Ê The Rays are 16-7 over their last 23 home games…they are attempt- ing to record their third straight winning homestand after being the last AL team to record one. Ê Today is the sixth of 26 consecutive games the Rays are playing vs. AL East opponents from Aug 29–Sep 25 (3-2 so far). IF NOT FOR YOU—The Rays went 3-24 from June 16–July 16, the worst 27-game stretch in club history and worst by an AL club in a season since the Tigers began the 2003 season 3-25…apart from that, they are 55-52. RALLY CAPS ON—The Rays trailed 1-0 as they began the 6th inning last night, then rallied for 5 runs on 6 hits…it was the 12th time this season scor- ing 5-plus runs in an inning, and sixth time since the beginning of August… tied their season highs for a single inning with 6 hits and 10 PA…the first 7 batters reached base before an out was made…according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Rays streak of hits in 6 straight at-bats (not PA) was their longest to start an inning in four years plus one day…on Sep 2, 2012 at Rogers Centre, they began the 2nd inning by going 6-for-their-first-6 en route to a 6-run inning and a 9-4 victory over the Blue Jays, helping LH David Price pick up his 17th win. SMALL BALL & POWER BALL—Last night CF Kevin Kiermaier delivered a bunt single to load the bases during the 6th-inning rally, his fourth bunt single of the season—all since moving to the No. 2 spot on Aug 2…all other Rays have 4 bunt singles combined this year…added a 2-run homer in the 7th inning, becoming the first Rays player with a bunt single and homer in the same game since OF Steven Souza Jr. on June 17, 2015 at WAS—whose bunt single came on a play that was thrown away by RH Blake Treinen, al- lowing Souza to score on a “little league home run”…it was Kiermaier’s 10th career bunt single but his first game with a bunt single and a homer. RAYS vs. JAYS—The Rays lead the season series, 9-6 (5-4 here, 4-2 at Rogers Centre) and need to win only one of the remaining 4 games to clinch the season series for the eighth time in the last nine seasons (since 2008)… Tampa Bay has played Toronto exactly 162 times in the Rays era (since 2008) and is 99-63 (.611)…in the season series, the Rays have outscored Toronto, 80-60; have hit a home run in 14 of the 15 games; and have out- homered the Jays, 24-20…Toronto has out-homered all other opponents this season, 176-132.

MUSCLE MEN—The Rays have hit 180 HR this season, already tied for their 4th most in club history (see chart) and putting them on pace for 218… the Rays rank 7th in the majors in homers but 21st in runs scored (563). LOGAN FORSYTHE—Has reached base in 16 of his last 25 PA (.640 OBP), including 8 of his 10 PA in this series…has reached base 4 times in back-to-back games for the second time in just over a month (also Aug 2-3 vs. KC), and the only other Ray to do that this year is Brandon Guyer (April 16-17)…the only player in Rays history to reach base 4 times in 3 straight games is Carlos Peña, May 24-26, 2008. Ê Is batting .447/.527/.745 (21-for- 47) vs. Toronto this season, tied with BOS Wade Boggs (1985) for 6th-highest avg. all-time. SUPER BRAD—1B Brad Miller has 30 RBI in 30 games since the begin- ning of August, 4th in the majors behind COL Nolan Arenado (38), BOS Mookie Betts (31) and MIN Brian Dozier (31)…he already has more RBI since the All-Star break (37 in 42 games) than he collected before it (32 in 81 games)…last night drew his third career bases-loaded walk, first since June 23, 2015 vs. KC (with Mariners)…it was the second time this season the Rays have broken a tie on a bases-loaded walk—on June 15 vs. SEA, Logan Morrison drew a walk-off walk in the 13th. Ê Twenty of his 26 HR this season have come at Tropicana Field (76.9 pct.)—the highest ratio in the majors of home runs coming at home (min. 20 HR)…his 20 HR at home rank 2nd in the AL to BAL Mark Trumbo (22) and rank 2nd in club history for a single season at Trop- icana Field, behind Carlos Peña in 2007 (23). KEEPING UP WITH EVAN—3B Evan Longoria has hit 31 HR, two shy of his career high (33 in 2009)…he is on pace for career highs in hits (178), homers (37), extra-base hits (82), SLG (.537) and fielding pct. (.980, 1st among AL 3B)…he is also on pace for 41 2B and 102 RBI, which would be his third career 100-RBI season and first by any Ray since he did it in 2010. COLOME REACHES 30 SAVES—RH Alex Colome converted his 30th save last night, becoming the sixth different pitcher (ninth time) to record 30 saves in a season…he joins RH Roberto Hernandez (twice), RH Danys Baez (twice), RH Fernando Rodney (twice), RH Rafael Soriano and RH Brad Boxberger…only two of those previous eight 30-save seasons had as few blown saves as Colome (2) at the time of his 30th save—Rodney in 2012 (30-for-31) and Soriano in 2010 (30-for-32)…Colome will be the Rays 11th different save leader in the past 12 seasons…has a 1.44 ERA (31.1-IP, 5-ER) in save situations and a 3.38 ERA (16-IP, 6-ER) otherwise. Ê Also passed TOR Roberto Osuna for 5th in the AL in saves…his 95.2 pct. ranks 2nd among current AL relievers (min. 20 save opps) behind BAL Zach Britton (100.0). ENNY STREAK MUST END—LH Enny Romero last night yielded 4 R/ER on a hit and a walk over 0.2 IP and was unable to finish the 9th inning after entering with a 7-1 lead…the outing snapped his streak of 7 hitless appear- ances and 14 scoreless apps. CATCH THEM IF YOU CAN—Since the selection of C Bobby Wilson on Aug 5, the Rays catching tandem of Wilson and Luke Maile have combined to bat .292 (26-for-89) with 19 runs, 4 2B, 5 HR and 15 RBI in 27 games. ROCK THE CATWALK—Thirteen balls have struck the catwalks in fair ter- ritory this season at Tropicana Field, tying 2001 and 2000 for most in a single season. BISCUITS CLINCH; BULLS ELIMINATED—Last night the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits clinched the Second Half North Division with a 3-2 walk-off win over Tennessee (Cubs), meaning four of the Rays top six af- filiates reached the postseason…Triple-A Durham was eliminated last night despite a 7-3 win at Gwinnett (Braves)…Class-A Bowling Green, Short-A Hudson Valley and Rookie-level Princeton are also playoff-bound.

Ê LOSSES—Has 17 losses, tied with SD/CWS James Shields for the major league lead…is one shy of tying Tanyon Sturtze’s 2002 club record (18)…his career high prior to this season was 13 (2015).

Ê The last pitcher to reach his combination of losses and strike-outs was MIN/NYM Frank Viola in 1989 (17-L, 211-SO)…only one AL pitcher has ever finished the season leading the league in both strikeouts and losses: CAL Nolan Ryan (1976).

Ê Is on pace for 20 losses, and would be the first 20-game loser since DET Mike Maroth in 2003 (21)…there hasn’t been a 20-loss season by a pitcher who was an All-Star in the season prior since ATL Phil Niekro in 1979 (20).

Ê SECOND HALF—Has gone 4-5 with a 3.05 ERA (59-IP, 20-ER) over his 9 starts since the All-Star break, a 1.61-point improvement on his 4.66 ERA before the break…this stretch has lowered his season ERA from 4.66 to 4.10, which is its lowest since he had a 3.60 ERA following his Opening Day start vs. the Blue Jays.

Ê PITCHING DEEPER—Since the All-Star break, has gone at least 7 IP in 5 of his 9 starts…in comparison, only did it twice in his 19 starts

during the first half…has gone at least 6 IP in 9 of his last 10 starts, including a streak of 8 straight from July 8–Aug 17…has done this in 16 of his last 18 starts, compared to 4 times in his first 10 starts.

Ê A.L. LEADERS—Ranks among AL leaders in SO (202, 1st), SO/9 IP (10.76, 1st), losses (17, 1st), starts (28, T-2nd), BB (60, 8th) and WP (10, T-3rd)…also has a major-league-most 126 SO on the slider.

Ê HOME vs. ROAD—His 2.61 ERA (89.2-IP, 26-ER) at home ranks 2nd in the AL and would be the best by a Ray since Alex Cobb in 2014 (2.59)…in comparison, his 5.79 ERA (79.1-IP, 51-ER) on the road is 3rd-highest in the AL…has received 2.01 R/9 IP in run support (89.2-IP, 20-RS) at home, lowest in the majors, and 6.81 R/9 IP on the road (79.1-IP, 60-RS), 8th highest in the majors.

Ê 1ST INNING—Has a 7.07 ERA (28-IP, 22-ER) in the 1st inning and a 3.51 ERA (141-IP, 55-ER) after that…at home, has a 2.57 ERA (14-IP, 4-ER) in the frame, compared to a 11.57 ERA (14-IP, 18-ER) on the road…hasn’t allowed a 1st-inning run in 10 of his last 12 starts.

Ê K’S FOR KIDS—For the second straight season, every strikeout he records will benefit both Burg Baseball Inc. and Tampa RBI…for every strikeout, he joins the Rays and Channel 10 News to each donate $25 to be split among the youth leagues…this effort raised $18,900 last season and has raised $15,150 so far in 2016…fans can visit raysbaseball.com/archer to pledge a dollar amount for every strikeout, with a minimum pledge of 25 cents…amounts will be collected at the end of each month, based on Archer’s strikeout total that month.
