TWO-TIME TIM—Last night SS Tim Beckham had his second career multi- HR game, both in a span of 7 games (April 26 at BAL)…is the fourth Ray all- time with a pair of multi-HR games within the team’s first 30 games, following Steven Souza Jr. (2016), Evan Longoria (2009) and Greg Vaughn (2000). Ê Beckham’s 6 HR have all come as a shortstop, tying COL Trevor Story for 2nd most in the majors behind CLE Francisco Lindor (7)…it also passes his 2016 season total (5 HR in 198 AB). Ê All 6 HR have come over his last 17 games, beginning April 16, tied for 3rd in the AL behind NYY Aaron Judge (10-HR) and TEX Joey Gallo (7) over that span…Beckham is batting .338/.371/.708 (22-for- 65) with 10 XBH and 15 RBI during this stretch.

EXTREME PATIENCE—The Rays lead the majors with 126 BB, their most in club history through 30 games (125 in 2010)…they drew 28 BB during the 4-game “home-and-home” series with the Marlins, which would have set a club record for a 4-game series if it was officially classified as a single series…the club record for a 4-game series remains 26 BB, set July 8-11, 2010 vs. CLE…the Rays have 58 BB in 10 games since the start of the last road trip…2B Brad Miller leads the AL with 25 BB and ranks 2nd in the majors, one behind WAS Bryce Harper…last season, he didn’t reach 25 BB until Aug 4 vs. KC, the team’s 107th game.

SCORING CHANGE—Upon further review from official scorer Bill Mathews and the Elias Sports Bureau, last night Marlins 2B Dee Gordon was denied his 5th-inning stolen base and instead was charged with a caught steal- ing…Gordon slid into 2B ahead of the tag but overslid, and upon realizing that he would not be able to get back to 2B without being tagged, attempted to advance to 3B and was out in a rundown…this has been changed to a CS since Gordon was out having never had control of 2B, and C Derek Norris is credited with an assist. RAYS OWN IRON MANEvan Longoria returns to 3B tonight for the first time since Sun at TOR…he started at DH the last 2 games vs. Miami after sitting out the 2 games at Miami (Mon-Tues)…since the start of the 2013 season, Longoria’s 670 games played lead the majors, followed by SEA Kyle Seager (664), NYY/SEA Robinson Canó (663) and LAA Mike Trout (661). MR. DURABLE—Tonight’s starter RH Chris Archer leads the majors with 128 starts since June 1, 2013, the day he was recalled for good…following him on that list is DET/WAS Max Scherzer (127) and former teammate James Shields (126)…Shields entered this season as the major league leader over that span, but is currently on the DL with a strained right lat.

Ê Three times this season Archer has gone at least 7 IP and yielded 2 runs or fewer, tied for the 3rd most such starts in the AL behind HOU Dallas Keuchel (6) and BOS Chris Sale (5)…he had one such start all of last season—Aug 17 vs. SD (7.1-IP, 0-R/ER). COREY DICKERSON—Has 12 multi-hit games, 2nd in the AL to NYY Star- lin Castro (13) and most by a Ray through 30 games since Evan Longoria in 2010 (12)…he ranks among AL leaders in avg. (.324, 8th), hits (33, 6th), doubles (9, T-3rd), XBH (15, T-4th), total bases (60, 5th), SLG (.588, 9th) and OPS (.961, 9th)…vs. LHP, 7 of his 11 hits have gone for extra bases (6-2B, 1-HR)…has 5 HR out of the No. 1 spot in the batting order, T-4th in the majors and 2nd in the AL to HOU George Springer (7). 429 AND COUNTING—Tonight’s start by RH Chris Archer will be the 429th consecutive Rays game started by a pitcher under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors…35-year-old LH Erik Bedard (July 3, 2014 at DET) was the last 30-plus pitcher to start a game for the Rays… entering today, since June 26, 2006, the Rays have started a pitcher under the age of 30 in 1,663 of their last 1,737 games (96 pct.) including a streak of 764 games over 2007-11. Ê The Rays have used only 29 different starting pitchers in the Rays era (since 2008), fewest in the majors…the Giants are next with 32; the Indians are the next fewest in the AL with 39…Toronto has used 51…LAD and SD have used the most (65 each). JONRONES DE CINCO DE MAYO—According to notes guru Bill Arnold, former Rays 1B Fred McGriff hit 5 HR on Cinco de Mayo, tied for 4th in major league history behind Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt (7), Hank Aaron (6) and Frank Robinson (6).
