ejected on May 10 vs. TEX in the 5th inning by HP umpire Mike Estabrook for arguing balls and strikes…was his second ejection as a manager.

Ê 37-year-old manager is the youngest skipper in the majors since ARI A.J. Hinch (34) in 2009 and youngest active manager/head coach in the four major sports, ahead of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens (38).

Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager

“His slider is as good a slider as I’ve seen, maybe ever. That night he pitched against us … it was an impressive performance, something I hadn’t seen in a long time. … I was there when Roger Clemens struck out 20 against us in Seattle, and it was that kind of stuff. In

fact, his breaking ball was better than Roger’s. … Archer’s breaking ball, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one that hard with that much depth to it.
