WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2017 at OAKLAND ATHLETICS RH Jake Faria (4-0, 2.00) vs. RH Sonny Gray (5-4, 3.72) BACKED IN A CORNER, RAYS BITE BACK—The Rays were trailing 3-2 and down to their final out with no one on base before rallying to a 4-3 vic- tory…C Wilson Ramos singled, SS Adeiny Hechavarria drove in PR Mal- lex Smith to tie it and LF Shane Peterson drove in 2B Brad Miller with a go-ahead single…it was their 5th win of the season when trailing after 8 in- nings, most in the AL, and their most since 2012 (7)…last season they went 0-83 when trailing after 8…it was the second time in only 16 games with the Rays that Hechavarria has delivered a game-tying hit with 2 outs in the 9th inning (also June 30 at BAL, single off RH Brad Brach)…prior to that, Adeiny had only one game-tying hit in the 9th or later in 640 career games: an RBI triple off RH Rafael Soriano on July 28, 2014 vs. WAS (with MIA). Ê Last night was the fourth time this season the Rays recorded a game-tying hit with 2 outs in the 9th…prior to this season, their last game of this type was June 23, 2012 at PHI (Brooks Conrad single). RAY MATTER—The Rays have won 6 of their last 7 games to reach 7 games over .500 for the first time since they were 42-35 through June 28, 2015…this is the latest in a season the Rays have been 7 games over .500 since finishing the 2013 campaign at 92-71…the highwater mark un- der third-year Manager Kevin Cash is 10 games over .500 (40-30 through June 20, 2015)…the Rays are 22-13 (.629) since June 7, the best record in the American League ahead of Houston (21-14) and 2nd best in the majors behind the Dodgers (30-4)…they own the 3rd-best record overall in the AL (.537), trailing Houston (63-31, .670) and Boston (53-42, .558). Ê Today the Rays will attempt to complete just their second sweep of the season of 3 or more games (April 18-20 vs. DET) and first 3-game sweep on the road since May 16-18, 2016 at TOR…the Rays are 12-3-4 over their last 19 series, since May 12-14 at BOS. Ê The Rays are 4-1 on this road trip (2-1 at LAA, 2-0 here) ending today…with a win today they could complete their best two-city road trip since July 18-23, 2014 (5-0 at MIN, STL)…the Rays are off to- morrow and on Friday begin a 6-game homestand vs. TEX and BAL. Ê The Rays first 12 games out of the All-Star break are against oppo- nents currently under .500, with 3 games each at LAA, at OAK, vs. TEX, vs. BAL…they are 4-1 so far. Ê Rays pitchers have yielded only 6 hits total over the first 2 games of this series…Rays starting pitchers own a 3.95 ERA, 2nd lowest in the AL behind the Astros (3.87). Ê The Rays are 7-3 in extra innings…Fri at LAA was their 6th consecu- tive win in extras, the longest win streak in club history within a sea- son, and one shy of the longest overall (7 straight, 2007-08). WHERE THEY STAND—The Rays re- main 2.0 GB of first place in the AL East for a second day, their smallest deficit since end of play April 15 (2.0 GB)… the last time the Rays were this close to first place this late in the season was through Aug 26, 2013, when they were 1.5 GB of Boston…if the season ended today, the Rays would host the Yankees in the AL Wild Card Game… through June 12, the Yankees were a season-high-tying 15 games over .500 (38-23), up 4.0 games on Boston and up 6.5 games on the Rays…since then, the Rays have gone 17-12 and the Yankees have gone 10-21. RAYS vs. A’s—The Rays are attempting their first-ever sweep at Oakland Coliseum, and their first sweep of the A’s since April 19-21, 2013 at home… they currently lead the season series 5-1, and regardless of what happens to- day this will be their best season series ever vs. Oakland (prev. 6-3 in 2008)… Rays had won only one of the past six season series prior to this year (4-3 in 2015)…Rays won 3 of 4 games at home, June 9-11, including a split of the traditional doubleheader on June 10…this is their first time winning con- secutive series wins over Oakland since 2008, when they won three straight series…the Rays are 68-102 (.400) all-time against the A’s, their 2nd-worst record against any AL opponent (57-90, .388 vs. CLE)…they are 27-56 (.325) all-time at Oakland Coliseum, the worst record of any AL team here…they have been held to 3 runs or fewer in 11 of their last 15 games here.

Ê Souza has already established career highs with 20 HR, 60 RBI and 48 BB, and ranks 2nd on the team in each category to Morrison…he has 6 HR over his last 14 games (since June 30)…all 20 HR have come vs. RHP, which according to the Elias Sports Bureau makes him the first right-handed batter to hit his first 20 HR of a season off RHP since CHC Sammy Sosa (first 22) in 2004…Sosa finished that season, his last with the Cubs, with 35 HR.

RAY-KING RAYS—The Rays have hit 140 HR, tied with Texas for 2nd in the AL and 4th in the majors…they have hit 52 HR in the last 34 games… last year they knocked a club-record 216 HR; this year they are on pace to eclipse that mark by 23 (239)…through 95 games, their 140 HR are most in club history (prev. 126 in 2016), while their 446 runs are their most since 2010 (487)…the Rays lead the majors with a club-record 11 back-to-back home runs, and no other team has more than 8 (Nationals)…the Rays have outscored opponents 295-213 (+82) in innings 1-thru-5, but have been out- scored 213-151 after that (-62). ERASMO RAMIREZ—Working on 12 days’ rest last night, threw 3 perfect innings and needed only 33 pitches to do so…it was his longest career relief app without allowing a base runner, and tied RH Chase Whitley (April 25 at BAL) for the longest perfect relief app by a Ray this season. EVAN LONGORIA—Snapped a season-long 10-game hitting streak last night…is batting .314 (27-for-86) in 22 games against AL West opponents… over the last 21 games (beginning June 20) is batting .342 (27-for-83) with 7 2B, 4 HR and 19 RBI…over the last five seasons (2013-17) he leads the majors with 734 games played…next in line is SEA Kyle Seager (729).

SURVIVAL OF THE DEEPEST—The Rays have 10 players currently on the DL, and this season have had 20 different players serve a total of 23 DL stints…three times there have been 13 players on the DL, tying the club record…the Rays are 20-13 (.606) since CF Kevin Kiermaier went on the DL on June 9 with a right hip fracture, tied with Houston for best record in the AL…they went 14-34 (.292) when Kiermaier went on the DL last year.

TODAY’S STARTER—RH JAKE FARIA (4-0, 2.00)

Ê LAST START—On Fri at LAA, his only run allowed was a 2nd-inning homer to Albert Pujols, No. 605 of his career…pitched out of a 2-on, 2-out jam in the 3rd, and 2-on, 0-out and bases-loaded, 2-out jams in the 4th…retired 9 of his last 10 BF…threw 110 pitches, matching his career high…his line: ND, 6.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 110 pit, 68 str. …grew up just 5 minutes north of Angel Stadium and had approx. 200 family members and friends in the stands.

Ê REDEFINING QUALITY—Is the first pitcher to begin his career with 7 consecutive quality starts since NYY Masahiro Tanaka (16) in 2014…since Baseball Reference data is available (1913), is only the ninth pitcher to start his career with 7 consecutive quality starts (see be-low)…his streak of 7 straight is the longest active in the AL and the 2nd-longest in the majors, behind WAS Gio Gonzalez (9)…it’s the longest stretch by a Ray since Chris Archer from Aug 28, 2016–April 8, 2017 (8) and matches Rolando Arrojo from June 12–July 16, 1998 for the longest streak by a rookie in franchise history.

Ê FEATS OF FARIA—Joins James Shields (2006) as the only start-ers in Rays history to begin his career on a 4-game winning streak…Shields was 4-0 thru 5 starts and took the loss in his 6th career start.

Ê Since Baseball Reference data is available (1913), only five oth-ers have gone 6 IP (or more) and allowed 1 run (or fewer) in 5 of their first 7 career apps…joins BOS Eduardo Rodriguez (2015), LAA Jered Weaver (2006), CIN Tom Browning (1984-85), STL Andy Rincon (1980-81) and BOS Dave Ferriss (1945).

Ê Is the first pitcher in franchise history to go 6 IP or more in each of his first 7 starts…previous club record was held by Jeremy Hellickson (first 4 in 2010).

Ê A.L. RANKS—Since June 7, the date of his first recall to make his major league debut, he ranks among AL leaders in wins (4, T-4th), win pct. (1.000, T-1st), ERA (2.00, 2nd—behind CLE Corey Kluber, 1.73), WHIP (0.98, 5th), H/9 IP (6.60, 5th), HR/9 IP (0.80, 11th), opp avg. (.202, 5th),

opp OBP (.268, 6th), opp SLG (.307, 4th) and opp OPS (.575, 6th)…since his recall, his 41 SO are most among AL rookies and 3rd among ML rookies to SD Dinelson Lamet (43) and PHI Nick Pivetta (42).

Ê His 41 SO are the most by a Ray through 7 career apps, ahead of Chris Archer (40, 2012)…the club record through 8 apps is 43 by James Shields (2006) and Wade Davis (2009-10).

Ê POWER OF THE RING—Has yet to lose since his May 23 engage-ment to Jessica Soto…is 5-0 with a 1.93 ERA (56-IP, 12-ER) in 9 starts between the majors and minors since then.

Ê ELIAS SAYS—Through 6 starts, was 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA…the Elias Sports Bureau noted that the only other active pitchers who were 4-0 or better with an ERA that low through their first 6 career starts were PIT Zach Duke in 2005 (4-0, 0.92), LAA Jered Weaver in 2006 (6-0, 1.12) and SEA James Paxton in 2013-14 (5-0, 1.75).

Ê STREAK CONTINUES—Today will be the 494th straight Rays game started by a pitcher under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors…35-year-old LH Erik Bedard on July 3, 2014 at DET was the last pitcher 30 years or older to start a game for the Rays.

Ê AT TRIPLE-A—Went 6-1 with a 3.07 ERA (58.2-IP, 20-ER) in 11 starts with Triple-A Durham…at the time of his recall, he ranked among In-ternational League leaders in wins (T-1st), SO (84, 1st), ERA (9th) and opp avg. (.204, 2nd), and among Rays minor league leaders in wins (T-1st), SO (1st) and ERA (T-7th)…allowed 2 runs or fewer in 7 of his 11 starts with Durham, and two of his last 3 starts there were scoreless.
