RAY MATTER—Last night’s rainout was the Rays first of the season, 39th all-time, second at Kauffman Stadium…the Rays snapped their season-high 7-game losing streak with Sunday’s 8-1 win at Yankee Stadium…the 8 runs were their most in a game since a 9-5 win on May 31 at BAL…it snapped the Rays streak of 17 games without scoring more than 5 runs…the Rays dropped 2 out of 3 to the Yankees to start this 7-game, two-city trip…the Rays scored 2 runs in the 1st inning Sunday to run their record to 31-8 (.795) when scoring first, best record in the AL…the Rays scored a season-high 3 unearned runs in that win…the Rays are 3-11 since June 21 when they were a season-high 10 games over .500…the Rays were in first place and a season-high 2 games up in the AL East on June 23, but are 2-9 since…5 of those losses came in the 9th inning or later.

ROSTER MOVES—The Rays announced the following roster moves this morning…OF Steven Souza Jr. has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right finger laceration and 1B/OF/DH John Jaso has been reinstated from the DL, where he has been for the past 87 days with a left wrist contusion…he played 3 innings in LF for Triple-A Durham last night and was 0-for-2…to accommodate Jaso’s addition to the 40-man roster, the Rays designated RH Preston Guilmet for assignment…the Rays also named RH Matt An-driese as their 26th man for the second game of the doubleheader, and he will start the game…this will be Andriese’s fourth tour with the Rays this season, his third call-up….the Rays have now made 10 roster moves in the past 14 days and 83 since Opening Day.

DL REACHES 20—With OF Steven Souza Jr. joining the 15-day disabled list today, the Rays have now made 20 moves to the disabled list involving 18 different players…only the Rangers (21) have had more DL stints.

SOUZA ONLY THE FIFTH—With his disabled list trip keeping him inactive until at least July 20, OF Steven Souza Jr. will be just the 5th AL rookie in the last 20 years to reach 15 HR at the All-Star break…he will finish one behind Evan Longoria (16 in 2008) for most HR by a Rays rookie at the break…he could also become the first rookie to lead his team in HR and SB at the break since CIN Gary Redus in 1983.

TWO IN ONE—Today will be the 24th doubleheader (traditional or split) in Rays history made necessary by yesterday’s rainout…it’s their first double-header of the season…all-time the Rays are 4-10-9 in doubleheaders (tra-ditional or split) with sweeps at BOS (in 2014), at PHI (in 2012), at MIN (in 2011) and at BAL (in 2008)…the Rays are 3-6-9 in split doubleaders…the Rays played 14 doubleheaders (0-7-7) before finally winning one in 2008.

KINGS OF THE ROAD—This road trip began a stretch in which the Rays play 13 of 16 on the road…the Rays are a major league best 22-14 (.611) on the road and are the only team in the AL East with a winning road re-cord…the Rays are 12-5 on the road since May 30…since June 2, 2014, the Rays are 52-32 on road and 45-58 at home…the Rays have the majors’ best road record since 2010 (239-203, .542).

UNBLEMISHED IN ALL-STAR PLAY—Rays pitchers have never allowed a run in an All-Star Game in 10 innings…it is the longest current scoreless streak by an AL or NL team in All-Star Game competition.

RAYS vs. ROYALS—The Rays have lost 8 of their last 9 games here, the lone win a 1-0 decision on April 8, 2014…through the first 14 years of this series (1998–2011), the Rays led the all-time series 65-48, their best mark vs. an AL opponent, but their 5-14 mark over the last three seasons (2012-14) is their worst mark vs. an AL foe…KC has outscored the Rays 104-52 over that stretch…the Rays have gone 11 games since they last had 10-plus hits in a game vs. the Royals on May 1, 2013…it’s also been 13 games since they last stole a base on Aug 22, 2012…KC has swiped 14 since then.

RAYS ROOKIES—Tonight Matt Andriese will make the Rays major-league-high 39th start by a Rays rookie this season…Rays rookies are a combined 15-14 with a 3.89 ERA (284.2-IP, 123-ER)…15 wins are also a major league high this season…the Rays have used a major-league-most 16 rookies, 9 of those pitchers…Rays have six rookies on the current roster.

Ê LAST START—On Thu vs. CLE, made his season debut and did not allow a hit through 3 IP, needing 31 pitches…after that, allowed 6 H and 4 R/ER over the next 1.2 IP, needing 50 pitches…his last 5 BF reached base (4 singles, 1 walk) after he retired the first 2 batters of the 5th…had a career-high-tying 3 WP, most by a Ray since he did it on Sep 24, 2013 at NYY…the 1-thru-3 hitters in the Indians lineup went 5-for-8 with 4 RBI against him, while he held 4-thru-9 to 1-for-10…his line: 4.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R/ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 81 pitches, 53 strikes.

Ê LONG TIME COMING—Returns to the site of his last start before undergo-ing Tommy John surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews on April 22, 2014 in Pensacola, Fla. …went 451 days between starts…Moore was one of 26 major league pitchers to have Tommy John surgery in 2014, and the first Rays major leaguer to undergo Tommy John surgery since RH Jason Isringhausen nearly five years earlier (June 16, 2009).

Ê REHAB STARTS—Made a total of 5 rehab starts between Class-A Char-lotte and Triple-A Durham, with a 2.95 ERA (21.1-IP, 7-ER) and 24 SO…stretched out to 94 pitches in his last start, June 27 at Columbus (Indians)…totaled 15 SO in 10.1 IP over his final 2 rehab starts, both with Durham.

Ê 26th MAN—Recalled today from Triple-A Durham to serve as the 26th Man in today’s doubleheader, making him eligible for Game 2…since the 26th Man rule went into effect at the start of the 2012 season, the Rays have played four doubleheaders and used the following players as their 26th Man: LH Alex Torres (2012), RH Jake Odorizzi (2013), RH Brad Boxberger (2014) and RH Alex Colome (2014).

Ê IN CONTROL—Has only issued 1.51 BB/9 IP, which would rank 4th in the AL if he qualified—behind MIN Phil Hughes (0.89), NYY Michael Pineda (1.17) and LAA Jered Weaver (1.49)…hasn’t allowed a walk in either of his last 2 starts, or in his last 12.1 IP overall, starting with the end of his June 17 at WAS relief app…has issued 2 BB or fewer in all 11 career apps (6 starts)…has only issued 2 BB in his last 4 starts combined.

Ê LAST STINT—This marks his fourth stint in the majors this season (also Opening Day–April 29, May 9-14 and June 12-27)…won 3 of his 4 apps (3 start) during his last stint, going 3-1 with a 1.71 ERA (21-IP, 4-ER), which lowered his season ERA from 4.79 to 3.24…two starts ago, on June 22 vs. TOR, yielded 3 HR (Reyes, Navarro, Bautista) in 5.1 IP…didn’t allow an earned run in his June 12 start vs. CWS (5.2 IP) or on June 17 at WAS (4 IP, 2 H), in relief of starter Steve Geltz.

Ê STINGY ON RIGHTIES—Has allowed twice as many homers to lefties (4) than righties (2) in his brief major league career…lefties are hitting .293 (24-for-82), compared to .218 (17-for-78) for righties…in his minor league career, lefties have hit .272 (251-for-924) with 21 HR while right-ies have hit .231 (229-for-991) with 12 HR.

Ê RISP-Y BUSINESS—Opponents are batting .268 (30-for-112) with the bases empty, .229 (11-for-48) with runners on and .136 (3-for-22) with RISP…five of his 6 HR allowed have been solo shots.

Ê AT DURHAM—Has made one start for the Bulls since his last option, July 2 at Norfolk (Orioles)…allowed a 2nd-inning solo homer to Steve Clevenger, his first homer allowed at the Triple-A level this season…in his last 4 starts there (since May 25), has pitched to a 2.29 ERA (19.2-IP, 5-ER), lowering his Triple-A season ERA from 5.06 to 2.88.
