ROSTER ACTIVITY—Today the Rays placed OF Steven Souza Jr. on the 15-day DL, retroactive to June 15, with a left hip strain…Souza Jr. sustained the injury chasing down a Nelson Cruz single in the 7th inning on Tues- day…LH Blake Snell was recalled from Triple-A Durham to start today’s game…3B Evan Longoria left last night’s game in the 13th inning due to left forearm soreness. RAY MATTER—The Rays have won 9 of their last 11 games after losing 8 of their previous 9…they are 9-4 in the month of June, tied with Washington for 2nd-best record in the majors behind Texas (10-4)…with last night’s 3-2, 13-inning victory, the Rays clinched their fourth consecutive series win for the first time since July 11-30, 2014 (five straight)…the Rays passed the Yankees in the AL East standings and are now alone in 4th place for the first time since end of play May 24…in winning 9 of 11 they’ve moved from 9.0 GB in the AL East to 5.5 GB…a win today would put them at .500 for the first time since end of play May 21 (20-20). Ê The Rays are 4-1 on the 9-game homestand vs. HOU (2-1), SEA (2-0) and SF (3 games) and need one more win to record their first winning homestand of the season. RAYS WALK IT OFF IN 13—Last night the Rays won on a walk-off walk by 1B Logan Morrison in the 13th inning, the fifth walk-off walk in club history and first since Luke Scott on May 9, 2013 vs. TOR…none of those five in club history had occurred as late as the 13th inning, and Morrison tied SF Buster Posey (May 11 vs. TOR) for the latest walk-off walk in the majors this season…Morrison, an ex-Mariner, drew the walk off former Rays minor leaguer LH Mike Montgomery. Ê Last night’s game was the Rays longest of the season by time (4 hours, 38 minutes) and innings…their last 13-inning game or longer was Sep 13, 2015 vs. BOS (lost 2-0 in 13)…4:38 was their longest since Sep 8, 2015 at DET (5:03; lost 8-7 in 13) and longest at home since Aug 19, 2014 vs. DET (4:42; lost 8-6 in 11).

Ê Last night the Rays offense struck out 19 times, tying their club record (also July 2, 2015 vs. CLE)…the clubs combined for 35 SO, tied for the most ever in a Rays game (July 10, 2013 vs. MIN—TB-16, MIN-19)… the pitching staff’s 16 SO tied the season high (Opening Day vs. TOR). Ê The Rays offense drew 11 walks, their most since April 25, 2014 at CWS (11) and one shy of the franchise record (June 19, 2010 at FLA). Ê The Rays went 1-for-14 with RISP.

Ê In 5 games vs. Seattle this season, OF Corey Dickerson is batting .316/.364/.895 (6-for-19) with 1 3B, 3 HR, 10 RBI—the most RBI by a Ray this year vs. any single opponent…only TEX Adrian Beltre has more RBI vs. Seattle this season (12 in 9 games). PITCHING PROPERLY—Last night LH Drew Smyly tallied a career-high 12 SO, joining LAD Clayton Kershaw (twice) as the only lefties this season to record 12 SO without a walk…he became the fifth Ray all-time to do that, following David Price (twice), Chris Archer (twice), James Shields and Scott Kazmir…Rays pitchers have 9 double-digit strikeout performances this year, most in the AL. Ê RH Matt Andriese tossed 2.2 hitless, scoreless innings last night to improve to 6-0…he is the fifth in Rays history to start a season 6-0 or better, joining Matt Moore (8-0 in 2013), Jeff Niemann (6-0 in 2010), J.P. Howell (6-0 in 2008) and James Shields (6-0 in 2007). LONGO THE LONGEST-TENURED RAY—Today 3B Evan Longoria passes OF Carl Crawford for the longest service time of any player in Rays history, at 8 years, 73 days…Longoria is the Rays career leader with 221 HR, 748 RBI, 278 2B, 512 extra-base hits and a .488 SLG…he ranks 2nd to Crawford with 1,181 G (Crawford-1,235), 1,207 H (CC-1,480), 666 R (CC- 765) and 2,174 TB (CC-2,217)…his 502 BB rank 2nd to Ben Zobrist (542). Ê Since the beginning of 2013, Longoria and SEA Kyle Seager are tied for the major league lead with 544 games played…they are fol- lowed by OAK/TOR Josh Donaldson (540), LAA Mike Trout (539) and NYY/SEA Robinson Cano (538)…Longoria has missed only 6 games in that span; Seager has missed 7. EVAN ALMIGHTY—3B Evan Longoria has 7 HR in his last 11 games, 20 RBI in his last 16 games and is 10-for-his-last-18 (.556) with RISP…his 7 HR in June are already his most in any calendar month since August 2013 (7)…all of his 16 HR have come as a 3B, 3rd most in the majors behind COL Nolan Arenado (20) and CWS Todd Frazier (19)…Longoria is on pace for: Ê 41 HR, which would be a career high and only the second 40-HR season in club history (Carlos Peña, 46 in 2007). Ê 85 XBH, which would break Aubrey Huff’s club record (84 in 2003). Ê 103 RBI, which would be his most since 2010 (104).

BLAKE SNELL—Will be making his Tropicana Field debut after making his major league debut on April 23 at Yankee Stadium…Snell, born in Seattle and raised in the area, graduated from Shorewood High School (Shoreline, Wash.) and has a chocolate lab named Junior…his father, Dave Snell, is the head baseball coach at Shoreline Community College…Snell will attempt to become the third Washington-born pitcher in major league history to earn his first career win against the Mariners, following TOR Todd Stottlemyre on May 3, 1988 and CLE David Riske on Aug 22, 1999 (both in Seattle)… Stottlemyre’s brother is Mariners pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. UNDER-30 STREAK REACHES 300—With 23-year-old LH Blake Snell on the mound, today will be the 300th consecutive game the Rays have started a pitcher under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors…the Rays passed the D-backs for the longest active streak when 31-year-old Zack Greinke took the mound on Opening Day, ending Arizona’s streak of 237 games started by under-30 pitchers…including today, the Rays have started a pitcher under 30 in 1,535 of their last 1,609 games (95 pct.) dat- ing back to June 26, 2006, including a major-league-record streak of 764 games between 2007-11.

Ê PRIDE OF SHORELINE—Recalled from Triple-A Durham today…the Seattle-born Snell graduated from Shorewood HS (Shoreline, Wash.) and has a chocolate lab named Junior…his father, Dave Snell, is the head baseball coach at Shoreline CC…he is the first Washington-born pitcher to start against the Mariners since Tim Lincecum on June 16, 2015 (W, 5.2 IP, 2-ER)…no Washington-born pitcher has ever made a start against Seattle within one of his first two career starts.

Ê Will attempt to become the third Washington-born pitcher in ma-jor league history to earn his first career win against the Mariners, following TOR Todd Stottlemyre on May 3, 1988 and CLE David Riske on Aug 22, 1999 (both in Seattle).

Ê Only two rookies all-time have started and won a game against the Mariners: TOR Todd Stottlemyre on May 3, 1988 at SEA and TOR Mark Hendrickson who earned a pair of wins in 2003 (Aug 11 at SEA, Aug 21 at home)…the most strikeouts by a Washing-ton-born rookie against the Mariners is 7, by DET Jeremy Bond-erman on May 16, 2003.

Ê LAST START—Made his major league debut on April 23 at NYY (ND, 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO, 1 WP)…was the first Ray to make his major league debut with a start in Yankee Stadium (new or old)…his 6 SO were the most by a pitcher in his debut at Yankee Stadium since BOS Robinson Checo on Sep 16, 1997…only run scored on a 1st-inning WP…left with a 2-1 lead, becoming the third Ray to leave his major league debut in line for a win and not get it, following Wade Davis (Sep 6, 2009) vs. DET and Andy Sonnanstine (June 5, 2007 vs. TOR).

Ê Averaged 94.2 mph on his fastball, per FanGraphs.

Ê WITH DURHAM—Went 3-5 with a 3.29 ERA (63-IP, 23-ER) in 12 starts…last pitched on Fri at Lehigh Valley (Phillies) and had a career-high 13 SO (7 looking) in 5.2 IP…struck out the side twice and had multiple strikeouts in each of his first 5 IP…had a pair of scoreless starts the week prior, earning International League Pitcher of the Week honors for May 30–June 5…at the time of his recall, his 90 SO led the IL and ranked 2nd in the minors…also led the IL with 12.9 SO/9 IP.

Ê PRIZED PROSPECT—Entered the season rated as the Rays No. 1 prospect by Baseball America, the No. 12 overall prospect in baseball and the No. 2 LHP prospect in the game behind LAD Julio Urias.

Ê NO. 4—Is wearing No. 4 on his jersey, the first pitcher in Rays history to don a single digit…previous lowest was Hideo Nomo, who wore No. 11 in 2005…recent single-digit numbers worn by pitchers include TOR Marcus Stroman (No. 6), LAD Julio Urias (No. 7), STL Mike Leake (No. 8), COL Adam Ottavino (No. 0 in 2015) and CHC Carl Edwards (No. 6 in 2015)…according to the Tampa Bay Times, No. 4 has been his favorite since he started playing youth sports…wore No. 11 in the mi-nors because he knew it was customary for pitchers to wear double dig-its…with Logan Forsythe wearing No. 11, decided to go back to No. 4.

Ê DRAFT PRODUCT—He was the first Rays draft pick to make his ma-jor league debut as a starter since RH Alex Cobb on May 1, 2011 vs. LAA…the 52nd player taken in the 2011 June Draft, Snell was the 7th of 10 first-round picks the Rays had that season…he was the fifth first-round draft choice to start on the mound for the Rays, joining David Price (2007), Jeff Niemann (2004) and Jason Standridge (1997).

Ê BANNER YEAR—Went a combined 15-4 with a 1.41 ERA and 163 SO across three levels in 2015, becoming the ninth player (fifth pitcher) to win both Baseball America and USA Today Minor League Player of the Year honors…the previous eight players: CHC Kris Bryant (2014), KC Wil Myers (2012) and TB Jeremy Hellickson (2010), ATL Jason Hey-ward (2009), COL Jeff Francis (2004), FLA Josh Beckett (2001), STL Rick Ankiel (1999) and ATL Andruw Jones (1996 and 1995).

Ê BEST IN A DECADE—His 1.41 ERA was the lowest of any full-season pitcher since Tigers RH Justin Verlander’s 1.29 mark in 2005…he also led all minor league pitchers with a .182 opp avg. and ranked 4th in wins and strikeouts…he combined to strike out 31.3 pct. of all batters faced.
