This is the second of three consecutive series against division leaders, with the Rays coming off a 3-game sweep of the Red Sox. This is the second game of a 10-day, 8-game road trip to Atlanta (0-1), Cleveland (3) and Toronto (3) the Rays went 5-4 on their last trip at TOR/NYY/BOS, which marked their first winning road trip since May at BAL/KC/LAA (7-4).

SQUAD GOALS At 70-62, here is what the Rays would need to do in their remaining 30 games to reach the following records: REQUIRED FINISH TO REACH SEASON-ENDING RECORDS Record Finish Significance Would be their best record under Manager Kevin Cash Would be their first winning record since 2013 (92-71) Would be their sixth 90-win campaign in 11 seasons as Rays RAYS vs. BRAVES The is the last of four meetings between the clubs this season the Rays are 0-3 so far (0-2 at home, 0-1 on the road) and would need a win tonight to avoid their first winless multi-series season series against any opponent since 2014 (0-4 against Marlins) the Rays are (.323) all-time against the Braves, their worst winning pct. against any opponent (Reds,.333) they are 4-8 on the road, including in series play this series marks their first in Atlanta since May 19-20, 2015 (1-1), and it marks their first time ever playing at SunTrust Park. The Rays are 6-13 in interleague play (3-7 at home, 3-6 on the road), their second losing interleague record since 2008 (7-11 in 2010) the Rays are (.555) in IL play since th-best in the majors and all-time the NL is (.532) in IL play this season, but the AL has won each of the last 14 season series. UP NEXT: INDIANS Following tomorrow s off day, the Rays begin a 3-game series at Progressive Field, and they host the Indians for 3 games on the next homestand, Sep the Rays have lost the last four season series, and they went 3-4 against them last year they are (.384) alltime, their worst mark against any AL opponent, and (.333) on the road they went 2-1 last season in Cleveland, and their 10 HR set what remains a club record for a 3-game series they hit.300/.358/.627 with 20 runs in Cleveland but scored 7 runs in the 4-game series at home. PITCHING PLANS Tonight s game will be started by Diego Castillo, the 39th time the Rays will use an opener and third time using Castillo in that role the Rays opened the season with bullpen days as needed in place of a traditional starter, and since May 19, they have used openers to start games generally facing 3-9 batters, depending on matchups. In March, the Rays announced a season-opening rotation of Chris Archer, Blake Snell, Nathan Eovaldi and Jake Faria all four pitchers spent time on the disabled list and two were traded in July the Rays have used other starters in 69 of 132 games (52.3 pct.).
