RAY MATTER—Today’s game concludes the 10-game homestand, and at 6-3 it will be the Rays first winning homestand of the season (3-0 vs. NYY, 2-2 vs. KC, 1-1 vs. MIN)…this leaves Arizona as the only team without a winning homestand this season…with last night’s 7-3 win, the Rays avoided falling behind the Twins for the worst record in the American League—a position they still have never held this late in the year in the Rays era (since 2008)…following today’s game, the Rays embark on a 6-game AL East road trip to Toronto (Aug 8-10) and New York (Aug 12-14). Ê The Rays are 11-8 over their last 19 games with a 2.47 ERA (171-IP, 47-ER) following their worst-ever 3-24 stretch that sent them from 31-32 (5.5 GB) on June 16 to 34-56 (19.5 GB) on July 16. Ê Over the last 17 games, Rays starters are 9-2 with a 1.77 ERA (107- IP, 73-H, 21-ER) and a .193 (73-for-379) opp avg. Ê The Rays have held their opponents to 3 runs or fewer in 11 of their last 12 games. Ê The Rays hold the majors’ worst record in one-run games, at 8-18 (.308)…the last team to finish a season with the bad of a record in one-run games was the 2008 Braves (11-30, .268). SINCE THE ALL-STAR BREAK—The Rays are 11-10 and have outscored their opponents by 35 runs (93-58), the largest run differential in the AL… Rays have yielded 3 runs or fewer in 17 of 21 games (including in 6 of their 10 losses)…in the first half of the season, they lost only 5 games when allowing 3 runs or fewer in 88 games…the pitching staff owns a 2.52 ERA (189-IP, 53-ER), 2nd in the majors behind the Cubs (2.38), while their start- ing pitchers lead the majors with a 2.31 ERA (132.2-IP, 34-ER) and 125 strikeouts…they have 16 quality starts in 21 games, compared to 35 in 88 games before the break. RAYS vs. TWINS—Last night the Rays clinched the season series for the sixth time in the past seven years (2010-16), and they lead 4-2 heading into today…the Rays are 33-16 (.673) during that stretch (14-9 at home, 19-7 at Target Field), their best record against any AL opponent with the excep- tion of Houston, who joined the AL in 2013…the Rays won 3 of 4 games at Target Field, June 2-5. Ê 3B Evan Longoria has 6 HR in 6 games vs. the Twins this season, tied with CLE Mike Napoli (in 13 games) for most in the majors this season…his 9 RBI are tied for 4th, one shy of the league co-leaders vs. MIN…has 14 HR in his career vs. MIN, his most vs. a non-divi- sional foe, coming against 14 different pitchers. MUSCLE MEN—The Rays hit 3 HR last night and have 14 in 9 games on the homestand…their 142 HR this season are their most ever through 109 games (prev. 138 in 2009)…the Rays are on pace for 211 HR, well ahead of the club record (199 in 2009)…in 3B Evan Longoria (24-HR) and INF Brad Miller (20), the Rays have a pair of 20-HR hitters for the first time since 2012 (Melvin Upton Jr. 28, Ben Zobrist 20)…Longoria is on pace for 36 HR, and Miller is on pace for 30…they are attempting to become the third set of Rays teammates to hit 30 HR in a season, following Longoria and Carlos Pena in 2009 and Jose Canseco and Fred McGriff in 1999. MILLER TIME—INF Brad Miller has 5 HR in his last 8 games played and 15 HR since June 11, which leads all major league short- stops and is tied for 2nd overall in the majors (see chart)…his 20 HR are a club record for a shortstop (min. 50 pct. games at SS) and rank 3rd among major league shortstops behind COL Trevor Story (27) and OAK Marcus Semien (22)…Miller’s 43 extra-base hits are tied with HOU Carlos Correa for most among AL short- stops and put him on pace for 64 XBH, which would shatter Julio Lugo’s club record of 52 (2004) for a shortstop…Miller has 9 XBH over the last 11 games. HOMEGROWN HOMER—C Bobby Wilson, born in Dunedin and raised in Seminole, last night became the second player born in Pinellas County to hit a home run for the Rays…his Seminole High School teammate, 1B Casey Kotchman, hit 10 HR for the Rays in 2011…last night was Wil- son’s fourth homer of the season (3 with Texas), matching his career high (2010)…he had 2 RBI last night in his Rays season debut—in his 25-game stint with the Rays last year, he totaled 0 HR and 4 RBI. ELIAS SAYS—Last night leadoff man 2B Logan Forsythe stole a base in the 1st inning and homered in the 7th inning…It was the third time this season that Forsythe has provided a home run and a stolen base from the top of the lineup…the only other leadoff batter with as many games of that kind in 2016 is CLE Rajai Davis (4). K’s FOR KIDS—For the second straight season, every strikeout RH Chris Archer records will benefit both Burg Baseball Inc. and RBI Baseball of Tampa…for every strikeout, the Rays and 10News WTSP each donate $25 to be split among the youth leagues…fans wishing to donate can visit at raysbaseball.com/archer, with a minimum pledge of 25 cents…with Ar- cher’s American League-leading 168 strikeouts this season, the Rays and WTSP have donated $12,600. Ê Archer reclaimed the AL strikeout lead last night (168), passing DET Justin Verlander (164), and still leads the majors in losses (15)… only one pitcher has finished the season leading the AL in both cat- egories: Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan for the Angels in 1976. FLASHING HIS PLATINUM—Since returning from the DL immediately fol- lowing the All-Star break, CF Kevin Kiermaier leads all major league out- fielders with 67 putouts…despite only 58 games in CF, he is tied for 2nd among AL center fielders with 12 Defensive Runs Saved, trailing only TOR Kevin Pillar (17 DRS in 109 games). CLOSING THE DOOR—All-Star RH Alex Colome is 27-for-28 in save op- portunities…he ranks T-3rd in the AL in saves and 2nd in save pct. (96.4) behind BAL Zach Britton (100.0)…he has saved 7 of the Rays last 8 wins… has a 0.94 ERA (28.2-IP, 3-ER) in save situations, compared to a 4.76 ERA (11.1-IP, 6-ER) otherwise. ROCK THE CATWALK—This season has seen 12 balls strike the catwalks in fair territory at Tropicana Field, most since 2005 (12) and one shy of the record for a single season (13 in 2001 and 2000). OVERDUE FOR A WALK-OFF—The Rays haven’t hit a walk-off home run in more than two years, since May 22, 2014 vs. OAK (Sean Rodriguez)— the longest active drought in the majors (Arizona next, May 26, 2014). NEWS OF THE INFIRMED—SS Matt Duffy (left Achilles strain) will join Triple-A Durham today…he will play shortstop vs. Gwinnett (Braves)…they are off tomorrow and he will play Tue-Wed at Pawtucket (Red Sox)…1B Logan Morrison (right forearm strain) and OF Oswaldo Arcia (right elbow strain) will work out tomorrow with Class-A Charlotte at Jupiter (Marlins)… RH Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) will throw a bullpen session today and RH Chase Whitley (Tommy John surgery) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday with Double-A Montgomery at Tennessee (Cubs). THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORYAugust 7, 1998Wade Boggs homers off Indians LH Chris Haney in the 6th inning at Tropicana Field, becoming the 23rd member of the 3,000-hit club and the first to do it with a home run… it is Wade’s third hit of the day in a game won by the Indians 15-10 that features 33 hits and 11 walks. ICHIRO ON THE BRINK—Eighteen years after Wade Boggs delivered his 3,000th hit in this building, Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki is one hit away from joining the 3,000-hit club when he starts today at at Coors Field at 4:10 p.m. ET…Ichiro would be one of eight members of the 3,000-hit club to play at Tropicana Field, joining Boggs, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Paul Mo- litor, Cal Ripken Jr., Rickey Henderson and Rafael Palmeiro…Ichiro’s .282 career average vs. the Rays is his lowest against any AL club except the Mariners (.234), who he played for for 12 seasons. ANOTHER LEGEND IN THE NEWS—Yankees DH Alex Rodriguez has 56 HR in his career vs. the Rays, more than any other opposing player (BOS David Ortiz is 2nd with 51)…30 of those have come at Tropicana Field, which ranks 2nd among opposing players to Ortiz (33)…he’s hit the catwalks in fair territory five times, most of any visiting player…when the Rays franchise played their inaugural game in 1998, A-Rod was 22 years old and had already amassed 64 HR…he played his first 2 games as a Yankee against the Devil Rays at the Tokyo Dome on Opening Day 2004.

Ê FIRST SHUTOUT—On May 14 vs. OAK, had his first professional complete game shutout, having never gone more than 8 IP in the minors…the 26-year-old remains the youngest AL pitcher to throw a CG SHO this season…he became the fourth different Rays pitcher to throw a shutout on 2 H or fewer and 0 BB, joining James Shields (twice), Chris Archer and Drew Smyly.

Ê WITH DURHAM—Was 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA (34.1-IP, 13-ER) over his 6 starts for the Bulls…started their second game of the season (follow-ing Opening Day starter Blake Snell) and allowed 4 ER in 5.1 IP…al-lowed 3 ER or fewer in 5 straight starts after that, a 2.79 ERA over that span…had a career-high 14 SO in his last start before his recall…had his first career CG on April 23 at Norfolk (BAL), a 1-0 loss in 7 innings.
