THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2017 at NEW YORK YANKEESRH Chris Archer (7-6, 3.77) vs. LH CC Sabathia (9-3, 3.44)

RAYS ACQUIRE LEFTY—The Rays have acquired LH Dan Jennings from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Triple-A Durham 1B Casey Gillasp-ie…Jennings, 30, is a six-year veteran of the Marlins (2012-14) and White Sox (2015-17), compiling a 12-13 record and 2.86 ERA (261.1-IP, 83-ER) over 281 appearances, all in relief…this season, he is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA (44.1-IP, 17-ER) and has held lefty hitters to a .169 avg. (12-for-71) with 1 HR…a corresponding move to the 25-man roster will be announced later…RH Diego Moreno was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster…in addition, the Rays added RH Austin Pruitt to the taxi squad today…he will be recalled from Durham to start tomorrow.

RAY-ENFORCEMENTS—Jennings is the fourth veteran of at least six sea-sons the Rays have acquired by trade over the past six weeks, following RH Sergio Romo (July 23), SS Adeiny Hechavarria (June 26) and INF Trevor Plouffe (June 17)…this week’s additions of Jennings and Romo injected the Rays bullpen with a combined 16 seasons in the majors, 827 games, 45-40 record, 85 saves and 2.80 ERA (726-IP, 226-ER).

Ê Jennings will become the 27th pitcher used by the Rays this season, extending the club record (prev. 25 in 2015 and 2006)…he will be-come the 47th player used by the Rays, one shy of their 2016 season total…the club record is 52 players used in 2000.

RAY MATTER—The Rays have won consecutive games following a sea-son-long 5-game losing streak…they won yesterday’s rubber match vs. Bal-timore, 5-1, improving to 13-4-4 over their last 21 series, since May 12-14 at BOS…the Rays trailed 1-0 through 5 innings before scoring 2 runs in the 6th, one in the 7th and 2 in the 8th…it was the first game the Rays scored 5-plus runs, all in the 6th inning or later, since Sep 3, 2016 vs. TOR, a 7-5 win…the Rays have outscored opponents 311-225 (+86) in innings 1-thru-5, but have been outscored 231-158 after that (-73).

Ê With yesterday’s victory, the Rays finished the homestand at 2-4 and a 12-game stretch (6-6) out of the All-Star break vs. sub-.500 teams…to-night the Rays begin perhaps their toughest stretch of the 2017 sched-ule as their next five opponents (17 games) are in playoff contention including three division leaders: 4 games at NYY, 4 at HOU, 3 vs. MIL, 2 vs. BOS, 4 vs. CLE…Rays are 2-4 in a stretch of 17 games in 17 days (July 21–Aug 6) and 30 games in 31 days (through Aug 20).

Ê The Rays have held a lead in 82.4 pct. of their games (84 of 102), 3rd-highest in baseball behind HOU (88 of 101, 87.1 pct.) and MIL (89 of 103, 86.4 pct.)…they have blown a lead in an AL-leading 31 losses.

Ê The Rays faced a RH starter in their first 10 games after the All-Star break, but from Tuesday through Sunday face four lefties in a span of 6 games…Rays are 40-32 vs. RH starters, and 13-17 vs. LH starters.

WHERE THEY STAND—Yesterday the Rays remained 1.0 GB of Kansas City for the second AL Wild Card position, 1.5 GB of New York for the first Wild Card spot and 2.5 GB of first-place Boston in the AL East…Boston and Kansas City are both off today…this is the first time they’ve been this close to first place at least 102 games into the season since end of play Aug 29, 2013 (2.5 GB of Bos-ton)…at 53-49, the Rays hold their best record through 102 games since 2013 (60-42)…it matches their record through 102 games from 2012, when they fin-ished 90-72, and 2011, when they finished 91-71 and won the AL Wild Card.

PITCHING PROPERLY—Rays starters have gone 7 IP or longer in 3 straight games for the second time this season (June 18-20), as well as 5 of the last 6 games…yesterday RH Alex Cobb went 7 IP, tying a career high with his fourth straight start of at least 7 IP (also in 2012)…Rays starting pitchers have thrown 591.2 IP this season, 2nd in the majors to Boston (614.2), and own a 3.92(5) ERA, 2nd in the AL behind Houston’s 3.92(2)…since July 8, Rays starters lead the AL with a 2.87 ERA (91-IP, 29-ER), and since the All-Star break they own a 3.05 ERA (76.2-IP, 26-ER), 2nd in the AL to Oakland (2.87).

Ê Rays pitchers have yielded a home run in 12 consecutive games, their longest streak since April 25–May 8, 2013 (12).

Ê Yesterday was the 500th consecutive Rays game started by a pitch-er under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors… 35-year-old LH Erik Bedard (July 3, 2014 at DET) was the last 30-plus pitcher to start a game for the Rays.

RAYS vs. YANKEES—The Rays are 4-5 in the season series (4-2 home, 0-3 here)…Rays were swept in the Yankee Stadium home opener, April 10-13, but won 2 of 3 games in both series at home, their season opener April 2-5 and May 19-21…the Rays are seeking their first series win at Yankee Stadium since a 3-game sweep June 30–July 2, 2014, and have lost eight consecutive series since then, going 6-18…the Rays have homered in 12 straight games in this ballpark (since April 23, 2016), the 2nd-longest streak by any visitor at new Yankee Stadium behind their own streak of 13 (July 28, 2013–Sep 11, 2014)…last year the Rays set single-season records by hitting 37 HR vs. the Yankees, and 22 HR at Yankee Stadium (old or new).

Ê The Rays went 8-11 against the Yankees in 2016 (5-4 at home, 3-7 on the road)…since 2010, the Rays are the only AL team with a win-ning record against the Yankees (71-68, .510)…prior to that, they were 69-133 (.342) in their first 12 seasons (1998–2009).

LONGO LOVES NEW YORK…—3B Evan Longoria leads all active play-ers with 34 HR (tied with TOR José Bautista) and 103 RBI vs. the Yan-kees…his 103 RBI are 20 more than any other active player (BAL Adam Jones)…32 of those 34 HR have come as a third baseman, a mark sur-passed only by Hall of Famer BAL Brooks Robinson (all 34) in baseball history…Longoria has done this in 158 games over 10 seasons; Robinson did it in 328 games over 23 seasons…Longoria has 78 career hits and 47 RBI at new Yankee Stadium, most of any visiting player…his 15 HR here have been topped by only José Bautista (18) among visitors.

Ê Is a career .405/.511/.811 (30-for-74) hitter with 7 HR off tonight’s starter LH CC Sabathia…7 HR are most of any hitter vs. Sabathia.

…AND HE’S GETTING TOASTY—3B Evan Longoria went 3-for-4 yester-day with a go-ahead, 2-run homer…since July 4, he ranks 5th in the AL with a .362 avg. (25-for-69), raising his season avg. from .254 to .273 while hitting safely in 16 of 18 games…each month this season, his avg. has been higher than the previous month: .208 in April, .272 in May, .283 in June and .346 in July…Longoria leads the majors with 9 SF, and has 73 SF since his 2008 rookie season—10 more than any other player in baseball (Albert Pujols).

ABOUT THE OFFENSE—The Rays rank 3rd in the AL with 146 HR, trailing Houston (165) and Texas (154), and one ahead of New York (145)…they are on pace for a club-record 232 HR (216 in 2016)…their 146 HR are a club record through 102 games (prev. 133 in 2016) and their 469 runs are their most since 2013 (475)…the Rays lead the majors with a club-record 11 back-to-back home runs, and no other team has more than 9 (Royals)…according to FanGraphs, the Rays hold the majors 2nd-best hard-hit ball pct. (35.7), trailing only the Tigers (40.5).

Ê The Rays now have three players with at least 60 RBI (Steven Souza Jr. 63, Logan Morrison 62, Evan Longoria 61)…the Astros (Carlos Correa, George Springer, Marwin Gonzalez) are the only other AL team that can make that claim.

STEVEN SOUZA JR.—Took over the team lead in RBI yesterday (63), ex-tending his career high…also has a career-high 21 HR and 52 BB…batting .311/.400/.649 (23-for-74) with 4 2B, 7 HR, 14 RBI and 9 BB over his last 21 games (since June 30)…all 21 HR have come vs. RHP, which according to the Elias Sports Bureau makes him the first RH 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.

PICKED CLEAN—According to FanGraphs, the Rays lead the American League with 31 Defensive Runs Saved, ahead of Boston (21), and rank 2nd in the majors behind Cincinnati (46).

SURVIVAL OF THE DEEPEST—The Rays have nine players currently on the DL, and this season have had 20 different players serve a total of 24 DL stints…three times there have been 13 players on the DL, tying the club re-cord…the Rays have gone 22-18 (.550) since CF Kevin Kiermaier went on the DL on June 9 with a right hip fracture…by comparison, they went 14-34 (.292) when Kiermaier went on the DL last season.

Ê On Mon vs. BAL, C Wilson Ramos suffered a laceration on his head, which required six stitches to close, on a broken bat by Ruben Te-jada…the very next night, he appeared as a PH, and he started at catcher yesterday—just 39 hours after the injury—and hit a double.

Ê Kiermaier and INF Daniel Robertson (neck spasms) will both begin rehab assignments tonight for Class-A Charlotte…Kiermaier will play CF and Robertson will play 2B.
