FOR THE YOUNGSTERS—Today kids 14 and under will receive a Rays Win Alarm Clock presented by State Farm, featuring wake-up calls from Rays radio broadcasters Dave Wills and Andy Freed, while supplies last…from 12–12:30 p.m., RH Jake Odorizzi and RH Austin Pruitt will sign autographs along the right field line for kids 14 and under. RAY MATTER—After a 7-6 loss last night, the Rays have lost five consecu- tive series and have a 4-game losing streak, one shy of their season high (July 19-24)…they have lost 7 of their last 8 games, 10 of 12 and 12 of 15…since July 19 they are 9-21, dropping from a season-high 7 games over .500 (51-44, second place in the AL East, 2 GB of first- place Boston) to a season-most 5 games below .500 (60-65, virtual tie for fourth place, season-high 11.5 GB of first)…prior to Monday, the Rays had spent 64 straight days in third place or better in the AL East…they are one of eight teams separated by 4.0 games vying for the second AL Wild Card position. Ê Today’s game concludes a stretch of 30 games in 31 days (9-19 thus far) that began on July 21…the Rays are off tomorrow before resum- ing the 6-game homestand with a 3-game set vs. Toronto. Ê The Rays went 27-19 at home before the All-Star break, but are 4-13 here since then. Ê Since July 8, 29 of their last 37 games have been decided by 3 runs or less, including 16 one-run games (6-10). Ê The Rays have yielded 7 runs in each of the last 2 games, first time they’ve yielded 7-plus in consecutive games since June 24-25 vs. BAL. Ê The Rays have averaged a major-league-low 3.06 runs per game (107-R, 35-G) since the All-Star break, and the Brewers are next low- est at 3.76…they averaged 4.76 R/G before it (13th in majors). Ê The Rays have been shut out 10 times this season, tied with the Roy- als for most in the majors…9 have come at home, most in the majors, and 5 have come over the last 15 games. NO BROOMS ALLOWED—The Rays need a win today to avoid being swept in a series of 3 or more games for the fourth time this season (last July 21-23 vs. TEX)…at 0-5 in the season series vs. Seattle, they also need a win today to avoid being swept in a season series by an AL team for only the third time in franchise history…they went 0-6 vs. Minnesota in both 2003 and 2005. RAYS vs. MARINERS—The Rays have lost 6 straight games vs. Seattle, tied for their 2nd-longest skid ever vs. Seattle…they also lost 6 straight June 7, 2014–May 27, 2015 and dropped 8 straight from June 20, 2000– June 3, 2001…the Rays haven’t lost 7 straight to any opponent since April 27–July 16, 2016 vs. BAL (7)…in the season series (0-5), the Rays have been outscored 42-14, allowing at least 7 runs in every game and compiling a 7.93 ERA (42-IP, 37-ER)…they have lost the season series for the fourth consecutive season, going 8-17 (.333) since the start of 2014, and haven’t won a season series since 2012 (6-4). Ê The Rays are 73-93 (.440) all-time (35-44 home, 38-49 road, 34-42 at Safeco Field)…they have lost 9 of their last 11 home games vs. SEA. GO HANG A SALAMI—Last night’s grand slam by SEA Mitch Haniger was the fourth grand slam hit against the Rays this season, 3 of those by the Mariners…also Taylor Motter (June 2 at SEA, off Odorizzi), Mike Zunino (June 3 at SEA, off Cobb)…this ties the Rays record for most grand slams allowed to one opponent in a season—also Boston (2005), Boston (2002) and Kansas City (2000). 37—Games remain on the Rays regular-season schedule…35 of those are against teams within 4.0 games of a postseason spot, the only exception the 3-game series Sep 1-3 at CWS…they need to go 21-16 to achieve Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager, 22-15 to finish with a winning record, 25-12 to reach 85 wins and 30-7 to reach 90 wins…for context, their best 37-game stretch this season is 22-15 (four times, last June 7–July 21) and their best under Cash’s tenure is 23-14 (May 12–June 20, 2015). HECH MAKES TROP HISTORY—In the 7th inning last night, SS Adeiny Hechavarria turned the first double play in Tropicana Field history on a ball that struck a catwalk…Mike Zunino’s pop-up struck the B-ring catwalk, Hechavarria caught it and threw to 2B Daniel Robertson, who tagged out Guillermo Heredia at 2B. WATER, OR MIRAGE?—With 6 runs scored last night, the Rays had their highest-scoring game at Tropicana Field since their 15-5 win on June 23 vs. BAL, and their most runs scored in a loss at home since another 7-6 loss, May 9 vs. KC…it equaled their most runs scored in the month of August (third time, also Aug 15 at TOR and Aug 1 at HOU)…over the last 15 games since Aug 4, the Rays have scored only 30 runs (2.0 R/G) while compiling a .196 (95-for-485) avg. and .102 (9-for-88) mark with RISP…prior to this month, only once in club history had the Rays scored 30 runs or fewer over any 15- game stretch: June 25–July 13, 1998 (27)…for the record, the club record for fewest runs scored over 16 games is 31 runs (June 24–July 13, 1998). POWER PLAY—The Rays hit 3 HR last night, their most since July 31 at HOU, and strangely have lost their last 4 games when hitting 3 HR or more…prior to that, they were 17-3 on the season when hitting at least 3 HR…the Rays rank 5th in the AL with 170 HR, their most ever through 125 games (prev. 167 in 2016)…they are on pace for a club-record 220 HR (216 in 2016)…their 535 runs are their most through 125 games since 2013 (560)…the Rays lead the majors with a club-record 12 back-to-back home runs, ahead of the ARI, BAL, CHC, HOU, KC and WAS (9 each). Ê Last night OF Steven Souza Jr. homered off LH Ariel Miranda, his 26th home run of the season but first off a LHP…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, he became the first right-handed batter in the expansion era (since 1961) to hit his first 25 HR of a season off RHP…Souza has set career highs with 108 hits, 26 HR, 73 RBI, 19 2B, 2 3B, 64 BB and 65 runs scored. Ê 1B Lucas Duda’s 5 HR since joining the Rays on July 28 are tied with Souza for the team lead. Ê Logan Morrison last night hit his fourth career PH homer, first since Sep 1, 2015 at HOU (with SEA)…it was the first pinch-hit HR by a Ray since Taylor Motter on May 17, 2016 at TOR…it was his third career homer on an 0-2 pitch, first since June 1, 2012 at PHI (with MIA). THE BUFFALO—C Wilson Ramos has recorded multiple hits in 4 straight starts, tying the longest such streak of his career (Sep 1-5, 2011 with Na- tionals)…is batting .550/.609/.900 (11-for-20) with 1 2B and 2 HR over his last 6 games (5 starts), compared to .109/.125/.127 (6-for-55) with 1 2B over his previous 20 games (16 starts) from July 21–Aug 12. BULLISH PEN—Last night the Rays bullpen combined for 5.1 scoreless innings (2-H, 2-BB, 5-SO)…in the month of August, the Rays bullpen ranks 3rd in the majors with a 2.09 ERA (Brewers 1.68, Astros 1.94) and leads the majors with a .176 opp avg. (34-for-193)…they have totaled 56 IP, 34 H, 13 ER, 18 BB, 55 SO…the bullpen hasn’t allowed a run over the team’s last 8 wins, totaling 23.2 IP, 10 H, 6 BB, 21 SO in those games. Ê RH Steve Cishek has thrown 10.0 scoreless innings (4-H, 3-BB, 10- SO) since being acquired from Seattle on July 28…RH Sergio Romo has a 2.40 ERA (15-IP, 4-ER) in 12 apps with 12 SO and 1 BB since joining the Rays via trade from the Dodgers. Ê The Rays bullpen boasts four pitchers with 35-save seasons under their belts in RH Alex Colomé (37 in 2016, 35 in 2017), Romo (38 in 2013), Cishek (39 in 2014) and Boxberger (41 in 2015). ALEX COLOMÉ—His 35 saves are tied with COL Greg Holland for the major league lead and only 2 shy of his career high (2016)…no Ray has ever led the majors in saves, although RH Brad Boxberger (2015) and RH Rafael Soriano (2010) both led the AL…on Tuesday converted his 72nd career save, passing RH Danys Báez for 3rd place on the Rays all-time list behind RH Roberto Hernández (101) and RH Fernando Rodney (85).

Ê THE WIN COLUMN—His last start snapped a 16-start winless streak, which tied for the 2nd longest winless streak in franchise history and was one shy of the club record held by Jason Hammel (17) from April 11, 2006–Aug 28, 2007…it was his second career win on the road, snapping a 15-start road winless streak, which was the longest by a Ray since Doug Waechter (15) from April 28, 2005–May 30, 2006.

Ê Is attempting to win consecutive decisions for the first time since July 19-31, 2016 (2-0, 1 ND)…has never won consecutive starts.

Ê He was first pitcher to start the season without a win through 15 starts since MIL Marco Estrada (15) in 2012…was the second Ray to start the season winless through 15 starts, joining Tanyon Sturtze in 2002 (15)…was the first Ray to start the season with losses in his first 6 decisions since Edwin Jackson (0-8) in 2007.

Ê IN CONTROL—Averaging 2.20 BB/9 IP over his last 5 starts, com-pared to 5.95 BB/9 IP in his first 11 starts of the season…has yielded 2 BB or fewer in 5 straight starts, the longest such streak of his ca-reer…prior to this streak, only allowed 2 BB or fewer in consecutive starts once in his career: Aug 27–Sep 3, 2016 at HOU, vs. TOR.

Ê Has a 4.06 ERA (37.2-IP, 17-ER) over his last 7 starts, compared to a 6.75 ERA (30.2-IP, 23-ER) in his previous 6 starts from April 22–June 28 and a 5.36 ERA in his first 9 starts this season.

Ê SEEKING LENGTH—Has gone 5 IP or fewer in 10 of 16 starts this season, 14 of his last 20 starts, 18 of his last 25 and 20 of 35 career starts…has averaged 18.6 pitches per inning this season, 5th highest in the AL (min. 50 IP)…has averaged 19.0 pitches per inning in his career, most in the majors over the last two seasons (min. 20 starts).

Ê Since the start of 2016, min. 20 starts, his 4.25 pitches per batter faced are the 2nd most in the majors, ahead of only teammate Jake Odorizzi (4.31)…over this same stretch, his 4.92 BB/9 IP ratio is the highest in the majors (CLE Mike Clevinger, 4.80).

Ê Didn’t have a start of at least 7 IP in his career until July 24 vs. BAL (31st career start)…he was the only AL pitcher without a start of at least 7 IP through his first 30 career apps, all as a starter, since Baseball Reference data is available (1913).

Ê BREAKS & BRUISES—Hasn’t hit a batter in any of his 35 starts, the longest streak by any starter to begin his career (no relief appearances over that stretch) since Baseball Reference data is available (1913)…it’s the 2nd longest streak by a Rays starter at any point in franchise history, and the club record is James Shields (38) in 2009-10.

Ê HELP WANTED—Has received 4 runs (or more) of run support only 7 times in his 35 career starts…has received 34 runs of support in his 16 starts this season (3.61 R/9 IP)—only two qualifying starters in the majors have a lower mark…has had 10 career starts with no run sup-port, and 17 career starts of 1 run of support or fewer…has received a total of 11 runs of support in his 14 career losses, 44 runs in his 7 wins and 30 runs in his 14 no-decisions.

Ê NO HOMERS CLUB—His 0.88 HR/9 IP ratio since the start of last sea-son is 7th in the AL (min. 20 starts)…has yielded 0 HR and 5 XBH, all doubles, in his career against lefties (137 BF)…has faced a lineup ex-clusively of right-handed batters or switch hitters five times this season.

Ê Only two other left-handed pitchers in the majors has faced as many lefties since the start of last season without yielding a home run: SD Clayton Richard (245) and SF Ty Blach (181).

Ê ROTATION RETURN—Recalled from Triple-A Durham on Aug 8 for his third stint with the Rays this season (also Opening Day–May 14, June 28–Aug 4)…did not miss a start between his second and third stints as RH Alex Cobb was placed on the 10-day DL…was the Rays No. 4 starter to begin the season but was optioned after 8 starts.
