SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2016 at NEW YORK YANKEESRH Chris Archer (8-17, 4.06) vs. RH Masahiro Tanaka (12-4, 3.11)

RAY MATTER—Despite hitting six home runs (all solo), the Rays have dropped the first two games of this series to start their season-long 11-game road trip to New York, Toronto and Baltimore…Rays pitchers walked 11 last night, their most in a 9-inning game since May 10, 2011 vs. CLE (11)…Mark Teixeira’s grand slam last night was the third the Rays have allowed in the last 9 games…the Rays have lost 5 of their last 6 games while pitching to a 6.49 ERA (52.2-IP, 38-ER)…Rays have fallen to 22 games under .500 (one shy of their season low, 46-69 on Aug 13)…Tampa Bay is 25-25 since July 17, including 17-10 at home and 8-15 on the road…the Rays are 0-5-1 in their last six road series since winning 2 of 3 from July 18-20 at COL…they haven’t won a series in an AL park since June 2-5 at MIN, having lost 8 straight series in AL parks since then…the Rays suffered their 81st loss last night ensuring their third consecutive non-winning season…it’s the first time that has happened since 2005-07.

ROSTER SIZE—The Rays roster is at 32 (+1 DL) including 18 pitchers.

MUSCLING THEIR WAY—The Rays have hit 18 home runs in their last 10 games and 43 in their last 26 (13-13)…Rays 2 HR last night move them into a tie with 2006 for 2nd most in club history with 190…Rays are 9 HR shy of the club record (see chart)…Rays are 6th in the majors in HR, but rank 22nd in runs scored.

DUFFY UNDERGOES SUCCESSFUL SURGERY—SS Matt Duffy under-went successful surgery on his left heel late yesterday afternoon…surgery lasted about an hour and was performed by Dr. Bob Anderson in Char-lotte…Dr. Anderson removed the bursa from the heel and debrided (cleaned) the bone abnormality present in the heel…Achilles’ heel looked good…Duffy will be in a splint and on crutches for 2½ weeks…he is expected to return to Tampa today and be fully recovered by the start of spring training camp.

SOUZA ONE OF ONLY 3—Steven Sou-za Jr.’s 4th-inning home run last night was his fifth at Yankee Stadium this season…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 Rus-sell 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—With 2 hits last night, CF Kevin Kiermaier extended his career-high hitting streak to 13 games, matching MIN Brian Dozier for the longest active streak in the AL…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 either new or original Yankee Stadium.

DEFENDING HIS GOLD—CF Kevin Kiermaier added two assists last night and now has six since returning from the disabled list on July 15, tops among major league CF during that span…on his first assist last night, Statcast measured his throw to nail Rob Refsnyder at the plate at 99 MPH…only one other OF assist this season has been measured faster: the Yankees Aaron Hicks throw here on April 20 vs. OAK at 105.5 MPH…Kiermaier now has 17 Defensive Runs Saved this season, passing TOR Kevin Pillar for most among major league center fielders…over the past two seasons, KK has 59 runs saved, more than any other major leaguer.

SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER?—Logan Morrison (.474) and Kevin Ki-ermaier (.455) rank first and third, respectively, in the AL in batting in Sep-tember (min. 20 PA). DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY—The Rays are 21 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 9-12 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 103 games vs. teams currently at .500 or better, and are 39-64 (.384) 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’ 3rd-best run differential (+42, 250-208) behind the Red Sox (+94) and Cubs (+85), but are 25-27 (.481)…Rays were 34-54 (.386) in the first half and had an AL-worst -74 run differential…the Rays 3.69 ERA is 4th best in the majors since the break…the Rays were 24th in ERA (4.57) the first half.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE PITCHING LINE I—LH Justin Marks made his Rays debut last night…it was his second career app, first since April 20, 2014 vs. MIN (KC), going 872 in between major league apps…his line: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 1 SO…since Baseball Reference data is available (1913), there have been only 7 other times a pitcher had an app of 3 scoreless and hitless innings with 5 BB (or more)…was the first pitcher to do that since LAD Pat Zachary on Aug 4, 1984 vs. CIN…only one other pitcher has had a line like that in his debut with a team: Walter Anderson with the Philadel-phia Athletics on May 14, 1917 vs. CWS. NOT YOUR AVERAGE PITCHING LINE II—Last night, Rays starter Blake Snell lasted 2.2 IP and threw 88 pitches, the most ever by a Ray in an out-ing of 2.2 IP or fewer…it was the most in an outing of 2.2 IP or fewer by an AL pitcher since DET David Price in a 13-4 loss on April 22, 2015 vs. NYY…Price threw 88 pitches in 2.1 IP.

TANAKA TOUGH—The Yankees have won all six of Masahiro Tanaka’s career starts vs. Tampa Bay, best current mark against the Rays…next is TEX Yu Darvish, as the Rangers have won all 4 of his starts vs. TB…but the best start against the Rays in their history belongs to TEX/SEA/ANA Aaron Sele, as his teams won his first 9 starts against the Rays.

RAYS vs. YANKEES—Rays trail in the season series, 8 games to 6…Rays have outscored New York, 68-56…Rays were 7-12 last season, their only losing campaign vs. the Yankees in the last seven years…the Rays 65-60 (.520) record vs. NYY since 2010 is the best among AL teams…Rays have lost their last six series here while going 6-14…this is the Rays 14th 4-game series in the Bronx, and they have won only two (1999 and 2005)…they are 32-40 at new Yankee Stadium after going 26-65 at the original…the Rays have outhomered the Yankees all-time in this park, 97-92.

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 60 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—Long-oria’s throwing error on Wed vs. BAL snapped a 32-game errorless streak…he has made only 3 errors in his last 80 games…he has not made an error on the road since June 4 at MIN (a 33-game streak)…his .977 fielding 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 baseman has finished a season with at least 30 home runs and a .977 fielding pct.: CWS Joe Crede in 2006 (30, .978).

THIS DATE IN RAYS HISTORY—September 10, 2011…The Rays earn a 6-5 walkoff win over Boston in 11 innings to get to within 4.5 games of the Red Sox, who occupy the AL Wild Card spot…it marks the third straight day the Rays gained a game on the Sox…the Rays blow a two-run lead in the 9th, but Desmond Jennings opens the 11th with a triple off Daniel Bard and one out later Evan Longoria singles him home.

TODAY’S STARTER—RH CHRIS ARCHER (8-17, 4.06)

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER Ê Already has more wins (139) than any of the 4 prev. managers in their first

two seasons at the post (Lou Piniella, 133)…38-year-old is the youngest active manager in the majors, 5 months younger than SD Andy Green.

Ê Has been ejected 4 times as manager, once this year (April 29 vs. TOR). Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager

in ML history and second to manage the Rays…joins Hall of Famers Al

Lopez and Tony La Russa, Lou Piniella, Dave Miley and John Hart. Ê Played 12 professional seasons as a catcher, including parts of eight sea-

sons in the majors (2002-10)…spent two years (2005-06) in the Rays org. Ê Played in the 1989 Little League World Series (Tampa Northside LL),

1999 College World Series (Florida State) and earned World Series rings in 2007 (Red Sox) and 2009 (Yankees).

TOMORROW’S STARTER—RH MATT ANDRIESE (6-7, 4.58) 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 Davis, Trumbo, Wieters and Schoop…his line: 5 IP, 9 H, 7 R/ER, 1 BB, 7 SO, 1 HR, 93 pit, 59 str.

Ê SNAP THE SKID—Is 0-7 with a 6.11 ERA (56-IP, 38-ER) in his last 15 apps (8 starts)…tied 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 vs. NEW YORK—Is 0-2 with a 7.53 ERA (14.1-IP, 12-ER) in 4 apps, 2 starts lifetime…last faced them Aug 13 at NYY, taking an 8-4 loss…5 IP, 8 H, 6 R/ER, 0 BB, 8 SO (career high), 4 HR (career high), 76 pit, 56 str.

Ê LAST START—On Sun vs. NYY, left with a 3-1 lead with 2 runners on base in the 7th before Brad Boxberger allowed his inherited runners to score on Devon Travis’ 2-run single…earned ND in the 5-3 victory, missing a chance to become the first 17-game loser to defeat a 17-game winner since DET Jack Morris beat CAL Chuck Finley on Sep 18, 1990, a 3-2 final at Anaheim Stadium.

Ê REVERSE THE CURSE—Is attempting to win consecutive decisions for the first time since April 25–May 17 (3 straight).

Ê BETTER SINCE THE BREAK—Is 4-5 with a 3.03 ERA (65.1-IP, 22-ER) in 10 starts since the All-Star break to lower his season ERA from 4.66 to 4.06—his lowest since he had a 3.60 ERA after his Opening Day start vs. TOR…has gone at least 7 IP in 5 of his 10 starts since the break, compared to only twice in 19 starts during the first half.

Ê Has gone at least 6 IP in 10 of his last 11 starts, including a streak of 8 straight from July 8–Aug 17…has done this in 17 of his last 19 starts, compared to 4 times in his first 10 starts.

Ê STRIKEOUTS—Leads the AL with 211 SO, ahead of DET Justin Ver-lander (209)…has totaled more SO than IP in 6 consecutive starts beginning Aug 6 vs. MIN, totaling 50 SO in 37.2 IP in that span…has reached double-digit strikeouts 6 times, one shy of AL leader BOS David Price (7)…has done it 15 times since the start of 2015, tied with CWS Chris Sale for the AL over the last two seasons.

Ê With the Rays switching to a 6-man rotation, he is on pace for 33 starts and 240 SO…he set the club record in 2015 (252 SO)…for the record, no AL pitcher has recorded back-to-back 250-SO seasons since BOS Pedro Martinez in 1998-99.

Ê LOSSES—Leads the AL with 17 losses and is tied with SD/CWS James Shields for the major league lead…is one shy of tying Tanyon Sturtze’s 2002 club record (18)…his career high prior to this season was 13 (2015)…the last pitcher to reach his combination of losses and strikeouts was MIN/NYM Frank Viola in 1989 (17-L, 211-SO), and the

last AL pitcher was CAL Nolan Ryan in 1976 (18-L, 327-SO)…Ryan in 1976 is also the only AL pitcher to ever finish the season leading the league in both strikeouts and losses.

Ê SEVERE SPLITS—On the road, his 5.79 ERA (79.1-IP, 51-ER) is 4th highest in the AL and would be the highest by a Ray since James Shields in 2010 (5.82)…has received 6.81 R/9 IP in run support, 3rd highest in the AL…in comparison, his 2.63 ERA (96-IP, 28-ER) at home ranks 2nd in the AL, behind BAL Kevin Gausman (2.27)…has received 2.12 R/9 IP in run support at home, lowest in the majors.

Ê A.L. LEADERS—Ranks among AL leaders in SO (211, 1st), SO/9 IP (10.83, 1st), losses (17, 1st), starts (29, T-2nd), BB (61, 9th) and WP (11, T-3rd)…also has a major-league-most 134 SO on the slider.

Ê 1ST INNING—Has a 7.14 ERA (29-IP, 23-ER) in the 1st inning and a 3.44 ERA (146.1-IP, 56-ER) after that…on the road, has an 11.57 ERA (14-IP, 18-ER) in the frame, compared to a 3.00 ERA (15-IP, 5-ER) at home…hasn’t allowed a 1st-inning run in 10 of his last 13 starts.

Ê K’S FOR KIDS—For the second straight season, every strikeout he records will benefit both Burg Baseball Inc. and Tampa RBI…for every strikeout, he joins the Rays and Channel 10 News to each donate $25 to be split among the youth leagues…this effort raised $18,900 last season and has raised $15,825 so far in 2016…fans can visit raysbaseball.com/archer to pledge a dollar amount for every strikeout, with a minimum pledge of 25 cents…amounts will be collected at the end of each month, based on Archer’s strikeout total that month.

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 yesterday at NYY, following April 20, 2014 vs. MIN (with KC)…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

in 2014 and made his major league debut on April 20, 2014 vs. MIN…this spring he told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that the Royals sent him two framed shadow boxes of memorabilia—jersey, lineup cards, game balls, tickets—plus a partial playoff share and an AL champions ring.

#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, 4 IP more than HOU Chris Devenski (72.1)…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 Recorded his first career save on Aug 25 vs. BOS with a strikeout of David Ortiz, his only batter faced…got him swinging to end a 6-pitch at-bat.

#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: --
