ALL-STARS NAMED TONIGHT—The AL and NL All-Star Teams will be announced tonight at 7 p.m. on the “Camping World All-Star Selection Show” on ESPN…in the final balloting update released Monday, Wilson Ramos extended his lead among AL catchers from nearly 160,000 votes last week to over 400,000 this week…the voting deadline was 11:59 p.m. on Thursday…Ramos is attempting to become the fifth different Ray to start the All-Star game, joining LH David Price, LF Carl Crawford and 3B Evan Longoria in 2010 and DH Corey Dickerson in 2017…DH José Can- seco in 1999 and Longoria in 2009 won fan elections but did not play. RAY MATTER—Yesterday the Rays recorded their seventh shutout of the season and fourth in their last 13 games…their 3-0 win over the Mets was their third road shutout and first since May 30 at OAK…the Rays are 10-4 in their last 14 games to improve from 6 games under .500 (34-40) to 44-44…they are 2 games shy of their high-water mark of the season. Ê Since April 18, the Rays have gone 40-31 (.563) to improve from 4-13, which tied for the worst 17-game start in franchise history… their plus-37 run differential over this stretch is 5th in the AL. Ê Today’s game is the rubber match of this 3-game series…the Rays are 14-14 in series play this season, including 3-1 in their last 4 se- ries, but they haven’t won a road series since May 28-31 at OAK. Ê Today is the final game of a 6-game road trip to Miami (1-2) and New York (1-1)…the Rays are 4-14 in their last 18 road games. THROWING BLANKS—The Rays have recorded 7 shutouts this season, 4th in the AL and one shy of the AL co-leaders Boston, Cleveland and Houston…all 7 shutouts have come over the last 37 games since May 28 at OAK, while they didn’t have a shutout through the first 51 games and were the second-to-last team with one this season…the 7 shutouts since May 28 are the most in majors, ahead of the Giants (6), and the 5 shutouts since the start of June are tied with the Red Sox for most in the AL. Ê Yesterday’s shutout occurred despite the leadoff hitter reaching in seven of the 9 innings, including three times on a double. Ê Their 3 shutouts in interleague play are tied with the Pirates for most in the majors…three of their 4 IL wins have been shutouts. Ê The Rays have pitched to a 1.94 ERA (134.2-IP, 31-R/29-ER) in their last 14 games…they have allowed 3 runs or fewer in 11 of their last 14 games and 2 runs or fewer in nine of their last 14 games. Ê Since the debut of the “opener” on May 19 vs. LAA, Rays pitch- ers lead the majors with a 2.74 ERA (410-IP, 125-ER), ahead of the Dodgers (3.19)…prior to this, they ranked 22nd in the majors and 9th in the AL with a 4.43 ERA (382.1-IP, 188-ER) in 43 games. ON THE OFFENSIVE—Yesterday’s 8th-inning RBI single by Carlos Gó- mez snapped the club’s 0-for-25 drought with RISP, which dated back to the final out of the 16th inning on Tues at MIA…the Rays have totaled 4 runs in their last 3 games and are batting .069 (2-for-29) with RISP over that span…they have been blanked in 36 of their last 41 innings at the plate, and haven’t scored more than 1 run in any of their last 27 innings. Ê Yesterday’s game was the second time the Rays ever scored 3 runs or fewer despite at least 17 AB with RISP, following an 8-2 loss on June 27, 2003 vs. ATL, when they were 2-for-17 with RISP. Ê The Rays are 11-5 over their last 16 games despite averaging 3.38 runs per game…27 of the 54 runs over this span have come in three of the wins; they are averaging 2.08 runs in the other 13 games… the Rays have been held to 3 runs or fewer in 11 of their last 16 games, 2 runs or fewer in 8 games and 1 run or fewer in 5 games. Ê Eight of the club’s last 13 wins have come on 3 runs or fewer, while only three of their first 31 wins of the season came in this fashion. Ê The Rays are 28-1 (.966) when scoring at least 5 runs this season. Ê The Rays have hit only 3 HR in their last 10 games since June 26… they have hit 76 HR this season, 4th-fewest in the majors. RAYS vs. METS—The Rays are 10-13 (.435) all-time against the Mets (5-7 at home, 5-6 on the road)…this series is the first meeting between the clubs since Aug 7-9, 2015 at Tropicana Field, and first on the road since June 19-21, 2009—though the Rays did play at Citi Field last season, with the relocation of the Sep 11-13 home series against the Yankees due to the arrival of Hurricane Irma in Florida…the Rays haven’t lost a road series to the Mets since June 2-4, 2000, when they went 1-2 and the losses in that series came against opposing starters Glendon Rusch and Al Leiter. INTERLEAGUE INTRIGUE—The Rays are 4-10 in interleague play this season (2-5 at home, 2-5 on the road)…the Rays would need to win out in interleague play to avoid only their second losing interleague record since 2008 (7-11 in 2010)…the Rays are 114-90 (.559) in interleague play since 2008—5th-best in the majors over that span—and 188-194 all-time. Ê The NL is 91-76 (.545) in interleague play this season, but the AL has won each of the last 14 season series. COMMON BOND—Five former Rays players have gone on to manage ma- jor league teams and three of those were hired this past offseason: NYM Mickey Callaway (1999, 2001), WAS Dave Martinez (1998-2000) and PHI Gabe Kapler (2009-10)…the others are Rays Manager Kevin Cash (2005) and former White Sox/Marlins Manager Ozzie Guillén (2000)…Cash and Callaway were on the Indians coaching staff together from 2013-14. UP NEXT: TIGERS—The Rays went 1-2 at Comerica Park from April 30– May 2, losing the rubber match on a walk-off bunt RBI single by John Hicks in the 12th inning…tomorrow is the fourth of six meetings be- tween the clubs this season…the Rays went 5-2 against them last year, including a 3-game sweep at home, just the second time in the past seven seasons they won the season series over the Tigers (4-3 in 2014). ALL-STAR RÉSUMÉ: BLAKE SNELL—Leads the AL with a 2.09 ERA, ahead of NYY Luis Severino (2.12) and HOU Justin Verlander (2.15)… with 7.1 scoreless in yesterday’s game, Snell lowered his ERA from 2.24 to pass both pitchers, with Severino allowing 3 R/ER in 5 IP to increase from 1.98…his ERA is 2nd in the majors behind NYM Jacob deGrom (1.79). Ê According to Stats LLC, Snell joined David Price as the only pitch- ers in club history to hold the AL lead in ERA in July or later…Price won the AL ERA title (and the AL Cy Young Award) in 2012. Ê Snell is 8-1 with a 1.27 ERA (64-IP, 9-ER) in his last 10 starts dat- ing back to May 18, and leads the majors in ERA over this stretch, ahead of deGrom (1.77)…his .166 opp avg. since then leads the AL and is 2nd in the majors behind ATL Mike Foltynewicz (.157). Ê Snell is 4-0 with a 0.63 ERA (28.2-IP, 2-ER) in his last 4 starts and joins deGrom (May 18–June 2) as the only pitchers in the majors this season to go at least 7 IP and allow 1 run or fewer in four con- secutive starts…the only other Rays to ever do that are Price from July 24–Aug 9, 2013 and James Shields, who did it twice in 2011. Ê Snell’s 12 wins are tied for 2nd in the majors to Severino (14) and are tied for 2nd in club history before the All-Star break, trailing Matt Moore (13) in 2013, with one start remaining in the first half. Ê Snell has made 16 starts of 2 runs or fewer and 12 starts of 1 run or fewer, both the most in the majors. ALL-STAR RÉSUMÉ: WILSON RAMOS—His 79 hits are 20 more than the closest AL catcher, OAK Jonathan Lucroy (59), and are tied with SF Buster Posey and MIA J.T. Realmuto for most among major league catch- ers…he also leads AL catchers with 47 RBI and is tied for 3rd with 12 HR. Ê Ramos is batting .289, which ranks 18th among the 84 AL quali- fiers…only one other AL catcher currently qualifies for the batting title, KC Salvador Pérez (.213, 77th)…NYY Gary Sánchez, who was in 2nd place in the most recent balloting update, is currently on the disabled list and his .190 avg. does not qualify as of today. Ê Ramos is batting .347 with RISP, tied for 8th-best in the AL. Ê Ramos is on pace for 145 hits, which would be the most by an AL catcher since Pérez (150) in 2014…he is on pace for 22 HR and 87 RBI, which would tie and exceed his career highs, respectively, from his 2016 All-Star season (22 HR, 80 RBI with Washington). Ê Ramos is already only 2 HR shy of tying John Flaherty (14) in 1999 for the franchise record among catchers over an entire season.
