RAY MATTER—The Rays suffered their 6th walkoff loss of the season last night, losing 5-4 to start their season-long 11-game road trip to New York (4 games), Toronto (3) and Baltimore (4)…the Rays hit 4 solo home runs…before last night, the Rays had been 62-9 all-time when they hit 4 HR (or more)…the Rays have lost 4 of their last 5 games despite leading in each game…the Rays have also held a lead in 9 straight games (4-5)…the Rays are 25-24 since July 17, including 17-10 at home and 8-14 on the road…the Rays are 0-5-1 in their last six road series since winning 2 of 3 from July 18-20 at COL…they haven’t won a series in an AL park since June 2-5 at MIN, having lost 8 straight series in AL parks since then…the Rays suffered their 80th loss last night in Game 139…it is the earliest the franchise has reached 80 losses since they were the Devil Rays in 2007 (131 games).

ROSTER SIZE—The Rays roster is at 32 (+1 DL) including 18 pitchers.

WALKOFF—Last night’s 5-4 walkoff loss was the Rays 19th walkoff since 2015, tied with the Dodgers and Mariners for most in the majors…Tyler Austin’s 9th-inning home run off Erasmo Ramirez was the 4th walkoff HR the Rays have allowed this season and was the 2nd allowed by Ramirez, both here at Yankee Stadium (also Brett Gardner on April 23)…it was the 4th walkoff HR the Rays have allowed in their last 17 games here…it was also the 11th walk-off homer the Rays have surrendered since the last time they hit one (May 22, 2014 vs. OAK, Sean Rodriguez—the longest drought in the majors).

RAYS FIRST-INNING HR STREAK IS A CLUB RECORD—The Rays have hit a first-inning home run in four consecutive games, longest such streak in club history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau…the last major league club to do it was the Colorado Rockies from May 28-31, 2012 (4). MULTI-HOMER GAMES AT YANKEE STADIUM—CF Kevin Kiermaier and RF Steven Souza Jr. each hit a pair of home runs last night, becoming the first teammates to have multi-homer games against the Yankees at Yan-kee Stadium (current or original) since CWS Paul Konerko and Magglio Ordonez on Aug 26, 2003 in a 12-3 win…it was the first multi-HR game of Kiermaier’s career…they also became just the second pair of teammates all-time to have 3 hits (or more) including 2 HR vs. the Yankees at Yankee Stadium…they joined ATL Ryan Klesko and Andruw Jones who did it in a 10-7 win on July 16, 1999.

4 HITS, 2 HOMERS—Kiermaier became just the fourth player to have a 4-hit, 2-homer game at new Yankee Stadium (since 2009)…he joined HOU Carlos Correa (Apr 16, 2016), PHI Maikel Franco (June 22, 2015) and OAK Coco Crisp (Aug 24, 2011)…Kiermaier’s two homers gave him a ca-reer-high 11 this season, after 10 in each of the past two seasons.

SOUZA’s BLAST SECOND LONGEST HERE—Steven Souza Jr.’s 6th-inning home run last night off Jonathan Holder was calculated by ESPN’s Home Run Tracker at 461 feet…according to ESPN, it’s the 2nd-longest home run ever hit in this ballpark, behind a 477-foot blast by PHI Raúl Iba-ñez against Chien-Ming Wang on May 22, 2009…in addition, Souza Jr. be-came the 12th player all-time and second Ray to have a pair of multi-homer games in a single season against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium (current or original)…he also did it on April 24…Evan Longoria did it in 2013.

KK’s STREAK RAYS LONGEST SINCE 2013—With 4 hits last night, CF Kevin Kiermaier extended his career-high hitting streak to 12 games (.400, 20-for-50)…has raised his average from .219 to .249, highest it’s been since April 30…it is the Rays longest streak since in more than 3 years: Wil Myers also had a 12-game streak from June 13-21, 2013…in his last 13 PA, he has reached 11 times going 8-for-10 with 3 BB and 3 HR…KK has also been successful in his last 14 SB attempts dating back to late-April…his 88.9 pct. success rate (16-for-18) leads the AL…since moving to the No. 2 spot, is batting .302/.357/.504 (39-for-129) with 6 HR and 16 RBI in 33 G. DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY—The Rays are 20 games through a stretch of 36 consecutive games vs. teams not only above .500, but within 4.0 games of a postseason berth (at the time the Rays played them and currently)…they are 9-11 so far…their only remaining series vs. a current sub-.500 team is Sep 26-29 at CWS…the Rays have played a MLB-most 102 games vs. teams currently at .500 or better, and are 39-63 (.385) in those games…in contrast, the Rays are 20-17 (.541) vs. teams currently under .500…if the standings remain as they are, they would finish the season with 121 games vs. clubs .500 or better, the most since Baltimore in 2010 (123).

SINCE THE BREAK—The Rays are 25-26 (.490) since the All Star Break after going 34-54 (.386) in the first half…the Rays 3.62 ERA is 4th best in the majors since the break…the Rays were 24th in ERA (4.57) the first half…since the break, the Rays hold the majors’ 3rd-best run differential (+44, 245-201) behind the Red Sox (+85) and the Cubs (+82)…Rays had an AL-worst -74 run differential before the All-Star break.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS—Erasmo Ramirez’s record fell to 6-11 as a re-liever (won his only start) with last night’s 5-4 loss…his 17 decisions are the most by an AL reliever since 2005 when LAA Scot Shields was 10-11 and MIN Jesse Crain was 12-5…his 11 losses are a club record for a reliever and the most by a major league reliever since Shields’ 11 in 2005.

Ê Became the first pitcher to allow a pair of walk-off homers in a single season against the Yankees since DET Willie Hernandez in 1988.

RAYS vs. YANKEES—Rays trail in the season series, 7 games to 6…Rays have outscored New York, 63-49…Rays were 7-12 last season, their only losing campaign vs. the Yankees in the last seven years…the Rays 65-59 (.527) record vs. NYY since 2010 is the best among AL teams…Rays come to Yankee Stadium having lost their last six series here while going 6-13…this is the Rays 14th 4-game series in the Bronx, and they have won only two (1999 and 2005)…they are 32-39 at new Yankee Stadium after going 26-65 at the original…the Rays have outhomered the Yankees all-time in this park, 95-90.

I LOVE NEW YORK—Evan Longoria’s 11 hits here this season are tied with TOR Edwin Encarnacion for the most by a visiting player…on Aug 14, he passed Nick Markakis as the all-time leader in career hits among visiting players at the new Yankee Stadium…Evan has 75 hits here…his 47 career RBI here are the most by a visiting player and his 15 HR are tied with Encarnacion and BOS David Ortiz for 2nd most among visitors behind TOR Jose Bautista (17)…of his 31 HR overall vs. the Yankees, 29 have come as a 3B…only one third baseman has hit more career home runs vs. NYY: Brooks Robinson (34)…in Longo’s career, he has played 59 games at 3B in either new or old Yankee Stadium and has made only one error.

LONGORIA ON TRACK FOR BEST SEASON WITH BAT, GLOVE—Longoria’s throwing error on Wed vs. BAL snapped a 32-game error-less streak…he has made only 3 in his last 79 games…he has not made an error on the road since June 4 at MIN (also a 32-game streak)…his .977 fielding pct. currently ranks as a career-high…offensively, he is only 2 HR, 19 hits and 8 XBH shy of matching his career highs…only one AL third baseman has finished a season with at least 30 home runs and a .977 field-ing pct.: CWS Joe Crede in 2006 (30, .978).

MUSCLING THEIR WAY—The Rays have hit 16 home runs in their last 9 games and 41 in their last 25 (13-12)…Rays 4 HR last night move them into 3rd place all-time in club his-tory with 188…Rays are 11 shy of the club re-cord (see chart)…Rays are 7th in the majors in HR, but rank 22nd in runs scored.

DUFFY TO HAVE SURGERY TODAY—SS Matt Duffy will undergo left heel surgery today in Charlotte, N.C. …Dr. Bob Anderson, team orthope-dist for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, will perform the surgery…Duffy will return to Tampa on Saturday and miss the remainder of the season.

THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY—September 9, 2012…Melvin Upton Jr. ties the club record with 3 home runs (all solo) in a 6-0 win over Texas…it remains one of four 3-HR games in Rays history…the three homers back James Shields’ complete game two-hitter.

ALEXEI THE VI—Last night, Alexei Ramirez became the sixth different shortstop to play for the Rays this season, tied with Boston and San Diego for most in the majors.

HAPPY 57th BIRTHDAY TO RAYS BENCH COACH TOM FOLEY!—Fo has worn the Rays uniform in 2,406 regular season games and all 30 post-season games, more than anyone in club history.

TONIGHT’S STARTER—LH BLAKE SNELL (5-7, 3.39)

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER Ê Already has more wins (139) than any of the 4 prev. managers in their first

two seasons at the post (Lou Piniella, 133)…38-year-old is the youngest active manager in the majors, 5 months younger than SD Andy Green.

Ê Has been ejected 4 times as manager, once this year (April 29 vs. TOR). Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager

in ML history and second to manage the Rays…joins Hall of Famers Al

Lopez and Tony La Russa, Lou Piniella, Dave Miley and John Hart. Ê Played 12 professional seasons as a catcher, including parts of eight sea-

sons in the majors (2002-10)…spent two years (2005-06) in the Rays org. Ê Played in the 1989 Little League World Series (Tampa Northside LL),

TOMORROW’S STARTER—RH CHRIS ARCHER (8-17, 4.06) Ê LAST START—On Sun vs. NYY, left with a 3-1 lead with 2 runners on

base in the 7th before Brad Boxberger allowed his inherited runners to score on Devon Travis’ 2-run single…earned ND in the 5-3 victory, missing a chance to become the first 17-game loser to defeat a 17-game winner since DET Jack Morris beat CAL Chuck Finley on Sep 18, 1990, a 3-2 final at Anaheim Stadium…his line: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R/ER, 1 BB, 9 SO, 105 pitches, 62 strikes.

Ê STRIKEOUTS—Leads the AL with 211 SO, ahead of DET Justin Ver-lander (209)…has totaled more SO than IP in 6 consecutive starts beginning Aug 6 vs. MIN, totaling 50 SO in 37.2 IP in that span…has reached double-digit strikeouts 6 times, one shy of AL leader BOS David Price (7)…has done it 15 times since the start of 2015, tied with CWS Chris Sale for the AL over the last two seasons.

Ê BETTER SINCE THE BREAK—Is 4-5 with a 3.03 ERA (65.1-IP, 22-ER) in 10 starts since the All-Star break to lower his season ERA from 4.66 to 4.06—his lowest since he had a 3.60 ERA after his Opening Day start vs. TOR…has pitched into the 7th inning in 6 of those 10 starts in the second half, compared to 4 of 19 starts before the break…

is attempting to win consecutive decisions for the first time since April 25–May 17 (3 straight).

Ê LOSSES—Leads the AL with 17 losses and is tied with SD/CWS James Shields for the major league lead…is one shy of tying Tanyon Sturtze’s 2002 club record (18)…his career high prior to this season was 13 (2015)…the last pitcher to reach his combination of losses and strikeouts was MIN/NYM Frank Viola in 1989 (17-L, 211-SO)…only one AL pitcher has ever finished the season leading the league in both strikeouts and losses: CAL Nolan Ryan (1976).

Ê vs. YANKEES—Is 5-4 with a 2.52 ERA (82-IP, 23-ER) in 12 career apps (all starts)…last faced them Aug 12 here, a 6-3 loss to CC Sa-bathia, totaling 6 IP, 7 H, 5 R/ER, 0 BB, 9 SO, 1 HR, 108 pit, 72 str…first 6 starts (2013-14): 5-0, 1.93 ERA, 42 IP, 27 H, 9 ER, 5 BB, 25 SO…last 6 starts (2015-16): 0-4, 3.15 ERA, 40 IP, 31 H, 14 ER, 14 BB, 44 SO…seeking his first win since Sep 9, 2014 (here)…has lost his last 4 straight starts and is seeking first win since Sep 9, 2014…is 3-2 with a 2.85 ERA (47.1-IP, 15-ER) in 7 career starts at Yankee Stadium, including a CG SHO on July 27, 2013.

Ê LAST START—On Sat vs. TOR, allowed only 2 hits, both singles in the 3rd inning (Travis, Encarnacion)…facing an entirely right-handed lineup (8 righties, 1 switch), became the first lefty starter to hold the Blue Jays without an extra-base hit since NYY CC Sabathia on May 26…threw 64 pitches over the first 3 innings, compared to only 40 pitches over the last 3 frames…retired his last 10 batters faced, 6 via strikeout…completed 6 IP for the first time since July 24 at OAK (6.2)…had failed to finish 4 IP in 3 of his prev. 4 starts.

Ê STRIKEOUTS—His 9.57 SO/9 IP ratio (74.1-IP, 79-SO) would be the highest for a rookie (min. 10 starts) in franchise history…is tops among AL rookies and 2nd among ML rookies this season (see chart).

Ê NO HOMERS CLUB—Has allowed 4 HR in 74.1 IP for a 0.48 HR/9 IP ratio, 1st among rookies and 4th in the majors (min. 10 starts) be-hind OAK/LAD Rich Hill (0.20), LAD Clayton Kershaw (0.45) and PIT Gerrit Cole (0.47)…the franchise record for a rookie is 0.58, by Scott Kazmir in 2005…all have been hit by righties, and three of his 4 HR have come with runners on base…opened his career with 4 straight starts without a homer—2nd-longest to start a player’s career in club history to James Shields (6).

Ê HELP WANTED—Exited the game Sat vs. TOR with a 5-1 lead, just the fourth time in 15 starts this year he’s received more than 3 runs of support…has received 5.21 R/9 IP of run support (74.1-IP, 43-RS), a number heavily inflated by starts of 12 and 10 runs of support…has had 6 starts with no run support…has received a total of 3 runs of support in his 7 losses, 37 runs in his 5 wins and 3 runs in his 3 ND.

Ê BREAKS & BRUISES—Hasn’t hit a batter in any of his 15 starts…only

one Rays pitcher has started their major league career with a longer such streak…Wade Davis went 16 starts without one in 2009-10.

Ê UNCLE CHARLIE—Opponents are batting .028 (1-for-36) with 21 SO in at-bats ending with his curveball…see chart—according to PITCHf/x, no pitcher in the majors has a lower opp avg. with any pitch (min. 30 at-bats ending with the pitch)…his only hit allowed with the curveball was a Marco Hernandez single on June 27 vs. BOS.

Ê SEASON HIGHLIGHTS—Has yielded 2 ER or fewer in 9 of his last 10 starts and 8 consecutive from July 7–Aug 22, the longest such streak by a rookie in club history, passing Matt Moore in 2012 (7).

Ê Has yielded 9 unearned runs, most of any AL rookie and one shy of Chris Archer (10) for the team lead, accounting for 24.3 pct. of his total runs allowed.

Ê Has faced a former Cy Young Award winner in 4 of his 15 ca-reer starts…he’s lost all 4 of those starts (against Corey Kluber, Justin Verlander, David Price and Dallas Keuchel)…those four opponents have combined for a 0.87 ERA (31-IP, 3-ER).

Ê RETURN TO THE SITE—On April 23 made his major league debut here in a spot start, the first Ray to make his major league debut with a start in Yankee Stadium (new or old)…his 6 SO were the most by a visit-ing pitcher in his debut at Yankee Stadium since BOS Robinson Checo on Sep 16, 1997…twice struck out Alex Rodriguez, who he grew up watching outside Seattle…only run scored on a 1st-inning WP…left with a 2-1 lead but earned ND, becoming the third Ray to leave his ML debut in line for a win and not get it, following Wade Davis (Sep 6, 2009) vs. DET and Andy Sonnanstine (June 5, 2007 vs. TOR).

Ê Recalled on Tuesday for his 4th stint with the Rays this year (also Opening Day–May 22, June 17-24 and Aug 28)…had a 3.03 ERA in Durham.

#40 KEVIN JEPSEN, RH Last App: 9/7 vs. BAL (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 7-11 vs. LH: .333 (23-69), 7-HR2016: 2-6-7, 5.48 ERA, 55 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 8/22 vs. BOS IR-RS: 15-4 vs. RH: .300 (36-120), 4-HR

Ê Had a perfect 6th on Wed vs. BAL…has allowed run(s) in 6 of his last 10 apps since Aug 15, pitching to a 7.00 ERA (9-IP, 7-ER) over that span. Ê Is 0-1-0 with a 4.24 ERA (17-IP, 8-ER) in 22 apps with the Rays, compared to 2-5-7 with a 6.16 ERA (30.2-IP, 21-ER) in 33 apps with the Twins. Ê His 11 HR allowed rank T-4th among AL relievers…his allowed 16 HR since 2015, compared to 16 HR in parts of 7 seasons with LAA (2008-14). Ê Is the fourth pitcher to have two separate stints with the Rays, returning after pitching for another organization in between…he joined Dan Wheeler,

Trever Miller and Grant Balfour…he signed with the Rays on July 15, two days after being released by the Twins (DFA’ed by MIN on July 3).

#58 JUSTIN MARKS, LH Last App: -- Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: --Triple-A: 7-11-0, 3.86 ERA, 25 G, 23 GS Long Relief App: -- IR-RS: -- vs. RH: --

Ê Was selected to the active roster on Tuesday (Hank Conger DFA)…is his second career major league stint, as he accumulated 4 days’ service time with the Royals in 2014 and made 1 relief app (April 20, 2014 vs. MIN)…he told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times this spring that the Royals sent him two framed shadow boxes of memorabilia—jersey, lineup cards, game balls, tickets—plus a partial playoff share and an AL champions ring.

Ê According to Baseball Reference, he is currently one of 541 pitchers to appear in the majors for exactly one game before returning to the minors. Ê Went 7-11 with a 3.86 ERA (140-IP, 60-ER) in 25 apps (23 starts) with Triple-A Durham…had a 9-inning no-hitter on July 16 at Syracuse (130 pit.).

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 9/8 at NYY (L, 0.0-IP, 1-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO, 1-HR) Saves-Opps: 1-5 vs. LH: .306 (34-111), 7-HR2016: 7-11-1, 3.84 ERA, 57 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 3.0, 8/9 at TOR IR-RS: 30-5 vs. RH: .256 (51-199), 6-HR

Ê Took his 11th loss yesterday at NYY, a franchise record for a reliever and the most for a reliever in the majors since LAA Scot Shields in 2005 (11)…yielded a full-count, walk-off homer to Tyler Austin, his only batter faced…he also yielded a walk-off homer to Brett Gardner on April 23, becoming the first pitcher to allow a pair of walk-off homers in a single season against the Yankees since Willie Hernandez did it for the Tigers in 1988.

Ê Has yielded 13 HR, most among AL relievers and the most by a Rays reliever since Al Reyes (13) in 2007…the club record for a reliever is 14. Ê Leads the AL with 76.1 relief innings, 4 IP more than HOU Chris Devenski (72.1)…has made a major-league-most 32 relief apps of 4 outs or more—

eight more than anyone else…his 19 relief apps of 2 IP are also the most in the majors and are the most by a Ray since J.P. Howell in 2008 (23). Ê His 6 wins as a reliever (also won his only start on April 16 vs. CWS) are one shy of the club record for a reliever (last J.P. Howell in 2009).

#45 ENNY ROMERO, LH Last App: 9/8 at NYY (0.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-2 vs. LH: .241 (14-58), 1-HR2016: 2-0-1, 5.44 ERA, 48 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 4x-last 6/17 vs. SF IR-RS: 22-6 vs. RH: .227 (22-97), 4-HR

Ê Got 2 outs on 4 pitches to start the 9th inn. yesterday at NYY…has yielded 6 runs over his last 4 apps (4 on Sep 3 vs. TOR, 2 on Sep 6 vs. BAL). Ê Has pitched to an 1.57 ERA (23.0-IP, 4-ER) in 23 apps on the road compared to a 10.31 ERA (18.1-IP, 21-ER) in 25 apps at Tropicana Field. Ê Has issued 27 BB for a 5.88 BB/9 IP ratio, 2nd highest among AL relievers to OAK Marc Rzepczynski (6.00)…includes 18 BB in 18.1 IP at home. Ê Recorded his first career save on Aug 25 vs. BOS with a strikeout of David Ortiz, his only batter faced…got him swinging to end a 6-pitch at-bat.

#47 CHASE WHITLEY, RH Last App: -- Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: --Double-A: 2-1-0, 2.93 ERA, 6 GS Long Relief App: -- IR-RS: -- vs. RH: --

Ê Recalled from Double-A Montgomery on Sunday…hasn’t pitched in a major league game since May 14, 2015 at Tropicana Field (with NYY), when he was removed from his start following 1.2 IP and was placed on the 15-day DL the next day…underwent Tommy John surgery on May 19, 2015.

Ê Made a combined 9 starts between Montgomery and Class-A Charlotte (incl. rehab assignment) and went 2-1 with a 2.21 ERA (36.2-IP, 9-ER). Ê Over his major league career (all with the Yankees), he has gone 5-5 with a 5.02 ERA (95-IP, 53-ER) in 28 apps (16 starts).
