HEADED HOME—The Rays are off tomorrow—their 7th day off in a stretch of 15 days, including the All-Star break—and on Friday begin a 9-game, homestand vs. Boston (July 25-27), Milwaukee (July 28-30) and Los Ange- les (Aug 1-3)…while the Rays are 15-3 over their last three road trips, they are 10-14 over their last three homestands. Ê At Friday’s game vs. Boston, the commemorative Don Zimmer Snow Globe—which was scheduled prior to his passing—is available to fans as part of a Tampa Bay Times Ticket Tandem…proceeds from the Don Zimmer Snow Globe will benefit the Rays Baseball Founda- tion…visit raysbaseball.com/tandems for details. PLAY TIME—On Saturday at 10 a.m., Tropicana Field will host PLAY—Pro- moting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth—an interactive fitness seminar for kids ages 7-17 and their parents…among those in attendance will be Rays head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield, the Rays athletic training staff, members of the Taylor Hooton Foundation and OF David DeJesus, a charter member of the THF Advisory Board of Major Leaguers…to register for the free event, call (727) 825-3306…media should contact (727) 825-3242. RAY MATTER—The Rays have won 6 straight games, their longest since a 7-game streak, Sep 20-26, 2013…since the streak began on July 12, the pitching staff leads the majors with a 1.33 ERA (54-IP, 8-ER) and .195 opp avg. (38-for-195)—in- cluding a 0.66 ERA (13.2-IP, 1-ER) and .146 opp avg. (7-for-48) by the bullpen…through June 29, they owned the worst record in the majors, but in the 3-1/2 weeks since then they’ve passed 11 teams: MIA, NYM, BOS, MIN, ARI, SD, PHI, HOU, CHC, TEX and COL…some additional hot streaks: Ê 17-5 (.773) since June 25…the Rays own the majors’ best record since the day Vanderbilt won the Col- lege World Series…the Rays have two Vandy alumni in LH David Price and C Curt Casali. Ê 15-4 (.789) since June 28…batting .283/.360/.444 and averaging 5.2 R/G during this stretch. Ê 12-4 (.733) in July, best record in the majors…last night they clinched a winning July for the fifth time in club history (21-5 in 2013, 19-7 in 2010, 13-12 in 2008, 14-12 in 2003). ROAD RESURGENCE—The Rays are 4-0 on the current road trip which ends today (3-0 at MIN, 1-0 here) and have a chance for the first undefeated road trip of 2 or more cities in club history…previous best trips were 9-1 (.900), April 12-22, 2010 at BAL/BOS/CWS and 5-1 for a two-city trip (5 times, last Sep 25-30, 2012 at BOS/CWS)…their current 7-game road win- ning streak is one shy of the franchise record (see chart)…it’s their longest road streak since a club-record-tying 8 games, April 23–May 8, 2011. Ê During the 7-game road winning streak they have scored 5 runs or more in each game, matching the club record streak on the road (4th time, last May 27–June 10, 2007)…the Rays began the 2014 campaign 11-22 on the road—a stretch that was capped off by a 10- game road losing streak—but since then are 15-3 over the last three road trips to progress to 26-25…a breakdown of these two stretches: Ê Through June 3: 11-22, 4.63 ERA, 2.9 R/G, .222/.289/.339, 24 HR Ê June 13–current: 15-3, 2.78 ERA, 5.1 R/G, .287/.356/.467, 21 HR RACE FOR .500—Today the Rays are only 5 games under .500 for the first time since they were 23-28 through May 25…they haven’t been 4 games under since they were 15-19 through May 7…their deepest valley of the season was 18 under (24-42) through June 10. Ê Rays are attempting to become the fourth team in major league histo- ry to fall to 18 games below .500 and return to .500, joining the 1899 Louisville Colonels (22 under), 2004 Devil Rays (18 under) and 2006 Marlins (20 under)—but none of those clubs finished the year at .500. WILD CARD RACEThe Rays gained a game on Seattle last night for the second Wild Card spot…their current 5.5-game deficit for the second Wild Card berth is their smallest since they were 5.0 GB of the Yankees through May 27…the gap grew as large as 11.5 GB, most recently through June 24. DIVISION RACE—Last night’s 7-2 win over St. Louis, combined with Bos- ton’s 7-3 loss to Toronto, moved the Rays out of the AL East cellar…they’ve had at least a share of 4th place for 11 of the past 13 days, after a 39-day stay in the AL East cellar through July 5…the Rays have cut their season- high deficit of 15.0 GB (through June 10) down to 8.0 GB currently. Ê The Rays begin the second half by playing 21 of their first 24 games vs. teams outside the AL East, with this weekend’s series vs. Boston (July 26-27) the lone exception…from Aug 22–Sep 17 the Rays will play 26 straight games vs. AL East foes (9 vs. TOR, 7 vs. BAL, 4 vs. BOS, 6 vs. NYY). WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?—Here are a few scenarios of what the Rays need to do in order to reach various benchmarks, assuming no rainouts: .500 by end of July 6-1 (.857) .500 by season’s end 33-28 (.541) 90 wins by season’s end 42-19 (.689) RAYS vs. CARDINALS—The Rays lead the season series, 2-1…the clubs split a 2-game series at Tropicana Field, June 10-11…the Rays are 5-7 all- time vs. St. Louis (3-5 at home, 2-2 here)…this 2-game series is the Rays second-ever trip to St. Louis, as they lost 2 of 3 games May 16-18, 2008… only two players from that team are still with the Rays: 3B Evan Longoria and UTL Ben Zobrist. AT HIS BEST vs. THE BEST—Since the start of 2013, tonight’s starter RH Alex Cobb has made 14 starts vs. a team that made the postseason the year before and is 9-2 with a 2.01 ERA (98.1-IP, 64-H, 23-R, 22-ER, 28-BB, 86-SO) in these contests while the Rays have won 11 of those 14 games. LONGO THE LEADER—With his 9th-inning solo homer last night, 3B Evan Longoria broke Carl Crawford’s franchise record for RBI, 593 to 592… Evan broke Crawford’s franchise doubles record on Sun at MIN with his 216th, and on April 19 broke Carlos Peña’s home run record with his 163rd (now 174)…he needs 23 XBH to break Crawford’s record of 424. A BIG WIN—Last night the Rays handed the majors’ ERA leader Adam Wainwright his shortest start of the season (4.2 IP) and worked him for 4 walks, matching his season high from Opening Day at Cincinnati…the Rays rallied for a 5-run 5th inning, after he’d allowed 4 runs in his previous 6 starts combined…included in that frame was a bases-loaded walk by 1B James Loney—the first bases-loaded walk allowed by Wainwright since SD Yon- der Alonso on Sep 11, 2012. JAKE ODORIZZI—Highland, Ill., native added 8 SO last night in 5.2 innings and now has 124 SO in 106.2 IP…he’s currently on pace for 199 SO, a mark reached by only one American-born rookie in the last 30 years: CHC Kerry Wood (233) in 1998…other rookies to do it since then are TEX Yu Darvish (221 in 2012), BOS Daisuke Matsuzaka (201 in 2007) and LAD Hideo Nomo (236 in 1995). INTERLEAGUE & PITCHERS HITTING—The Rays are 5-8 in interleague play this season, and have dropped 13 of their last 18, since they finished the 2013 season on a 5-game skid in interleague play…Rays pitchers are 0-for-12 with 5 SO at the plate this season, and are 0-for-18 with 10 SO since the last hit (Jeremy Hellickson, infield single Aug 6, 2013 at ARI Wade Mi- ley)…only one pitcher has homered in Rays history: Esteban Yan on June 4, 2000 at NYM on the first pitch he’d seen in his career, off Bobby Jones. Ê Last night Jake Odorizzi—in his first plate appearance since the state championship game at Highland High School—executed a per- fect safety squeeze, scoring James Loney on a 1st-and-3rd bunt play…he became the second pitcher in Rays history to record an RBI bunt, joining Matt Moore on June 9, 2012 at MIA in a similar 1st-and- 3rd situation, scoring Elliot Johnson. Ê Odorizzi drew a walk in the 5th off Wainwright…Rays pitchers have drawn 11 walks since 2008, 4 more than any other AL club in this span (exception of Houston)…Angels and Yankees pitchers have 7 BB.

Ê At Friday’s game vs. Boston, the commemorative Don Zimmer Snow Globe—which was scheduled prior to his passing—is available to fans as part of a Tampa Bay Times Ticket Tandem…proceeds from the Don Zimmer Snow Globe will benefit the Rays Baseball Founda-tion…visit raysbaseball.com/tandems for details.

RAY MATTER—The Rays have won 6 straight games, their longest since a 7-game streak, Sep 20-26, 2013…since the streak began on July 12, the pitching staff leads the majors with a 1.33 ERA (54-IP, 8-ER) and .195 opp avg. (38-for-195)—in-cluding a 0.66 ERA (13.2-IP, 1-ER) and .146 opp avg. (7-for-48) by the bullpen…through June 29, they owned the worst record in the majors, but in the 3-1/2 weeks since then they’ve passed 11 teams: MIA, NYM, BOS, MIN, ARI, SD, PHI, HOU, CHC, TEX and COL…some additional hot streaks:

Ê 17-5 (.773) since June 25…the Rays own the majors’ best record since the day Vanderbilt won the Col-lege World Series…the Rays have two Vandy alumni in LH David Price and C Curt Casali.

Ê 15-4 (.789) since June 28…batting .283/.360/.444 and averaging 5.2 R/G during this stretch.

Ê 12-4 (.733) in July, best record in the majors…last night they clinched a winning July for the fifth time in club history (21-5 in 2013, 19-7 in 2010, 13-12 in 2008, 14-12 in 2003).

ROAD RESURGENCE—The Rays are 4-0 on the current road trip which ends today (3-0 at MIN, 1-0 here) and have a chance for the first undefeated road trip of 2 or more cities in club history…previous best trips were 9-1 (.900), April 12-22, 2010 at BAL/BOS/CWS and 5-1 for a two-city trip (5 times, last Sep 25-30, 2012 at BOS/CWS)…their current 7-game road win-ning streak is one shy of the franchise record (see chart)…it’s their longest road streak since a club-record-tying 8 games, April 23–May 8, 2011.

Ê During the 7-game road winning streak they have scored 5 runs or more in each game, matching the club record streak on the road (4th time, last May 27–June 10, 2007)…the Rays began the 2014 campaign 11-22 on the road—a stretch that was capped off by a 10-game road losing streak—but since then are 15-3 over the last three road trips to progress to 26-25…a breakdown of these two stretches:

Ê Through June 3: 11-22, 4.63 ERA, 2.9 R/G, .222/.289/.339, 24 HR Ê June 13–current: 15-3, 2.78 ERA, 5.1 R/G, .287/.356/.467, 21 HR

RACE FOR .500—Today the Rays are only 5 games under .500 for the first time since they were 23-28 through May 25…they haven’t been 4 games under since they were 15-19 through May 7…their deepest valley of the season was 18 under (24-42) through June 10.

Ê Rays are attempting to become the fourth team in major league histo-ry to fall to 18 games below .500 and return to .500, joining the 1899 Louisville Colonels (22 under), 2004 Devil Rays (18 under) and 2006 Marlins (20 under)—but none of those clubs finished the year at .500.

WILD CARD RACE—The Rays gained a game on Seattle last night for the second Wild Card spot…their current 5.5-game deficit for the second Wild Card berth is their smallest since they were 5.0 GB of the Yankees through May 27…the gap grew as large as 11.5 GB, most recently through June 24.

DIVISION RACE—Last night’s 7-2 win over St. Louis, combined with Bos-ton’s 7-3 loss to Toronto, moved the Rays out of the AL East cellar…they’ve had at least a share of 4th place for 11 of the past 13 days, after a 39-day stay in the AL East cellar through July 5…the Rays have cut their season-high deficit of 15.0 GB (through June 10) down to 8.0 GB currently.

Ê The Rays begin the second half by playing 21 of their first 24 games vs. teams outside the AL East, with this weekend’s series vs. Boston (July 26-27) the lone exception…from Aug 22–Sep 17 the Rays will play 26 straight games vs. AL East foes (9 vs. TOR, 7 vs. BAL, 4 vs. BOS, 6 vs. NYY).

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?—Here are a few scenarios of what the Rays need to do in order to reach various benchmarks, assuming no rainouts:

.500 by end of July 6-1 (.857)

.500 by season’s end 33-28 (.541)90 wins by season’s end 42-19 (.689)

RAYS vs. CARDINALS—The Rays lead the season series, 2-1…the clubs split a 2-game series at Tropicana Field, June 10-11…the Rays are 5-7 all-time vs. St. Louis (3-5 at home, 2-2 here)…this 2-game series is the Rays second-ever trip to St. Louis, as they lost 2 of 3 games May 16-18, 2008…only two players from that team are still with the Rays: 3B Evan Longoria and UTL Ben Zobrist.

AT HIS BEST vs. THE BEST—Since the start of 2013, tonight’s starter RH Alex Cobb has made 14 starts vs. a team that made the postseason the year before and is 9-2 with a 2.01 ERA (98.1-IP, 64-H, 23-R, 22-ER, 28-BB, 86-SO) in these contests while the Rays have won 11 of those 14 games.

LONGO THE LEADER—With his 9th-inning solo homer last night, 3B Evan Longoria broke Carl Crawford’s franchise record for RBI, 593 to 592…Evan broke Crawford’s franchise doubles record on Sun at MIN with his 216th, and on April 19 broke Carlos Peña’s home run record with his 163rd (now 174)…he needs 23 XBH to break Crawford’s record of 424.

A BIG WIN—Last night the Rays handed the majors’ ERA leader Adam Wainwright his shortest start of the season (4.2 IP) and worked him for 4 walks, matching his season high from Opening Day at Cincinnati…the Rays rallied for a 5-run 5th inning, after he’d allowed 4 runs in his previous 6 starts combined…included in that frame was a bases-loaded walk by 1B James Loney—the first bases-loaded walk allowed by Wainwright since SD Yon-der Alonso on Sep 11, 2012.

owns a career 725-673 (.519) record with the Rays: 127-197 (.392) in his first two seasons (2006-07) and 598-476 (.557) since the start of 2008…the Rays were 518-775 (.401) prior to his arrival.

Ê Two-time AL Manager of the Year (2008, 2010)…only two other head coaches/managers among Florida’s major pro teams have lasted as long: Don Shula (Dolphins, 26 years) and John McKay (Bucs, 9 years).

Ê LAST START—On Sat at MIN, turned in 8 scoreless innings for a sec-ond straight start and won his 5th consecutive start, a new career high…marked his 10th straight quality start (6 IP or more, 3 ER or less), extend-ing the 2nd-longest streak of his career (12, June 19–Aug 21, 2012)…his line: 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R/ER, 0 BB, 9 SO, 119 pitches, 87 strikes.

Ê LAST START—On Fri at MIN, led the Rays to a win to start the unof-ficial second half…allowed 2 R on 5 H over 5.2 IP for his 5th win of the season, replaced by Brad Boxberger with 2-on, 2-out in the 6th…only runs allowed was a 2-run homer by Trevor Plouffe in the 3rd…his line: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R/ER, 2 BB, 2 SO, 1 HR, 2 HBP, 99 pitches, 62 strikes.
