TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 vs. MINNESOTA TWINS RH Jake Odorizzi (7-7, 4.85) vs. RH Bartolo Colón (6-10, 6.25) ROSTER MOVES—The Rays have selected RH Chaz Roe and recalled OF Mallex Smith and LH José Alvarado from Triple-A Durham…to make room for Roe on the 40-man roster, RH Taylor Guerrieri was recalled and placed on the 60-day DL with a right elbow strain…Roe will become the 53rd player used by the Rays this season, breaking the club record (52 in 2000), and the 30th pitcher used by the Rays this year, extending the club record (prev. 25 in 2015 and 2006)…Roe will wear No. 52. Ê RH Chris Archer was examined yesterday by Dr. Koco Eaton, who confirmed the diagnosis of lateral right forearm tightness…no struc- tural damage was found…he will play catch today and be reevalu- ated…Archer exited his start Saturday in Chicago after 8 pitches. LONGO HONORED—Today Major League Baseball announced the 30 club nominees for the 2017 Roberto Clemente Award, and 3B Evan Long- oria was selected as the Rays recipient for the second time in his career (also 2014)…the award is the annual recognition of a player from each club who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field…tomorrow is the official, leaguewide 16th annual Roberto Clemente Day, but the Rays will celebrate it and honor Longoria in a pre- game ceremony on Sep 15 vs. BOS. RAY MATTER—The Rays won last night’s series opener, 11-4, their high- est-scoring game at Tropicana Field since June 23 vs. BAL (15-5)…twice last night the Rays mounted a 4-run inning without a home run (6th and 8th), the club’s first innings of that type since a 5-run 5th inning on June 23 vs. BAL…the Rays have won 9 of their last 14 games, after losing their prev. 4 straight games, 8 of 9 and 12 of 15…with a win tonight, the Rays would return to .500 for the 22nd time this season (excluding 0-0)…after this brief 3-game homestand, the Rays are scheduled for an off-day Thursday and a brief 3-game road trip to Boston, then return home for an 8-game, 10-day homestand against the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs. Ê Last night the Rays improved to 5-11 all-time on Labor Day, but 5-3 at Tropicana Field on the holiday. A TALL TASK—All 23 of the Rays remaining games are against contend- ers within 1.5 games of a postseason spot…21 of those 23 against teams ahead of them in the AL Wild Card or AL East standings, and the other 2 games are vs. the defending World Champion Chicago Cubs…this series began a stretch of 14 consecutive games vs. teams currently holding a postseason spot…their remaining schedule: 2 vs. MIN, 3 at BOS, 3 vs. NYY, 3 vs. BOS, 2 vs. CHC, 4 at BAL, 3 at NYY, 3 vs. BAL. Ê The Rays are currently playing 9 straight games vs. AL Central op- ponents (4-3) and 12 straight outside the AL East (6-4)…after this series vs. MIN, 19 of their final 21 games are within the division. Ê The Rays need to go at least 12-11 to achieve Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager, 13-10 to finish with a winning record, 16-7 to reach 85 wins and 21-2 to reach 90 wins…for context, their best 24-game stretch in Cash’s tenure is 16-7 (May 31–June 23, 2015). TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE—The Rays and Twins are two of sev- en teams separated by 3 games vying for the second AL Wild Card position, and two of eight teams separated by 6 games competing for the two Wild Card berths…last night the Rays moved within 3 games of Minnesota, who leads the second Wild Card, and gained ground on Baltimore and Seattle…they held steady on New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Kansas City. Ê According to FanGraphs, the Rays have a 6.9 pct. chance of reaching the postseason, and a 3.4 pct. chance of reaching the Division Series. HOME RUN STREAK REACHES 15The Rays have hit a home run in 15 straight games, tied for the third-longest streak in club history and tied for the second-longest streak in club history within one season (see chart)…the lon- gest streak in the majors this season is 19 games by Houston (May 23–June 11)…during these 15 games, the Rays have scored 75 runs and hit 30 HR, averaging 5.00 R/G and 2.00 HR/G…over the previous 14 games (Aug 4-18), they scored 24 runs and hit 8 HR (1.71 R/G, 0.57 HR/G). POWER PLAY—The Rays rank 5th in the AL with 197 HR, putting them on pace for a club-record 230 HR…this is already their 3rd-highest total in club history, behind 2016 (216) and 2009 (199)…there are 47 players in the majors who have hit at least 25 HR, but the Rays are the only team with four of them on their roster in Logan Morrison (36), Steven Souza Jr. (29), Corey Dickerson (26) and Lucas Duda (26; 9 with the Rays)…with Souza’s next homer, he can join Morrison as the fourth pair of Rays team- mates to hit 30 HR apiece—the last duo to do this was Evan Longoria (36) and Brad Miller (30) in 2016, who this year have combined for only 24 HR. Ê The Rays lead the majors with a club-record 12 back-to-back home runs, ahead of the Orioles and D-backs (11). LOMO LOCKED IN—1B Logan Morrison hit his 36th home run last night, tying Evan Longoria (2016) for 3rd most in club history behind Carlos Peña in 2007 (46) and 2009 (39)…he has homered in 4 of his last 5 games, and has 7 HR and 14 RBI total over the last 8 games…prior to these last 8 games, he totaled 1 HR and 2 RBI in his previous 20 games (Aug 3-25)… last night was only his third of his last 19 HR to come at Tropicana Field. COREY DICKERSON—Last night recorded 3 XBH (2-2B, 1-HR), matching the most by a Ray this season (fourth time, last Evan Longoria on Aug 1 at HOU)…he homered to CF, doubled to LF and doubled to RF…it was his fourth career game with at least 3 XBH (last Aug 26, 2016 at HOU)…his 8 total bases tied a season high (fourth time)…his homer snapped an 0-for-13 skid and extended his career high, his 26th of the season. RAYS vs. TWINS—The Rays are 3-1 this season, and they can clinch the season series with a victory tonight or tomorrow…they won 2 of 3 games at Target Field, May 26-28, winning the rubber match 8-6 in 15 innings…the Rays are seeking their first series win at home over the Twins since July 8-11, 2013, a 4-game sweep…the Rays are 75-71 all-time vs. MIN (37-32 home, 38-39 road)…since the start of 2011, the Rays are 31-15 (.674) vs. MIN. THE SENIOR CIRCUIT—Tonight the Rays oppose 44-year-old RH Bartolo Colón, who is the last active player who debuted before the Rays played their first game…Colón has pitched against Rays 1B coach Rocco Baldelli (6-for-16, 2 HR, 4 RBI), and 3B coach Charlie Montoyo in Double-A ball in 1996 (Colón for Canton-Akron, Montoyo for Harrisburg)…he was a teammate of Manager Kevin Cash, who caught him for one game with Boston (Sep 13, 2008 vs. TOR, Game 2 of DH), as well as Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson (1997 Indians)…he is 4 years older than Cash, 8 years older than Baldelli and 21 years older than the pitcher the Rays faced last night, RH José Berrios. Ê Colón will become the oldest pitcher to face the Rays since BOS Tim Wakefield (45y, 47d) on Sep 18, 2011 at Fenway Park…only three pitchers older than Colón have ever started a game vs. the Rays, and only one has earned a win: Oldest Pitchers to Start a Game vs. Tampa Bay 46y, 217d LH Jamie Moyer W, 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER 6/23/09 vs. PHI 45y, 47d RH Tim Wakefield L, 5.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER 9/18/11 at BOS 44y, 343d RH Roger Clemens L, 5.1 IP, 5 H, 5 ER 7/13/07 vs. NYY 44y, 316d RH Tim Wakefield L, 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER 6/14/11 vs. BOS 44y, 104d RH Bartolo Colón -- 9/5/17 vs. MIN Ê Colón is making his 25th career start vs. the Rays, first since Aug 9, 2015 here (with the Mets)…this is the seventh different uniform he’s worn when facing the Rays (prev. Indians, White Sox, Angels, Yan- kees, A’s, Mets, Twins), most of any starting pitcher and tied for the most of any player overall—also RH Latroy Hawkins, RH Octavio Dotel, INF Danny Valencia, INF Wilson Betemit and C Sal Fasano. Ê Colón’s last win vs. TB was April 26, 2007 (with the Angels) in Ana- heim…the first time he faced them was May 1, 1998 (with the Indians) in Cleveland, the 27th game in Tampa Bay history, a 7-5 Indians win. OUTLAW ON THE LOOSE—Since returning from the 60-day DL on Aug 18, CF Kevin Kiermaier has hit leadoff in all 16 games and is batting .379/.417/.621 (25-for-66) with 15 runs, 5 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 12 RBI and 3 SB… he ranks 5th in the AL in batting over that span…despite the missed time, he is tied with TOR Kevin Pillar for 2nd among major league center fielders with 16 Defensive Runs Saved in only 661.2 innings behind MIN Byron Buxton (23 DRS in 950 innings)…Pillar has played 1,158.2 innings in CF. ADEINY HECHAVARRIA—Joined the Rays on June 28 after being ac- quired from the Marlins in a trade…since that date, he ranks 3rd among AL shortstops with a .982 fielding pct., with 4 errors in 226 chances.

ROSTER MOVES—The Rays have selected RH Chaz Roe and recalled OF Mallex Smith and LH José Alvarado from Triple-A Durham…to make room for Roe on the 40-man roster, RH Taylor Guerrieri was recalled and placed on the 60-day DL with a right elbow strain…Roe will become the 53rd player used by the Rays this season, breaking the club record (52 in 2000), and the 30th pitcher used by the Rays this year, extending the club record (prev. 25 in 2015 and 2006)…Roe will wear No. 52.

Ê RH Chris Archer was examined yesterday by Dr. Koco Eaton, who confirmed the diagnosis of lateral right forearm tightness…no struc-tural damage was found…he will play catch today and be reevalu-ated…Archer exited his start Saturday in Chicago after 8 pitches.

LONGO HONORED—Today Major League Baseball announced the 30 club nominees for the 2017 Roberto Clemente Award, and 3B Evan Long-oria was selected as the Rays recipient for the second time in his career (also 2014)…the award is the annual recognition of a player from each club who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field…tomorrow is the official, leaguewide 16th annual Roberto Clemente Day, but the Rays will celebrate it and honor Longoria in a pre-game ceremony on Sep 15 vs. BOS.

RAY MATTER—The Rays won last night’s series opener, 11-4, their high-est-scoring game at Tropicana Field since June 23 vs. BAL (15-5)…twice last night the Rays mounted a 4-run inning without a home run (6th and 8th), the club’s first innings of that type since a 5-run 5th inning on June 23 vs. BAL…the Rays have won 9 of their last 14 games, after losing their prev. 4 straight games, 8 of 9 and 12 of 15…with a win tonight, the Rays would return to .500 for the 22nd time this season (excluding 0-0)…after this brief 3-game homestand, the Rays are scheduled for an off-day Thursday and a brief 3-game road trip to Boston, then return home for an 8-game, 10-day homestand against the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs.

Ê Last night the Rays improved to 5-11 all-time on Labor Day, but 5-3 at Tropicana Field on the holiday.

A TALL TASK—All 23 of the Rays remaining games are against contend-ers within 1.5 games of a postseason spot…21 of those 23 against teams ahead of them in the AL Wild Card or AL East standings, and the other 2 games are vs. the defending World Champion Chicago Cubs…this series began a stretch of 14 consecutive games vs. teams currently holding a postseason spot…their remaining schedule: 2 vs. MIN, 3 at BOS, 3 vs. NYY, 3 vs. BOS, 2 vs. CHC, 4 at BAL, 3 at NYY, 3 vs. BAL.

Ê The Rays are currently playing 9 straight games vs. AL Central op-ponents (4-3) and 12 straight outside the AL East (6-4)…after this series vs. MIN, 19 of their final 21 games are within the division.

Ê The Rays need to go at least 12-11 to achieve Kevin Cash’s best record as Rays manager, 13-10 to finish with a winning record, 16-7 to reach 85 wins and 21-2 to reach 90 wins…for context, their best 24-game stretch in Cash’s tenure is 16-7 (May 31–June 23, 2015).

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE—The Rays and Twins are two of sev-en teams separated by 3 games vying for the second AL Wild Card position, and two of eight teams separated by 6 games competing for the two Wild Card berths…last night the Rays moved within 3 games of Minnesota, who leads the second Wild Card, and gained ground on Baltimore and Seattle…they held steady on New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Kansas City.

Ê According to FanGraphs, the Rays have a 6.9 pct. chance of reaching the postseason, and a 3.4 pct. chance of reaching the Division Series.

POWER PLAY—The Rays rank 5th in the AL with 197 HR, putting them on pace for a club-record 230 HR…this is already their 3rd-highest total in club history, behind 2016 (216) and 2009 (199)…there are 47 players in the majors who have hit at least 25 HR, but the Rays are the only team with four of them on their roster in Logan Morrison (36), Steven Souza Jr. (29), Corey Dickerson (26) and Lucas Duda (26; 9 with the Rays)…with Souza’s next homer, he can join Morrison as the fourth pair of Rays team-mates to hit 30 HR apiece—the last duo to do this was Evan Longoria (36) and Brad Miller (30) in 2016, who this year have combined for only 24 HR.

Ê The Rays lead the majors with a club-record 12 back-to-back home runs, ahead of the Orioles and D-backs (11).

RAYS vs. TWINS—The Rays are 3-1 this season, and they can clinch the season series with a victory tonight or tomorrow…they won 2 of 3 games at Target Field, May 26-28, winning the rubber match 8-6 in 15 innings…the Rays are seeking their first series win at home over the Twins since July 8-11, 2013, a 4-game sweep…the Rays are 75-71 all-time vs. MIN (37-32 home, 38-39 road)…since the start of 2011, the Rays are 31-15 (.674) vs. MIN.

THE SENIOR CIRCUIT—Tonight the Rays oppose 44-year-old RH Bartolo Colón, who is the last active player who debuted before the Rays played their first game…Colón has pitched against Rays 1B coach Rocco Baldelli (6-for-16, 2 HR, 4 RBI), and 3B coach Charlie Montoyo in Double-A ball in 1996 (Colón for Canton-Akron, Montoyo for Harrisburg)…he was a teammate of Manager Kevin Cash, who caught him for one game with Boston (Sep 13, 2008 vs. TOR, Game 2 of DH), as well as Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson (1997 Indians)…he is 4 years older than Cash, 8 years older than Baldelli and 21 years older than the pitcher the Rays faced last night, RH José Berrios.
