TODAY’S STARTER—LH MATT MOORE (0-0, 8.00)

Ê LAST START—On Tue at KC (G1), faced 24 batters and 13 reached base, including the leadoff batter in 4 of 5 innings…failed to hold leads of 1-0 and 4-3, departing in a 4-4 game of an eventual 9-5 loss…got out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the 1st…loaded the bases again in the 2nd, and allowed a bases-loaded HBP and 2-run single…had 2 HBP in the 2nd, his first career game of 2 HBP and the first Ray to hit 2 in an inning since Cesar Ramos on May 24, 2013 vs. NYY (5th)…last run came via a solo homer off the bat of Alex Gordon…his line: ND, 4.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R/ER, 2 BB, 1 SO, 1 HR, 2 HBP, 85 pitches, 50 strikes.

Ê LONG TIME COMING—Marks his third start since returning from Tommy John surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews on April 22, 2014 in Pensacola, Fla. …went 451 days between starts…Moore was one of 26 major league pitchers to have Tommy John surgery in 2014, and the first Rays major leaguer to undergo Tommy John surgery since RH Jason Isringhausen nearly five years earlier (June 16, 2009).

Ê Is seeking his first win since Sep 29, 2013 at TOR, which was his final start of 2013 as he finished a 17-4 campaign…has been 650 days since his last win.

Ê FIRST START—On July 2 vs. CLE, made his season debut and did not allow a hit through 3 IP, needing 31 pitches…after that, allowed 6 H and 4 R/ER over the next 1.2 IP, needing 50 pitches…his last 5 BF reached base (4 singles, 1 walk) after he retired the first 2 batters of the 5th…had a career-high-tying 3 WP, most by a Ray since he did it on Sep 24, 2013 at NYY…the 1-thru-3 hitters in the Indians lineup went 5-for-8 with 4 RBI against him, while he held 4-thru-9 to 1-for-10…his line: 4.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R/ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 81 pitches, 53 strikes.

Ê ON THE LINE—Has failed to finish 5 IP in both starts this season…will be trying to avoid becoming the fourth in franchise history to start the season with 3 (or more) starts of 4.2 IP or fewer…the others: RH Matt Andriese (3, 2015), RH Jeremy Hellickson (3, 2014) and LH Nick Bierbrodt (5, 2003)…Moore has actually gone less than 5 IP in 3 straight starts, dating back to April 7, 2014—the game he departed after 4.1 IP due to injury—tying a career long streak as a starter (also Sep 11-22, 2012)…only twice in club history has a Rays starter gone less than 5 IP in 4 straight starts…is trying to avoid joining RH Jeremy Hellickson (Sep 17, 2013–Aug 1, 2014) and LH Nick Bierbrodt (April 3–June 6, 2003).

Ê REHAB STARTS—Made a total of 5 rehab starts between Class-A Char-lotte and Triple-A Durham, with a 2.95 ERA (21.1-IP, 7-ER) and 24 SO…

stretched out to 94 pitches in his last start, June 27 at Columbus (Indians)…totaled 15 SO in 10.1 IP over his final 2 rehab starts, both with Durham.

Ê ON THE SHELF—He became the 5th Rays major leaguer (6th time) to undergo Tommy John surgery…followed Isringhausen (2009), RH Tyler Walker (2006), RH Seth McClung (2003) and RH Dave Eiland twice (2002, 2001)…from that list, Moore was the first to start in his return to the majors…McClung was the only other to return to majors with the Rays, and he made his return in relief…Isringhausen returned in relief with NYM, Walker in relief with SF and Eiland did not return…RH Alex Cobb an-nounced his decision to undergo Tommy John surgery on May 8.

Ê Prior to Moore, the only team to go longer than the Rays since their last Tommy John surgery on a big leaguer was Milwaukee, according to the Hardball Times website…their last was RH Da-vid Riske, just two weeks before Isringhausen.

Ê ALL-TIME RANKS—In franchise histo-ry, ranks 4th with a 3.64 ERA (min. 300 IP), 2nd with a .630 (29-17) winning pct. (min. 30 decisions) and 3rd with a .234 opp avg. (min. 300 IP).

Ê OFF THE FIELD—Is one of 31 Rays all-time born in Florida, but his fam-ily moved to Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan when he was 6 and lived there for 5 years…has an adopted a chocolate golden doodle named Grif-fin…Griffin, who turns 3 in August, has been featured in both the Rays 2015 and 2014 Players & Pooches calendar.

Ê 2013—In his last full season, posted the best winning pct. (.810, 17-4) in club history and received two fourth-place votes in the AL Cy Young Award balloting, finishing T-9th overall…won a club-record 13 games before the All-Star Break, earning AL All-Star honors…became the youngest AL lefty to start the season 8-0 exclusively as a starter since 22-year-old Babe Ruth did so for Boston in 1917.

Ê WILD THING—Led the AL with a club-record 17 wild pitches in 2013…had he not fallen 12.2 IP shy of qualifying, his 4.55 BB/9 IP would have been the highest rate in the majors.

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER Ê His 42-39 record at the midway point made him one of 11 active manag-

ers with a winning mark through their first 81 career ML games. Ê 37-year-old manager is the youngest skipper in the majors since ARI A.J.

Hinch (34) in 2009 and youngest active manager/head coach in the four major sports, ahead of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens (38).

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., and appeared in 13 major league games in 2005 for Lou Piniella.

Ê Has been ejected twice as manager: April 16 at TOR, May 10 vs. TEX.
