Their 4-1 win last night sets up the rubber match today it was their 10th game yielding 3 hits or fewer, tying Cleveland for the AL lead this season the Rays improved to (.603) when scoring first compared to (.261) when the opponent scores first. SQUAD GOALS Several notable achievements are within reach today: The Rays need 3 extra-base hits to break the club record of 532 (2009). The Rays, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, need a home run from their shortstop and second baseman to become the first team in major league history to get 25 HR from all four infield positions. Evan Longoria needs 2 RBI to reach 100 RBI for a third time (113 in 2009, 104 in 2010). Evan Longoria needs to appear in today s game for a fourth consecutive season of 160 games played (see Everyday Evan note). Corey Dickerson needs a home run to break his career high of 24 (currently tied with 2014). Brad Miller needs a double to join Longoria as the first teammates in Rays history with 30 HR and 30 2B. Logan Forsythe needs a home run from the leadoff spot to tie Gerald Williams club record of 21 (2000). LEADERS EAT LAST 3B Evan Longoria is 14-for-24 (.583) with 7 HR, 11 RBI and 9 runs scored in the Rays final games of the regular season (7 games played) according to the Elias Sports Bureau, his 7 HR in regularseason finales are most all-time, topping STL Stan Musial (6) Longo hit 3 HR in the 2012 finale (vs. BAL) and 2 in 2011 (vs. NYY), including the game-winner to clinch a postseason berth for the Rays. LAST HURRAH The Rays are 11-7 all-time in regular-season finales (6-3 at home, 5-4 on road) and have won 5 of their last 6 this includes the 5-2 victory in the Game 163 tiebreaker here in Arlington in 2013 last season, the Rays won their final game 12-3 at home over Toronto. CATCH THEM NAPPING? This is the ninth time in 19 years the Rays have finished the regular season against a team that was playoff-bound, and today they have a chance to win their seventh consecutive series of this type on the other hand, the only two times the Rays lost this series, their opponent went on to win the World Series (1998 and 1999 Yankees). Rays Finishing Regular Season vs. Playoff-Bound Teams Year, Opponent Rays Series W-L How Opponent Fared 2015 vs. TOR 2-1 Advanced to ALCS 2012 vs. BAL 2-1 Won WC Game, Lost ALDS 2011 vs. NYY 3-0 Lost ALDS 2009 vs. NYY 2-1 Won World Series 2003 vs. BOS 2-1 Advanced to ALCS 2001 vs. NYY 3-1 Advanced to World Series 1999 vs. NYY 1-2 Won World Series 1998 at NYY 0-4 Won World Series LAST STOP: TEXAS The Rays lead the season series, 3-2 last night snapped a streak of 7 games in which the Rangers had hit multiple home runs vs. the Rays, the longest streak of any opponent in Rays history the Rangers have still homered in 11 straight games vs. the Rays overall the Rays won 2 of 3 games, Aug at Tropicana Field the Rays are since becoming the Rays in 2008 after going as the Devil Rays. Last night RH Jake Odorizzi improved to 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA (31.2- IP, 5-ER) in 5 career starts vs. the Rangers the best ERA all-time of any pitcher with at least 5 career starts vs. Texas, edging out CWS Bruce Howard (1.43) in the 1960s. EVAN S FIRST NINE SEASONS AMONG THE BEST Among primary third basemen over their first nine seasons in the majors, Longoria ranks: 3rd with 301 doubles (Wade Boggs 358, David Wright 322) 5th with 241 home runs (Eddie Mathews 338, Mike Schmidt 283, Troy Glaus 257, Chipper Jones 253) 2nd with 559 extra-base hits (Eddie Mathews 587) 7th with 806 RBI (Eddie Mathews 901, Chipper Jones 837, Scott Rolen 831, David Wright 818, Ron Santo 814, Ken Boyer 807) Since his rookie season of 2008, Longoria leads the majors in doubles (290), home runs (227), extra-base hits (534) and RBI (760) as a third baseman Adrian Beltre ranks 2nd in all four categories over that span, with 283 2B, 204 HR, 498 XBH and 722 RBI. EVERYDAY EVAN Assuming 3B Evan Longoria plays today, it will mark his fourth straight season of at least 160 games played only three active players have ever done this: Prince Fielder (five, with Brewers/ Tigers), Adrian Gonzalez (four, with Padres) and Ichiro Suzuki (five, with Mariners) only two players in baseball history have played 160-plus games in four consecutive seasons while playing a majority of their games at third base each year: Hall of Famers CHC Ron Santo ( ) and BAL Brooks Robinson ( ). A CAREER YEAR FOR LONGO 3B Evan Longoria has established career highs with 172 hits, 80 extra-base hits, 36 home runs and 328 total bases his XBH, HR and TB marks are all club records for a right-handed hitter, trailing Aubrey Huff (84 XBH in 2003), Carlos Peña (46 HR in 2007, 39 HR in 2009) and Huff (353 TB in 2003), respectively. TATER TRACKER The Rays have hit a club-record 216 HR they rank 6th in the majors in home runs (see chart), but 25th with 666 runs scored the 2016 Rays and Mets (218-HR, 669-R) will be the first two teams in major league history to hit at least 200 home runs but score fewer than 700 runs no team in major league history can match the Rays combination of home runs and losses (94). Ê Ê This year s Rays, Rangers and Mariners are three of the 23 teams in ML history to both hit and allow 200 HR Rays have yielded 209.

NO FUN WITH ONE RUN The Rays are (.325) in one-run games, worst in the majors, while the Rangers are best in the majors at (.766) they are in one-run games at home, and 3-15 on the road this is also currently the worst one-run record of any team since the 2008 Braves (11-30,.268) and will be the worst mark in franchise history (prev ,.378 in 2002).
