MONDAY, JULY 31, 2017 at HOUSTON ASTROSRH Alex Cobb (9-6, 3.46) vs. RH Charlie Morton (8-4, 3.83)

DEADLINE DAY—Major League Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline was today at 4 p.m. ET (3 p.m. CT)…the Rays traded INF Tim Beckham to Baltimore for minor league RH Tobias Myers (see release)…the Rays ac-quired four veteran players via trade since July 23 (RH Steve Cishek, 1B Lucas Duda, LH Dan Jennings, RH Sergio Romo) and six over the past six weeks (also SS Adeiny Hechavarria, INF Trevor Plouffe)—and all six of those players arrive with at least six seasons in the majors.

Ê The Rays have made 14 trades involving 40-man roster players since Jan 1, 2017, already their most in any calendar year (prev. 10 in 2007).

Ê Since the last time the Rays and Astros met (April 23 at home), the Rays have turned over 48 pct. their active roster (12 of 25)…seven of these 12 players were acquired by trade (the six listed above plus INF Taylor Featherston from the Phillies), they have activated three from the DL (RH Brad Boxberger, RH Tommy Hunter, C Wilson Ramos) and recalled two (RH Jake Faria, OF Mallex Smith).

Ê The Rays have already used 49 players this season, topping their 2016 total (48), and approaching the club record of 52 (2000)…they have used a club-record 28 pitchers (prev. 25 in 2015, 2006).

RAY MATTER—Yesterday’s 5-3 win over the Yankees snapped a 3-game losing streak to begin the road trip, snapped a 6-game losing streak at Yan-kee Stadium and avoided their first 4-game sweep since June 30–July 3, 2016 at DET…the Rays are 13-5-4 over their last 22 series, since May 12-14 at BOS, but have lost 8 of their last 11 games…the Rays and Yankees totaled 15 BB and 27 SO in yesterday’s game, which lasted 3 hours, 51 minutes…Rays hitters drew 8 BB but had 16 SO, matching their season high for a 9-inning game (4th time, last May 16 at CLE)…the pitching staff yielded 7 BB (their most in a 9-inning victory since June 14, 2016 vs. SEA; 7-0) but allowed only 4 hits…five Rays relievers—including this week’s new acquisitions RH Sergio Romo, LH Dan Jennings and RH Steve Cishek—totaled 5.0 scoreless innings, yielding only one hit.

Ê Rays starting pitchers own a 4.00 ERA (612-IP, 272-ER), 2nd in the AL to Houston (3.97).

Ê The Rays have held a lead in 87 of their 106 games (82.1 pct.), 3rd-highest rate in the majors behind Houston (90 of 104, 86.5 pct.) and Milwaukee (91 of 107, 85.0 pct.)…they have blown a lead in 33 of their losses, most in the AL…also of note, the Los Angeles Dodgers last night won their 52nd consecutive game in which they held a lead, extending their major league record.

Ê The Rays have outscored opponents 322-238 (+84) in innings 1-thru-5, but have been outscored 238-162 after that (-76).

FLIP THE CALENDAR—With a win tonight, the Rays can complete a win-ning month of July (currently 12-12) after going 9-16 in each of the last two Julys…it would also give them three straight months with a .500 or better record (17-13 in May, 13-13 in June) for the first time since July/Aug/Sep 2012 (13-13, 17-11, 17-10)…OF Steven Souza Jr.’s 7 HR in July are a career high for any month, rank T-5th in the AL and are one shy of the club record for July (8, 4x-last Carlos Peña in 2007)…RH Chris Archer’s 46 SO tied the club record for July set by RH James Shields in July 2012.

WHERE THEY STAND—With yester-day’s win, the Rays gained a game on both first-place New York (3.5 GB) and Boston (3.0 GB) in the AL East, and re-mained 2.5 GB of Kansas City for the second Wild Card position…this is the closest they’ve been to first place at least 106 games into the season since end of play Aug 30, 2013 (3.5 GB of first-place Boston)…this is their best record through 106 games since 2013 (63-43).

TESTING THEIR METTLE—After play-ing their first 12 games out of the All-Star break against sub-.500 teams (6-6), this road trip began a stretch of 17 games against five opponents in playoff contention, including the AL’s four best teams (by winning pct.): 1-3 at NYY, 4 games at HOU, 3 vs. MIL, 2 vs. BOS, 4 vs. CLE…the Rays are 3-7 so far in their stretch of 17 games in 17 days (July 21–Aug 6) and 30 games in 31 days (through Aug 20).

THE JUICE BOX SERIES—The Rays arrive in Houston to face the AL’s best team, as the Astros boast a 68-36 (.654) record…however, the Astros

lost the last 2 games in Detroit—their first time losing consecutive games since dropping 3 straight, June 11-13—including a 13-1 setback yester-day…Houston won 2 of 3 games from the Rays when they visited Tropicana Field, April 21-23…the Rays own a 25-17 (.595) record all-time…they are 12-7 at home, 13-10 in Houston…since the Astros joined the AL in 2013, Rays pitchers are 19-11 (.633) with a 2.34 ERA (272.2-IP, 188-H, 79-R, 71-ER, 87-BB, 294-SO, .195 opp avg.)—and 8 of those 19 wins have been shutouts…in 2016 they split the season series, 3-3, but the Rays had won the five straight season series prior to that (2010-11, 2013-15).

IN-GAME FIREWORKS?—Rays pitchers enter this series against the major league home run leaders having allowed a homer in 17 consecutive games, tying the longest streak in club history (also April 18–May 6, 2004 and Sep 5-22, 2002)…they have yielded 27 HR total over this stretch…the Rays offense ranks 4th in the AL with 152 HR, trailing Houston (169), Texas (158) and New York (153)…the Rays are on pace for a club-record 232 HR (216 in 2016)…their 152 HR are a club record through 106 games (prev. 137 in 2016) and their 484 runs are their most since 2013 (493)…the Rays lead the majors with a club-record 11 back-to-back home runs, ahead of the Royals and Nationals (9).

Ê The Rays have three players with at least 60 RBI (Steven Souza Jr. 65, Logan Morrison 62, Evan Longoria 62)…the only other AL team that can make this claim is the Astros (Carlos Correa 67, George Springer 66, Marwin Gonzalez 61).

THE DUDA ABIDES—In his first 3 games with the Rays, 1B Lucas Duda has hit .429/.583/1.286 (3-for-7) with 2 HR, 3 RBI, 4 BB and 3 runs scored…he became only the second player in Rays history to homer in his first 2 games with the club, joining rookie Elijah Dukes, who did it April 2-5, 2007…Dukes turned the trick at old Yankee Stadium in his first 2 major league games, and the Rays first 2 games of the season…Duda’s homers at Yankee Stadium came in the 7th inning on Friday (second deck) and in the 8th on Saturday, a game-tying shot that struck the facing of the upper deck.

SOUZA-PALOOZA—RF Steven Souza Jr. has established career highs with 22 HR, 65 RBI, 17 2B (tied with 2016), 55 BB and 60 runs scored…in 25 games since June 30, he is batting .303/.398/.629 (27-for-89) with 20 runs scored, 5 2B, 8 HR, 16 RBI, 12 BB and 5 SB…all 22 HR have come vs. RHP, which according to the Elias Sports Bureau makes him the first right-handed batter to hit his first 22 HR of a season off RHP since CHC Sammy Sosa (2004), whose 23rd homer came off a LHP…Sosa finished that season, his last with the Cubs, with 35 HR…no RH hitter since data is available (1913) has finished a season with at least 22 HR, all coming off a RHP; NYM Jeff Kent holds the record with 21 in 1993.

EL CABALLO—Yesterday RH Alex Colomé recorded his AL-leading 30th save of the season…coming in the team’s 106th game, only two closers in Rays history have reached the plateau faster: RH Fernando Rodney (102nd game) in 2012 and RH Rafael Soriano (104th game) in 2010…he is the fourth pitcher in Rays history to record two 30-save seasons, joining Rodney (2012-13), RH Danys Báez (2004-05) and RH Roberto Hernán-dez (1999-2000)…his 48 saves since the 2016 All-Star break lead the ma-jors, ahead of LAD Kenley Jansen (47) and TOR Roberto Osuna (44).

EXTREME MAKEOVER: BULLPEN EDITION—There are 20 active relief pitchers with at least 250 career apps and a sub-2.90 ERA, and the Rays acquired three of them this week in RH Steve Cishek, LH Dan Jennings and RH Sergio Romo…they arrived with a combined 24 seasons in the majors, 1,233 games, 206 saves, a 67-67 record, 2.81 ERA (1,123-IP, 351-ER) and 3 World Series rings…the Rays bullpen now has no rookies…the Rays have used nine different rookies in relief this season, including as many as four rookies in the bullpen at once (May 30, and for the June 10 doubleheader with a rookie 26th Man).

JOHNNY WHOLESTAFF—Rays Manager Kevin Cash used his entire bench each of the last 2 games in New York, and even employed RH Aus-tin Pruitt as a pinch-runner on Saturday.

McKAY CRISP IN PITCHING DEBUT—Last night, Short-A Hudson Val-ley LH/1B Brendan McKay made his professional debut as a pitcher vs. Staten Island (Yankees)…he totaled 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 SO, 31 pitches, 21 strikes…the Renegades won, 1-0, in 10 innings…McKay was the Rays top selection (No. 4 overall) in the 2017 June Draft and consensus NCAA Player of the Year for the Univeristy of Louisville.

TONIGHT’S STARTER—RH ALEX COBB (9-6, 3.46)

Ê LAST START—On Wed vs. BAL, his only run allowed was a 2-out, solo homer by Jonathan Schoop in the 4th…retired his first 7 BF and faced the minimum through 3.2 IP…threw 94 pitches in 7 IP, including 34 pitches through his first 3 IP (11-11-12)…it was his fewest pitches thrown since June 3 at SEA (94), when he allowed career highs with 14 hits and 9 runs…never allowed more than one hit in an inning, and his only inning with multiple baserunners was the 4th (homer, walk)…his line: W, 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 SO, 1 HR, 94 pit, 61 str.

Ê THE TURNAROUND—Allowed a ca-reer-high 14 hits and career-high 9 runs on June 3 at SEA, but since then has pitched to a 2.24 ERA (64.1-IP, 16-ER) in his last 9 starts—3rd in the AL over that span…has only allowed more than 3 ER once over this stretch: June 2 at BAL (6)…has gone 6 IP or more in all 9 of these starts, the longest such streak of his career (prev. 6, Aug 31–Sep 28, 2014)…has gone at least 7 IP in 4 consecutive starts, matching the longest streak of his career.

Ê THE WIN COLUMN—Is 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA (30.1-IP, 5-ER) and .163 opp avg. over his last 4 starts…it’s the first time he has won 3 con-secutive decisions since prior to Tommy John surgery, when he had a career-high 7-game winning streak from June 29–Aug 21, 2014…is one win shy of tying Jake Faria from June 7–July 6 and Matt Andri-ese from May 4-25 for the longest by a Rays pitcher this season.

Ê PITCH SELECTION—Has thrown his changeup a career-low 16.7 percent of the time this season, and his curveball a career-high 33.4 percent of the time…however, over his last 2 starts he has thrown his

changeup 77 times out of 193 pitches (39.9 pct.), and opponents are batting .200 (2-for-20), both singles, and 5 SO in at-bats ending with the pitch…in his career entering this season, his pitch distribution in-cluded 34.7 pct. changeups and 20.5 pct. curveballs.

Ê THE LONG BALL—His 1.04 HR/9 IP ratio for the season is 13th in the AL…has allowed 16 HR, but a career-high 10 HR against righties, more than twice as many as any other season (4, 2014 and 2013)…nine of his last 11 HR allowed have been to righties, but prior to this stretch only 13 of 48 HR allowed in his career were vs. RHB.

Ê DON’T RUSH ME—Averages 26.0 seconds between pitches, accord-ing to FanGraphs, 3rd in the majors behind TEX Yu Darvish (26.2) and KC Jason Hammel (26.1), and the highest of his career…in his 5 starts after returning from Tommy John last season, averaged 21.4 seconds between pitches…his previous high before this season (min. 10 starts) was 24.5 seconds in 2014.

Ê THE BATTING ORDER—Opposing 7-thru-9 hitters are batting .301/ .340/.471 (46-for-153) with 11 2B, 5 HR and 19 RBI against him…the major league average for this split is .248/.315/.403.

Ê SEEKING DURABILITY—Last season was the fourth straight year he missed six weeks or more of action due to injury, and the fifth time in six major league seasons overall…he missed time in 2016 and 2015 recovering from Tommy John surgery, in 2014 with a left oblique strain, in 2013 following a concussion suffered on a line drive to the head and in 2011 due to thoracic outlet syndrome.

prior to Alex Colomé’s blown save…allowed an RBI double to Jacoby Ellsbury and RBI single to Todd Frazier in the 2nd, and a solo homer to Gary Sanchez in the 3rd…retired 9 straight after the Sanchez homer, then went single-single-walk with 1 out in the 6th but got consecutive strikeouts—Nos. 9 and 10 of his outing—to strand the bases loaded…was the first time he reached 10 SO at Yankee Stadium (ninth start there)…his line: ND, 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 10 SO, 1 HR, 102 pit, 71 str.
