SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2013 vs. BALTIMORE ORIOLES RH Alex Cobb (9-3, 3.02) vs. RH Miguel Gonzalez (10-7, 3.92) First Pitch: 1:05 p.m. | Location: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Fla. | TV: FOX | Radio: WDAE 620 AM, WGES 680 AM (Spanish) Game No.: 154 (84-69) | Home Game No.: 79 (48-30) | All-Time Game No.: 2,581 (1,187-1,393) | All-Time Home Game No.: 1,292 (663-628) April: 12-14 | May: 18-10 | June: 13-15 | July: 21-5 | August: 11-15 | September: 9-10 THE HEAT IS ON—With last night’s win and Texas’ loss, the Rays reclaimed sole pos- session of the first Wild Card spot…they are a half-game ahead of the Indians—who now hold a Wild Card position for the first time since end of play May 26, when they were tied—and 1.0 game ahead of the Rangers… the last time the top three Wild Card teams were this close together on this date or later was in 1998, when the Cubs, Mets and Gi- ants were locked in a three-way tie (all 88-72) for the NL Wild Card through Sep 25…this is also the first time 6 teams have been within 3.5 games of the top Wild Card position on this date since the Wild Card was born in 1995. Ê The Rays have won 6 of their last 9 games, after winning only 4 of their previous 17 games…the Rays and Rangers (who have lost 14 of their last 18) are trying to join 4 other teams in the Wild Card era (1995–present) who endured 4-13 or worse slumps in the final 6 weeks and still made the postseason: 2008 Brewers, 2000 Yankees, 2000 Mariners and 1995 Yankees. Ê The Rays are 3-2 so far in a stretch of 11 consecutive games against teams currently within 3.5 games of a postseason berth (2-2 vs. TEX, 1-0 vs. BAL, 3 upcoming at NYY). Ê The Rays have spent 75 consecutive days, beginning July 8, either alone in 2nd place or in first place in the AL East—and also in position to reach the postseason. WITH DEJESUS, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE—At 2:05 this morning, David DeJesus ended the Rays 18-inning, 6-hour, 54-minute marathon with a game-winning RBI single scoring Desmond Jennings…it was the 12th walk-off victory for the Rays this season, 2nd most in club history (13 in 2011) and most in the AL this season…only the D-backs (13) and Phillies (12) have as many in the NL. Ê DeJesus became the 10th different Ray with a walk-off RBI this sea- son, a club record…no other team in the majors has had walk-off wins from 10 different batters. Ê Last night’s postgame celebration included masks of Chewbacca and Gene Simmons. ON THE CLOCK—Last night’s game was the longest in Rays history by in- nings (18) and time (6 hours, 54 minutes)…the previous club records were 16 innings (twice: July 17, 2011 vs. BOS and April 1, 2003 vs. BOS) and 5 hours, 44 minutes (July 17, 2011 vs. BOS)…it was the second-longest game in the majors this season (see chart). Ê The winning run scored this morning at 2:05 a.m.—exactly 11 hours before today’s scheduled 1:05 p.m. first pitch…it was the latest finish ever at Tropicana Field (prev. 1:54 a.m., the Rays-Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball game that began on July 17, 2011). Longest Games, MLB, 2013 7:06 Aug 24 ARI at PHI ARI 12, PHI 7 (18) 6:54 Sep 21 BAL at TB TB 5, BAL 4 (18) 6:32 April 29 LAA at OAK OAK 10, LAA 8 (19) LOST IN THE SHUFFLE—Last night’s win clinched the season series for the Rays vs. the Orioles (10-6), which means they would host the Wild Card game if the Rays and O’s finish as the top Wild Card teams with identical records, or in a tiebreaker game if necessary. Ê 593: Combined pitches thrown by the Orioles (292) and Rays (301). Ê 144: Combined plate appearances by the Orioles (71) and Rays (73). Ê It was the first time in club history the Rays won a game longer than 14 innings…they were previously 0-5 in games lasting 15 innings or longer. Ê No home runs were hit…the last time an AL game of 18-plus innings featured no homers was July 28, 2005 (Blue Jays over Angels in 18). Ê Last night was the 17th game in which the Rays blew a lead in the 7th inning or later this season—and only the 4th time they won such a game (also July 4 at HOU, May 11 at SD, April 3 vs. BAL)…however, after LH Jake McGee yielded 2 runs in the 7th, the Rays bullpen didn’t allow a run over the final 11 frames, yielding only 2 hits and 3 walks. Ê DH Wil Myers went 0-for-8, the first in Rays history to go hitless in 8 or more at-bats…he is the fifth to do so in the majors this year, joining LAA Josh Hamilton, NYY Vernon Wells and Travis Hafner and SF Brandon Belt (all 0-for-8). Ê OF David DeJesus tied his career high with 4 hits (13th time). A PLETHORA OF PLAYERS—The clubs used a combined 21 pitchers last night—11 by the Rays, 10 by the Orioles—to set a new MLB record… the prev. record of 20 occurred twice, last on Aug 24, 2013 (PHI-11, ARI-9). Ê The 11 pitchers used by the Rays tie the major league re- cord for a single game (7th time, most recently Phillies on Aug 24, 2013 vs. ARI)…11 is the same number of pitchers the Orioles used during their entire 1974 season when they won the AL pennant. Ê The Rays used 28 players in the game, setting a new club record (prev. 26)—and equaling the number of players used by the 1943 Cardinals while winning the NL pennant…it’s only the fifth time in ma- jor league history a team has used this many players (see chart)… one of the 30 players used by Oakland in the record game below was current Rays first base coach George Hendrick. Most Players Used in a Game, Team, MLB History 30 A’s Sep 19, 1972 vs. CWS (15 innings) 28 Rays Sep 20, 2013 vs. BAL (18 innings) 28 Braves Sep 7, 2008 vs. WAS (14 innings) 28 Cardinals Sep 18, 2007 at STL (14 innings) 28 Dodgers Sep 13, 1982 vs. SD (16 innings) LINEUP MANEUVERS—The Rays had only two players remain in the same defensive position the entire game: 3B Evan Longoria and SS Yunel Escobar…the Orioles kept their entire lineup in place for the duration with the exception of LF…CF Desmond Jennings—who was scratched from the lineup 15 minutes prior to gametime due to neck stiffness—ended up play- ing 10 innings after pinch-hitting in the 9th and remained in the game in CF. RAYS vs. O’S—The Rays lead the season series, 10-6 (4-3 here, 6-2 at Camden Yards)…the Rays have won 8 of the last 10 meetings…the Rays have won 4 of 5 one-run games vs. Baltimore this season, after going 1-6 last year…the Rays are 63-43 since the start of 2008 and lead the all-time series, 138-136…in 16 games this year, the Rays have scored 91 runs (5.7 R/G) after averaging 3.4 runs per game (61-R, 18-G) vs. BAL last season. DOME SWEET DOME—The Rays are 48-30 at home, 4th best in the AL… they need to win 2 of the final 3 games to record their third 50-win home season…since 2011, Rays are 27-12 at home in September. COBB vs. THE BEST—Today’s starter, RH Alex Cobb, is 5-1 with a 1.82 ERA (59.1-IP, 44-H, 13-R, 12-ER, 17-BB, 52-SO) in 8 starts this year against 2012 postseason teams (BAL, DET, NYY, OAK, TEX)…the Rays have won 6 of the 8 games…beat the O’s, 7-4, on Aug 20 at BAL (6-IP, 3-H, 1-ER). DEFENSIVE WIZARDRY—This series features two of the best-fielding de- fenses in major league history…through 152 games, the Orioles (47 errors) and Rays (55) have the two lowest error totals in major league history and are both on pace to break the 2003 Mariners’ mark for fewest in a 162-game season (65)…the Orioles and Rays infields have each combined for only 33 errors, fewest in the majors…the fewest by an infield in one season is 33 by the 1999 Mets…the Rays have four players on track for a club-record fielding pct. at their position: SS Yunel Escobar (.988, 1st among active shortstops; club record .980), 2B Ben Zobrist (.992; club record .990), 3B Evan Longoria (.975, pct. points above club record .975) and C Jose Lo- baton (.995; club record .994). BELIVEAU SPELLS RELIEF—The Rays have recalled LH Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham…Beliveau begins his fourth stint with the Rays but has yet to appear in a game…if he does pitch, he will become the 40th player to appear in a game for the Rays this season…only the Tigers (39), Reds (39) and Brewers (40) have used as few players this season. PROGRAMMING NOTES—Today’s game is being televised nationally on Fox, with Gary Thorne and Tom Verducci in the booth. Ê Due to programming conflicts, Rays radio will be simulcast on 98 Rock (97.9 FM) and WHNZ 1250 AM on Sunday and Monday. Ê MLB Network has picked up the Rays at Yankees game on Tuesday as its primary game…ESPN has selected the Rays at Yankees game on Wednesday. RAYS AFTER 153 GAMES Year W-L Pct.

April: 12-14 | May: 18-10 | June: 13-15 | July: 21-5 | August: 11-15 | September: 9-10

THE HEAT IS ON—With last night’s win and Texas’ loss, the Rays reclaimed sole pos-session of the first Wild Card spot…they are a half-game ahead of the Indians—who now hold a Wild Card position for the first time since end of play May 26, when they were tied—and 1.0 game ahead of the Rangers…the last time the top three Wild Card teams were this close together on this date or later was in 1998, when the Cubs, Mets and Gi-ants were locked in a three-way tie (all 88-72) for the NL Wild Card through Sep 25…this is also the first time 6 teams have been within 3.5 games of the top Wild Card position on this date since the Wild Card was born in 1995.

Ê The Rays have won 6 of their last 9 games, after winning only 4 of their previous 17 games…the Rays and Rangers (who have lost 14 of their last 18) are trying to join 4 other teams in the Wild Card era (1995–present) who endured 4-13 or worse slumps in the final 6 weeks and still made the postseason: 2008 Brewers, 2000 Yankees, 2000 Mariners and 1995 Yankees.

Ê The Rays are 3-2 so far in a stretch of 11 consecutive games against teams currently within 3.5 games of a postseason berth (2-2 vs. TEX, 1-0 vs. BAL, 3 upcoming at NYY).

Ê The Rays have spent 75 consecutive days, beginning July 8, either alone in 2nd place or in first place in the AL East—and also in position to reach the postseason.

WITH DEJESUS, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE—At 2:05 this morning, David DeJesus ended the Rays 18-inning, 6-hour, 54-minute marathon with a game-winning RBI single scoring Desmond Jennings…it was the 12th walk-off victory for the Rays this season, 2nd most in club history (13 in 2011) and most in the AL this season…only the D-backs (13) and Phillies (12) have as many in the NL.

Ê DeJesus became the 10th different Ray with a walk-off RBI this sea-son, a club record…no other team in the majors has had walk-off wins from 10 different batters.

Ê Last night’s postgame celebration included masks of Chewbacca and Gene Simmons.

ON THE CLOCK—Last night’s game was the longest in Rays history by in-nings (18) and time (6 hours, 54 minutes)…the previous club records were 16 innings (twice: July 17, 2011 vs. BOS and April 1, 2003 vs. BOS) and 5 hours, 44 minutes (July 17, 2011 vs. BOS)…it was the second-longest game in the majors this season (see chart).

LOST IN THE SHUFFLE—Last night’s win clinched the season series for the Rays vs. the Orioles (10-6), which means they would host the Wild Card game if the Rays and O’s finish as the top Wild Card teams with identical records, or in a tiebreaker game if necessary.

#70 JOE MADDON, MANAGER Ê Two-time AL Manager of the Year (2008, 2011) enters his 8th season as

Ê BACK IN ACTION—His start on Aug 15 vs. SEA was his first in the majors since suffering a concussion after being hit by a line drive off the bat of Eric Hosmer on June 15 vs. KC…he missed 50 games while on the disabled list and the Rays went 31-19 in his absence.

Ê STRIKEOUTS AND WALKS—Already has a new career high in strike-outs with 118 (prev. 106 in 2012)...has struck out 5-plus batters in 15 of his 20 starts this year…only did it in 13 of his 32 career starts coming into the year...has averaged 4.0 BB/9 IP over his last 10 starts (3-1, 3.43 ERA) compared to 1.9 BB/9 IP over his first 10 starts (6-2, 2.66).

Ê GROUNDED—His 72.3 groundball pct. would rank highest in the ma-jors if he qualified…since his 2012 debut (May 19) his 2.64 groundball-to-flyball ratio ranks 3rd in the majors.

Ê FLYING SOLO—Has allowed 13 HR in 128 IP this year (0.9 HR/9 IP) but 12 of them have been solo shots...his lone HR allowed with runners on base this year was Mike Moustakas’s 2-run shot on April 30 at KC.

Ê SIMILAR STORIES—In August, Cobb sat down with Toronto’s J.A. Happ to discuss their similar paths this season on Sun Sports…both were struck in the head by line drives (at Tropicana Field) and both made it back to the majors…said Cobb: “Not too many people know what you’ve gone through on a personal level. To know his battles... It’s really nice to see him back on a big-league field and pitching well, too.”

Ê BUGS BUNNY—On June 5 at DET, did not allow a run in 7.2 IP vs. the majors highest-scoring offense in a 3-0 win opposite Doug Fister…his 7.2 IP is still the longest scoreless outing of any pitcher this season against the Tigers…after the game, 17-year veteran Torii Hunter said about facing Cobb: “You would think Bugs Bunny was pitching.”

Ê BAT BOY NO MORE—Alex served as a Dodgers bat boy during spring training in Vero Beach for three years in high school…Alex can recall getting a pair of batting gloves from visiting player BOS David Ortiz, his favorite player at the time…he still has the gloves today.
