FIRST WINNING HOMESTAND WITHIN REACH—At 5-2 on the 10-game homestand (3-0 vs. NYY, 2-2 vs. KC), the Rays need one win this weekend to clinch their first winning homestand of the season…Atlanta wrapped up their first winning homestand yesterday, leaving the Rays and D-backs as the only clubs without a winning homestand this season…this homestand began a stretch in which the Rays play 20 of 26 games at home. FIRST ONE-RUN WIN IN 7 WEEKS—Yesterday’s 3-2 victory snapped the Rays 9-game losing streak in one-run games and was their first one-run win since June 15 vs. SEA (3-2 in 13 innings)…the Rays still hold the majors’ worst record in one-run games, at 8-18 (.308)…the last team to finish a season with the bad of a record in one-run games was the 2008 Braves (11- 30, .268)…five of the Rays last 6 losses have come by a one-run margin. PITCHING STREAK APPROACHING CLUB RECORD—The Rays have yielded 3 runs or fewer in 10 consecutive games, the longest such streak in the majors this year and 2nd-longest streak in club history…they went 12 straight from Aug 4-16, 2014.

Ê Sixteen of his 19 HR have traveled at least 400 feet, most on the team…his HR have averaged 415.3 feet this year, per MLB StatCast. Ê Miller’s 42 extra-base hits rank 2nd among AL shortstops to HOU Carlos Correa (43) and put him on pace for 64 XBH, which would shatter Julio Lugo’s club record of 52 (2004) for a shortstop…Miller has 8 XBH over the last 9 games. 20/20 VISIONEvan Longoria has 23 HR and Miller has 19…the Rays haven’t had a pair of teammates reach 20 HR in the same season since 2012 (Melvin Upton Jr. 28, Ben Zobrist 20)…the Rays are the only team in baseball without a pair of teammates reaching 20 HR in any of the last three seasons (2013-15). KK THE SPARKPLUG—CF Kevin Kiermaier has batted in the No. 2 spot for the last 3 games and has responded by going 4-for-11 with 4 runs, 1 HR and 4 BB (.364/.500/.636)…since the All-Star break, his 16 BB are tied with LAA Mike Trout for the AL lead and one shy of ML leader CIN Joey Vottohe has 4 SB in 7 games this homestand to take over the team lead with 10 SB…since returning from the DL immediately following the All-Star break, Kiermaier leads all major league outfielders with 61 putouts…despite only 56 games in CF, he ranks 2nd among major league center fielders with 13 Defensive Runs Saved, per FanGraphs, trailing only TOR Kevin Pillar (17 DRS in 107 games). WEB GEMS—In the past 22 games, Rays infielders have made only 3 errors, but Rays outfielders have made 5, pitchers 2 and catchers 3…in 19 games since the All-Star break (and the call-up of C Luke Maile), Rays catchers have yielded only 4 SB in 7 attempts for a 42.9 caught stealing pct. (T-2nd fewest SB in the majors)…prior to the All-Star break, they allowed 57 SB in 72 attempts (5th most SB in majors) in 88 games. CLOSING THE DOOR—All-Star RH Alex Colome is 26-for-27 in save op- portunities…he ranks T-3rd in the AL in saves and 2nd in save pct. (96.3) behind BAL Zach Britton (100.0)…has a 0.96 ERA (28-IP, 3-ER) in save situations this year, compared to a 4.76 ERA (11.1-IP, 6-ER) otherwise. NASTY HOOK—Tonight’s starter LH Blake Snell has held opposing hit- ters to 1-for-27 (.037) in at-bats ending with his curveball…according to PITCHf/x, no pitcher in the majors has a lower opp avg. with any pitch (min. 20 AB ending with the pitch)…his only hit allowed with the pitch was a single to Marco Hernandez on June 27 vs. BOS.
