SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2016 at NEW YORK YANKEESRH Matt Andriese (6-7, 4.58) vs. RH RH Luis Cessa (4-0, 4.07)

RAY MATTER—The Rays have lost the first 3 games of this 4-game se-ries kicking off their season-long 11-game road trip to New York, Toronto and Baltimore…the Rays have scored 10 runs in the series and have hit 7 home runs, all solo…they have out-hit the Yankees, 30-25, but have gone 3-for-23 with runners in scoring position…the Rays have lost 6 of their last 7 games while pitching to a 6.38 ERA (60.2-IP, 43-ER)…Rays have fallen to 23 games under .500, matching their season-low (also 46-69 on Aug 13)…the Rays suffered their 82nd loss yesterday dooming them to their third straight losing season…it’s the first time that has happened since 2005-07.

SERIES SLIDE—The Rays are now 1-5-2 in 4-game series play (including this series loss) this season and have been swept in two four-game series: at Baltimore from June 24-26 and vs. Detroit from June 30–July 3…Rays are now 0-6-1 in their last seven road series (of any length) since winning 2 of 3, July 18-20 at COL…they haven’t won a series in an AL park since June 2-5 at MIN, having lost 9 straight series in AL parks since then.

E-WORD—The Rays will be eliminated from the AL East Division champi-onship race with any combination of 2 Rays losses or wins by first-place Boston…any combination of 4 Rays losses or wins by the second Wild Card leader (currently Baltimore) would eliminate them from Wild Card contention.

IN GOOD COMPANY—With six strikeouts yesterday, Chris Archer extend-ed his AL lead in strikeouts (217)…he is attempting to become the first Ray to lead the AL in strikeouts…he was also saddled with his major-league-high 18th loss yesterday, tying the club record (joining Tanyon Sturtze in 2002)…in major league history, there have been only 12 pitchers to lead their league in strikeouts and lose 18 or more games…of those 12 pitchers, 8 are in the Hall of Fame: most recently was Phil Niekro with Atlanta in 1986…also No-lan Ryan with California in 1976, Warren Spahn with Boston-NL in 1952, Dizzy Dean with St. Louis in 1933; Walter Johnson with Washington in 1914 and 1916, Ed Walsh with Chicago-AL in 1910, Rube Waddell with Philadel-phia-AL in 1904 and Vic Willis with Boston-NL in 1902.

MUSCLING THEIR WAY—The Rays have hit 19 home runs in their last 11 games and 44 in their last 27 (13-14)…Bobby Wilson’s solo HR yesterday was the Rays 191st of the season, pushing them past 2006 for the 2nd most home runs in a season in club history behind the 199 homers hit by the 2009 Rays…Rays are 7th in the majors in HR, but rank 22nd in runs scored.

SOUZA ONE OF ONLY 3—Steven Sou-za Jr. has hit 3 home runs in this series and has 5 at Yankee Stadium this sea-son…he is one of only 3 visiting players to hit 5 HR (or more) in a season at new Yankee Stadium (since 2009), joining TB Evan Longoria (5, 2013) and CLE/SEA Russell Branyan (6, 2010)…over the past 25 years, he is one of seven visitors with 5 HR (or more) at Yankee Stadium (new or original)…the record for most by a visitor in a season at Yankee Stadium (new or old) is 7 by CWS Joe Kuhel in 1940.

KK STREAKING—CF Kevin Kiermaier has a career-high 13-game hitting streak, 2nd longest current streak in the AL behind MIN Brian Dozier (14)…batting .407 (22-for-54) during his streak to raise his avg. from .219 to .252, highest it’s been since April 8…it is the Rays longest streak since 2013, when Luke Scott had a 13-game streak and James Loney and Evan Longoria both had 16-game streaks…in his last 18 PA, he has reached 14 times going 10-for-14 with 4 BB and 3 HR…KK also has a 10-game hitting streak in this park, the 7th streak of at least 10 games in club history in ei-ther new or original Yankee Stadium…his .455 average in September leads the majors (min 25 PA).

RIGHT IN THE THICK OF IT—The Rays are 22 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 9-13 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 104 games vs. teams currently at .500 or better, and are 39-65 (.382) 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—Since the All-Star break, the Rays hold the majors’ 4th-best run differential (+38, 251-213) behind the Red Sox (+94), Cubs (+83) and Nationals (+39), but are 25-28 (.472)…Rays were 34-54 (.386) in the first half with an AL-worst -74 run differential…the Rays 3.73 ERA is 6th in the majors since the break…they were 24th in ERA (4.57) the first half.

RAYS vs. YANKEES—Rays trail in the season series, 9 games to 6 and must win the four remaining games in order to avoid back-to-back losing seasons to the Yankees, something that hasn’t happened since 2008-09…Rays were 7-12 in 2015…this season, the Rays have outscored New York, 69-61…the Rays 65-61 (.516) record vs. NYY since 2010 is the best among AL teams…Rays have lost their last seven series here while going 6-15…this is the Rays 14th 4-game series in the Bronx, and they have won only two (1999 and 2005)…they are 32-41 at new Yankee Stadium after going 26-65 at the original…the Rays have outhomered the Yankees all-time in this park, 98-94.

I LOVE NEW YORK—Evan Longoria’s 12 hits here this season are 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 Sta-dium…Evan has 76 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 base-man has hit more career home runs vs. NYY: Brooks Robinson (34)…in Longo’s career, he has played 61 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 last Wed vs. BAL snapped a 32-game errorless streak…he has made only 3 errors in his last 81 games…he has not made an error on the road since June 4 at MIN (a 34-game streak)…his .977 field-ing pct. currently ranks as a career-high…offensively, he is only 2 HR, 18 hits and 8 XBH shy of matching his career highs…only one AL third base-man has finished a season with at least 30 home runs and a .977 fielding pct.: CWS Joe Crede in 2006 (30, .978).

UP NEXT, AT TORONTO—The Rays travel to Toronto for the final series of the season between the two starting tomorrow at Rogers Centre…the Rays are 4-2 there this year and despite getting shutout in their last game at Rogers Centre on Aug 10, are averaging 7.5 runs per game and are batting .319 (73-for-229) with 32 extra-base hits, including 21 doubles…Rays lead the overall season series, 9 games to 7 and need one win to clinch their 8th winning season vs. TOR in the last 9…Rays all-time mark of 174-156 (.527) is their 2nd best vs. an AL opponent (Houston, .615)…since Sep 30, 2007 the Rays are 100-64 (.609)…Rays are 76-88 (.463) all-time at TOR, but 39-31 (.557) since 2009.

CHASE-ING—He has yet to pitch for the Rays, but when he does former Yankee Chase Whitley will become the 13th pitcher to return to the majors this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and the second Ray, joining Alex Cobb…it’s been 505 days since he last appeared in a major league game (for the Yankees in a 6-1 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field on May 14, 2015).

THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY—September 11, 2001…The Devil Rays were preparing to begin a 3-game series at home with the Red Sox when the 9/11 attacks occurred…MLB postponed the next 7 days of games and the Rays didn’t play again until September 18 at BOS, the first game of an 8-game road trip that ended here…on Sep 25, in the first game at Yankee Stadium following the attacks, the Devil Rays (53-96) beat the Yankees (89-60) as Tanyon Sturtze—who entered with an 8-12 record—and Victor Zambrano combined for a 4-hit shutout…the Rays won 4-0 over Roger Clemens—who had a 20-1 record prior to that game…Tampa Bay’s third baseman for that game was Jared Sandberg and he is the only Devil Ray who was at that game that is present here today…he is currently the Man-ager at Triple-A Durham and is accompanying the Rays on this trip.

TOMORROW’S STARTER—RH JAKE ODORIZZI (9-6, 3.86) Ê LAST START—On Tue vs. BAL, absorbed his first loss since July 10

at BOS, the final game before the All-Star break…snapped a 6-game winning streak, his career high and tying Matt Andriese’s Rays sea-son high…yielded a season-high-tying 7 runs (also July 5 vs. LAA), incl. a 6-run 4th inn.—a career high for a single frame…was the first Ray to allow 6 runs (or more) on 3 hits (or fewer) in an inning since Tim Corcoran on Sep 13, 2005 vs. NYY (6th inning)…allowed a grand slam to Manny Machado, his first career XBH allowed with the bases loaded…tied his shortest start of the season (third time)…his line: 4 IP, 6 H, 7 R/ER, 3 BB, 2 SO, 2 HR, 1 HBP, 89 pitches, 53 strikes.

Ê Seven times this season he’s allowed 4 runs (or more) in an in-ning, most by a Ray since Jeremy Hellickson in 2013 (7).

Ê DURABILITY—Tuesday’s start vs. BAL snapped a streak of 20 starts of 5 IP or longer…had gone 6 IP or more in 8 of his prev. 9 starts…averaging 17.7 pitches per inning, 2nd highest among major league qualifiers to ARI Robbie Ray (18.1).

Ê TWO AWAY—Enters tomorrow’s start 2 SO shy of 500 for his career.

Ê vs. TORONTO—Is 3-2 with a 3.34 ERA (59.1-IP, 22-ER) in 10 career starts/apps…this season, is 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA (23-IP, 6-ER) in 4 starts…at Rogers Centre, is 2-2 with a 4.96 ERA (32.2-IP, 18-ER) in 6 career starts, including 1-0, 3.48 (10.1-IP, 4-ER) in 2 starts this year…last faced them on Aug 8 in Toronto, earning ND in the 7-5 loss…5.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR, 107 pit, 66 str.

Ê LAST START—On Mon vs. BAL, suffered a 7-3 loss to Ubaldo Jimenez, who threw a CG two-hitter…became the first Ray to allow 7-plus runs in consecutive apps since Erasmo Ramirez from April 10-15, 2015 at MIA, TOR, his first apps as a Ray…yielded 5 runs and 6 hits in the 5th, both career highs for an inning and the most by a Ray since Drew Smyly on May 31 at KC (5-run, 6-hit 4th)…was 1 strike away from escaping his 2-on, 0-out jam with no runs allowed…all 5 runs scored on 4 consecutive singles by Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo, Matt Wieters and Jonathan Schoop…fell to 0-3 with a 9.24 ERA (12.2-IP, 13-ER) in 5 career apps (2 starts) against the Orioles.

Ê SNAP THE SKID—Is 0-7 with a 6.11 ERA (56-IP, 38-ER) in his last 15 apps (8 starts)…prior to this stretch, had only 5 career losses in 35 apps (15 starts)…ties Drew Smyly (May 21–July 18) for the longest losing streak by a Ray this season…is the second player in club history with winning streaks and losing streaks of at least 6 games within the same season, following Chris Archer in 2015…the last Ray with an 8-game losing streak was Dan Wheeler (8) in 2007-08.

Ê Seeks his first win since June 15 vs. SEA, with 17 apps (8 starts) in between…was the fifth Ray to ever start a season at 6-0 or better, following LH Matt Moore (2013), RH Jeff Niemann (2010), LH J.P. Howell (2008) and RH James Shields (2007).

Ê Has allowed homers in 6 straight starts, one shy of Smyly from May 21–June 26 for longest streak by a Ray this year

Ê POWER BALL—Has allowed 20 XBH over his last 5 starts spanning 25.1 IP, 2nd in the majors over that span (since Aug 13) to CWS James Shields (21)…started the season yielding 2 HR over his first 67 IP, but since then he has allowed:

Ê 12 HR in his last 39 IP, since the 9th inning on July 19 at COL Ê 9 HR in his last 24.1 IP, since the 2nd inning on Aug 13 at NYY

Ê AUGUST STRUGGLES—Went 0-4 with a 7.76 ERA (29-IP, 25-ER) in 6 August starts, and opponents hit .323/.348/.606 (41-for-127) against

Ê STARTER vs. RELIEVER—His splits this season are a reversal of his splits from a season ago…has a 2.80-run difference between his ERA as a starter and a reliever this season:

ERA As Starter ERA As Reliever2016 5.18 (83.1-IP, 48-ER) 2.38 (22.2-IP, 6-ER)2015 3.57 (35.1-IP, 14-ER) 4.75 (30.1-IP, 16-ER)Career 4.70 (118.2-IP, 62-ER) 3.74 (53-IP, 22-ER)

Ê POTENTIAL TO PITCH DEEP—Within his first 5 starts of the season, he made 3 starts of 7-plus IP and 1 ER or fewer—but hasn’t done it in 10 starts since…last season, his longest start was 6 IP (once) and he failed to finish 5 IP in 5 of his 8 starts.

Ê Since Aug 15, has allowed run(s) in 7 of 11 apps for a 9.64 ERA (9.1-IP, 10-ER)…it follows a 1.13 ERA (8-IP, 1-ER) in his first 12 apps with TB. 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: 9/9 at NYY (3.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 5-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .000 (0-3)2016: 0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G Long Relief App: 3.0, 9/9 at NYY IR-RS: -- vs. RH: .000 (0-6)

Ê Made his second career app on Fri at NYY, following April 20, 2014 vs. MIN (with KC)…he went 872 days in between major league apps…yielded 5 BB, tying the club record for a reliever (11th time), but was their first to do that without allowing a run since Victor Zambrano on June 14, 2002 at FLA.

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.). Ê Was selected to the active roster on Tuesday as Hank Conger was designated for assignment…accumulated 4 days’ service time with the Royals

#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 on Thu at NYY, a club record for a reliever and the most for a reliever in the majors since LAA Scot Shields in 2005 (11)…yielded a walk-off homer to Tyler Austin, his only BF…marked the second time in his career he was on the mound for a walk-off loss (also April 23 at NYY, Gardner homer)…is the first pitcher to allow a pair of walk-off homers in a single season against the Yankees since DET Willie Hernandez in 1988.

Ê Has yielded 13 HR, most among AL relievers and the most by a Rays reliever since Al Reyes in 2007 (13)…the club record for a reliever is 14. Ê Leads the AL with 76.1 relief innings, 3 IP more than HOU Chris Devenski (73.1)…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).

Ê Has issued 27 BB for a 5.74 BB/9 IP ratio, 2nd highest among AL relievers to OAK Marc Rzepczynski (6.00)…includes 18 BB in 18.1 IP at home.

#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: --
