Percentage of Wins with a Save, MLB, Since 1969 Tampa Bay, 2015 46 SV 57 W 80.7 Florida, 1993 48 SV 64 W 75.0 Chicago-AL, 1990 68 SV 94 W 72.3 Atlanta, 2015 36 SV 51 W 70.6 Atlanta, 2014 54 SV 79 W 68.3 Ê The Rays bullpen leads the majors with 46 saves (tied with St. Lou- is)…the club record is 52 (2008)…last night LH Xavier Cedeno be- came the 7th Rays pitcher to record a save this season, tied with Joe Maddon’s Cubs for most in the majors.

MORE FROM ELIAS—RH Erasmo Ramirez threw 7 shutout innings last night, lowering his ERA to 3.59…that ERA is 1.67 lower than his final ERA of the 2014 season (5.26)—the second-largest decrease from last season to this season (min. 75 IP each season), behind BOS Clay Buchholz (-2.08). EN FUEGO—Since returning from the DL on July 28, SS Asdrubal Ca- brera leads the majors with a .478 batting avg. and .520 OBP…he’s 22- for-46 with 7 2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI and 13 R during that span, raising his season batting avg. from .223 to .256…has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, and recorded multiple hits in 7 of his last 8. TRENDING—The Rays are 39-25 (.609) when they don’t commit an error, and 18-31 (.353) when they do—largest discrepancy in the AL.

Ê LAST START—On Fri vs. NYM, went 6.2 IP, his longest start since May 25 vs. SEA (7 IP), and third straight start of at least 6 IP, after failing to last that long in his previous 4 starts…only run allowed was a solo homer to Juan Uribe on his 91st pitch…was the 9th time in his 18 starts he’s yielded 1 run or fewer…his line: ND, 6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 SO, 1 HR, 102 pitches, 65 strikes.

Ê HE LIKES IT HERE—Ranks 3rd in the majors (min. 40 IP) with a 1.40 ERA (51.1-IP, 8-ER) at home (see chart)…has made 8 home starts this season, allow-ing 1 run or fewer in 7 of those 8, but the Rays are only 4-4 in his home starts…has gotten 2.28 R/9 IP of run support at home, 3rd-lowest in the majors (see chart).

Ê Has yielded 1 earned run or fewer in 10 of his last 11 home starts, since Aug 30, 2014 vs. BOS…is 5-2 with a 1.13 ERA (71.2-IP, 9-ER) at home over that span.

Ê Has a 2.21 ERA (151-IP, 37-ER) at Tropicana Field since the start of last season, 4th in the AL over that span (min. 80 IP)…comparatively, has a 5.23 ERA (127.1-IP, 74-ER) on the road during that time frame.

Ê INTERLEAGUE—Is 3-3 with a 3.25 ERA (52.2-IP, 19-ER) in 9 career interleague apps (all starts), having allowed 2 runs or fewer in his last 7 IL starts (since June 10, 2014 vs. STL)…is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA (26.2-IP, 15-ER) in 5 career starts vs. NL East opponents.

Ê SINCE HIS RETURN—Is 2-1 with a 3.48 ERA (33.2-IP, 13-ER) in 6 starts since returning from the 15-day DL (left oblique strain)…has al-lowed 3 runs or fewer in 5 of those 6 starts, but a season-high 6 on July 17 at TOR…this stretch has increased his season ERA from 2.47 to 2.77, which still ranks 6th in the AL (min. 75 IP).

Ê UNSUPPORTED—Has received the 4th-lowest run support in the AL (min. 10 starts) at 3.10 R/9 IP (110.1-IP, 38-RS)…currently ranks as the

3rd-lowest in club history, ahead of Mark Hendrickson (2.71) and Jae Seo (2.90), both in 2006…the Rays have scored 2 runs or fewer for him 13 times in 18 starts and have given him a total of 7 runs in his 6 losses.

Ê COBBYCAT—32.0 pct. of his pitches have been changeups, most in the AL (min. 60 IP), according to FanGraphs…has 41 strikeouts with the changeup, accounting for 44.1 percent of his total strikeouts…borrowed his changeup grip from Alex Cobb in the 2013-14 offseason.

Ê Opponents are batting .209 (34-for-163) with 5 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR and 41 SO in at-bats ending with the changeup, per PITCHf/x.

Ê 1ST INNING—Has allowed 1st-inning run(s) in 4 of his last 9 starts…has a 4.00 ERA (18-IP, 8-ER) in the 1st inning this season, and a 2.53 ERA (92.1-IP, 26-ER) after that…has thrown at least 20 pitches in the 1st eight times.

Ê ABOUT THAT RECORD—The pitcher with the lowest ERA in club history to finish with a .500 record or lower was Jeremy Hellickson (10-11, 3.10) in 2012…in his career, is 17-21 (.447) with a 3.65 ERA—only two other active pitchers (min. 50 starts) have an ERA as low and a lower career winning pct.: SD Tyson Ross and SD Andrew Cashner.

Ê GROUNDED—Has a 1.15 GB/FB ratio this season, below the AL aver-age (1.42), but up considerably from his 0.65 GB/FB ratio last season—2nd lowest in the majors to SEA Chris Young (0.42)…has gotten 5 GIDP behind him this season, compared to 1 in 2014.

Ê THE LONG BALL—Has allowed 4 HR in 5 starts since the All-Star break, compared to 5 HR in 13 starts before it…has held righties to a lower batting avg. than lefties—and RHB have fewer AB against him than LHB—but 8 of his 9 HR have been hit by right-handed batters.

Ê WANTED MAN—As a prospect, was twice included in trades for an All-Star pitcher…the Brewers traded him to Kansas City on Dec 19, 2010 in a six-player deal for Zack Greinke…two years later, the Royals traded him to the Rays in a seven-player deal for James Shields.

Ê TOP ROOKIE—In 2014, was named the Rays Rookie of the Year by the Tampa Bay Chapter of the BBWAA…led all major league rookies with 174 SO and 31 starts, and ranked 2nd with 168 IP…his 174 SO fell one shy of the club rookie record (175 by Matt Moore in 2012).
