This is the third straight series the Rays are playing an opponent entering the series in first place in their division (DET, HOU, BAL). The Rays are 6-9 against AL East opponents, and 4-2 outside the division their first 14 games were vs. AL East rivals. ROAD RAGE The Rays hold the majors worst road record (1-7,.125) and have lost 4 straight road games the Rays have hit.217/.289/.390 on the road compared to.279/.351/.444 at Tropicana Field starting pitchers have actually been better on the road, with a 3.48 ERA (41.1-IP, 16-ER) compared to a 4.20 ERA (75-IP, 35-ER) at home the bullpen has a 6.84 ERA (23.2- IP, 18-ER) on the road and 2.20 ERA (45-IP, 11-ER) at home Rays have committed only 4 errors in 13 home games, but 6 errors in 8 road games.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY With rain in the forecast throughout the day, it s worth noting there have been 40 games postponed or cancelled due to weather in Rays history, seven of those at Camden Yards all but one of those seven has come in the month of April the Rays only postponement last season was here on April 9 due to a wintry mix and was made up on June 25 as part of a DH (Rays lost both games). RAYS vs. ORIOLES Tonight is the second of 19 scheduled games (10 here, 9 in St. Pete) this 3-game series is their only meeting within the first 75 games of the Rays season, then 16 of their last 87 games are vs. BAL next meeting is June at Tropicana Field the Rays have lost the last three season series, going (.386) over that span (6-13 in 2016, 9-10 in 2015 and 7-12 in 2014) after going (.606) between last year s 6-13 mark equaled 2006 for their worst record ever vs. BAL, and their 2-8 record at Camden Yards was their 2nd-worst mark behind 2000 (1-5). Evan Longoria has 35 career HR vs. the Orioles, his most vs. any opponent he has 20 HR at Camden Yards, 4th most of any visitor in OPACY history behind Alex Rodriguez (34), David Ortiz (30) and Johnny Damon (22) 34 of those 35 have come while playing 3B, more than any opposing third sacker in the Orioles 63-year history. Last night s leadoff homer by DH Corey Dickerson was the Rays 17th leadoff home run at Camden Yards, most at any road ballpark ahead of Rogers Centre (10) 9 of those 17 have been hit in April. REALMS OF COREY Last night DH Corey Dickerson hit his third leadoff home run of the season in the Rays 21st game, the quickest in Rays history to hit 3 leadoff homers if and when he hits a fourth leadoff homer, it will be the most by any Ray in a season since Rocco Baldelli hit a club-record 5 in 2006 Dickerson s 3 leadoff home runs rank 2nd in the majors to HOU George Springer (4) Springer is the first player with 4 leadoff home runs by the end of April since BAL Brady Anderson in 1996 (4; the year he hit 50 HR); Dickerson has 5 games remaining to join them. Dickerson is tied with LAA Mike Trout for the AL lead in multi-hit games (9) he s tied for 2nd in the AL in extra-base hits (13), one shy of Trout (14) has 7 XBH in his last 7 games the lefty swinger leads all AL hitters with a.474 avg. (9-for-19) vs. LHP, after entering the season with a career.244 avg. vs. LHP he also ranks among AL leaders with a.324 avg. (9th), 24 hits (T-6th), 47 TB (2nd to Trout s 50), 8 2B (2nd), 5 HR (T-6th) and.635 SLG (4th). Since the All-Star break last season, he his 47 XBH rank 2nd in the AL behind MIN Brian Dozier (55). BASH BROTHERS Steven Souza Jr. (1.005) and Corey Dickerson (1.002) are the only AL teammates with a OPS or better they have also combined for 93 total bases (Dickerson 47, Souza 46), most of any AL teammates ahead of LAA Mike Trout (53) and Andrelton Simmons (33) who have combined for 86. SOUZA-PALOOZA OF Steven Souza Jr. is tied for the AL lead with 17 RBI (with TEX Nomar Mazara and CLE José Ramírez) and 26 hits (with LAA Mike Trout) he leads the majors with 7 multi-rbi games he ranks among AL leaders with a.333 avg. (T-6th),.416 OBP (T-6th),.590 SLG (T-7th), OPS (4th), 8 multi-hit games (T-3rd), 14 runs (T-2nd), 46 TB (T-3rd), 6 2B (T-5th) and 11 XBH (T-5th) his.500 avg. with RISP ranks 2nd in the AL behind BAL Adam Jones (.571). With 5 games remaining this month, his 17 RBI are already the most by a Ray in April since Ben Zobrist in 2013 (19) the club record for April is 25 RBI by Zobrist in 2011 they are his most in a calendar month in his career (prev. 11, 3x-last April 2016). EARLY AND OFTEN The Rays have scored a major-league-most 25 runs in the 1st, nearly twice as many as any other AL club (Seattle, 13) Milwaukee ranks 2nd with 22 runs Rays have scored multiple runs in the 1st inning seven times last night was the fourth road game this year in which the Rays scored in the 1st inning, but they are 0-4 in those games the Rays have outscored opponents in the 1st (25-10), 2nd (13-9) and 3rd (14-12) innings for a total of they are even in the 4th (7-7) and 5th (9-9) innings they have been outscored in the 6th (13-8), 7th (14-8), 8th (9-8), 9th (7-3) and extra (2-1) innings outscored by a total of from the 6th inning on. THAT S OFFENSIVE The Rays lead the AL with 96 runs scored, although they ve played an AL-most 21 games (tied with Angels) this is their most runs after 21 games since 2012 (98), and marks a 35 pct. increase over a year ago at this time (71 runs through 21 games) over the past three years ( ) the Rays ranked last in the AL in runs (1,928), finishing last in 2014 and 14th in both 2015 and The Rays lead the AL with 183 hits, 6 triples, 303 total bases and 64 extra-base hits they rank among AL leaders with a.256 avg. (4th),.328 OBP (5th),.424 SLG (3rd),.752 OPS (3rd), 25 HR (4th) and a 85.7 SB pct. (12-for-14; 2nd). SHANE PETERSON Roped a 2-run double in the 4th inning last night to give the Rays a 3-1 lead and extend his hitting streak to 6 games, tying his career high also had 6-game hitting streaks for Milwaukee in 2015 (Aug 2-7, July 6-21) the double was upheld as fair after an Orioles challenge. TIM BECKHAM Ranks 3rd among AL shortstops with a.988 fielding pct., trailing NYY Ronald Torreyes (1.000) and KC Alcides Escobar (.989) has only one error in 82 chances has a 5-game hitting streak, and over his last 9 games (since April 16) is batting.353 (12-for-34) to raise his season avg. by more than 100 points (.156 to.258). ERASMO STEPS IN RH Erasmo Ramirez makes his second spot start for RH Jake Odorizzi, on the DL with a left hamstring strain in the Rays era (since 2008), Tampa Bay has used only 28 different starting pitchers, fewest in the majors the Giants are next with 32; the Indians are the next fewest in the AL with 39 the Orioles have used 53 the Dodgers and Padres have used the most (65 each).

WINS & LOSSES Has won both of his decisions this season to snap a career-long-tying 7-game losing streak last season, his 17 decisions in relief were the most by a major league reliever since 2010, when WAS Tyler Clippard went 11-8 his 11 losses as a reliever were the most in the majors since LAA Scot Shields (11) in 2005 and set a club record, passing Brad Boxberger (10) in 2015 his 7 wins included 6 in relief, one shy of the club record for a reliever (last J.P.

From April 19 through the end of the 2015 season, he was one of the best pitchers in the AL ranked among league leaders over that span in ERA (3.02, 4th), opp avg. (.223, 4th), opp OBP (.274, 3rd), opp SLG (.344, 4th) and WHIP (1.04, 2nd). STREAK CONTINUES Makes today s start at 26 years, 358 days, which will mark the 420th consecutive Rays game started by a pitcher under the age of 30, the longest current streak in the majors 35-yearold LH Erik Bedard (July 3, 2014 at DET) was the last 30-plus pitcher to start a game for the Rays. PROUD NICARAGUAN Was the first Nicaraguan-born Rays player and is one of 14 in history to appear in a major league game of the 868 players (includes active, disabled list, suspended and restricted players) to make an Opening Day roster this season, four were born in Nicaragua, most in major league history the others were TB Kevin Gadea (60-day DL), KC Cheslor Cuthbert and LAA J.C. Ramirez previous record was three Nicaraguan-born players (2014, 2012). X-RAY REPORT Began playing baseball in Rivas, Nicaragua when he was 4 his grandmother, Esperanza, encouraged him to play with the older boys and taught him how to pitch was discovered as a 14-year-old by a former coach who was delivering much-needed equipment to underprivileged youth players in Nicaragua that man helped Ramirez get accepted to a baseball academy in El Salvador far away from his family where he was scouted and signed by the Mariners. He shows up to try to help the team win every single day in whatever capacity that may be. Whether it s as a starter, seventh, eighth, ninth inning extra innings he s ready. That s very rare. It takes a special person to do that. If they d have asked any of the other starters to do that, I don t think we would have embraced it quite as much. And we may not have been as successful.
