TOMORROW’S STARTER—LH DREW SMYLY (2-11, 5.42) Ê LAST START—On Sat at OAK, was in line for his first win since May

16 at TOR before Alex Colome’s blown save…allowed 1 run, his few-est since May 16 at TOR (1)…yielded 2 H, 1 BB (incl. a Khris Davis RBI single) in a 29-pitch 1st inning, then didn’t allow a run in innings 2-thru-5 and averaged 11.8 pitches per inning…was only his third qual-ity start since the beginning of May, compared to four in April…his line: ND, 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SO, 88 pitches, 51 strikes…only has 4 SO over his last 3 starts spanning 15 IP.

Ê SNAP THE SKID—Is 0-7 over his last 11 starts, longest losing streak by a Rays starter since Chris Archer from Sep 6, 2015–April 20, 2016 (7) and the longest within a single season since James Shields from May 25–June 29, 2010 (7)…Shields did pick up a win in relief over his stretch…the longest losing streak in club history is 11, by Geremi

Gonzalez in 2003-04…it’s the longest losing streak of his career (prev. 3, May 8-31, 2014)…he is seeking his first win since May 16 at TOR.

Ê His .154 winning pct. is the lowest in the majors (STATS LLC)…his 11 losses are T-3rd in the AL.

Ê NEARING 500—Enters tomorrow 3 strikeouts shy of 500.

Ê vs. YANKEES—Is 2-0-1 with a 1.71 ERA (31.2-IP, 6-ER) in 7 career apps (4 starts) against the Yankees in the regular season…has made 3 starts against them with the Rays, going 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA (20-IP, 5-ER)…has faced them once this season, on April 24 at Yankee Sta-dium and got the win as his only run allowed in 7 IP was a 4th-inning RBI double by Alex Rodriguez.

Ê Has recorded at least 5 outs in his last 7 relief apps, incl. 4 straight apps of at least 2 IP…has an 0.84 ERA (10.2-IP, 1-ER) in those 4 apps. Ê Both his losses have come over his 9 relief apps but has a 2.18 ERA (20.2-IP, 5-ER) in relief this year, compared to a 4.75 ERA in relief last year.

Ê Recorded his third career save on July 19 at COL, all of them having been of the 3 IP (or more) variety—most in club history (last May 14, 2015

vs. NYY)…he has the last 3 such saves recorded by the Rays, though this was their first on the road since Jake Odorizzi on Sep 24, 2013 at NYY. Ê Became the fifth Ray to ever start a season at 6-0 or better and remains one of seven major league pitchers to do that this season.

Rays pitchers to lead the league in saves…it was the fifth 40-save season in Rays history…also had a major-league-leading and club record 10 relief losses…the only pitcher to ever match his combination of at least 10 losses and 41 saves was COL Jose Jimenez in 2002 (10-L, 41-SV).

#31 XAVIER CEDEÑO, LH Last App: 7/27 at LAD (1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-4 vs. LH: .183 (11-60)2016: 3-2-0, 3.62 ERA, 40 G Long Relief App: 1.1, 5x-last 7/2 vs. DET IR-RS: 17-6 vs. RH: .286 (18-63), 1-HR
