Ê Seven of his 10 HR this season have been solo…had 1 HR in his 42 at-bats through April, but since then has hit 9 HR in 141 at-bats (15.7 AB/HR).

#20 STEVEN SOUZA JR., OF Thu: 0-4 COL Series: 2-9, 2-RBI, 3-R Stand: 3-12, 2-RBI, BB, R vs. LH: .265 (18-68), 3-HR2016: .246/.301/.409, 10-HR, 31-RBI, 4-SB Current Hitting Streak: 0-for-6 RISP: .262 (16-61) vs. RH: .240 (47-196), 7-HR

Ê Batting .212/.241/.269 (11-for-52) with 6 RBI in 14 games (all starts) since returning from the DL…does have 4 multi-hit games over that stretch. Ê Has gone 80 at-bats since his last homer on June 4 at MIN (off Ervin Santana), the longest homerless drought of his career…his last 4 HR and 6 of

his last 7 HR have come on the road…hasn’t homered at Tropicana Field since May 4 vs. LAD (off Alex Wood), with 67 at-bats in between. Ê Ranks 6th in the AL with 99 SO and has struck out in 34.6 percent of his PA, tied for the highest rate in the majors (min. 200 PA) per FanGraphs. Ê On Wed at COL had a pair of run-scoring hits (both singles), his first multi-RBI game since June 4 at MIN (3) and sixth multi-RBI game this year. Ê Has played in 71 games, all starts (65-RF, 4-DH, 2-CF)…his season highlights incl. his first career leadoff homer and a pair of multi-HR games.

RAYS BULLPEN NOTES#35 MATT ANDRIESE, RH Last App: 7/19 at COL (S, 3.0-IP, 3-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 3-SO, 1-HR) Saves-Opps: 1-1 vs. LH: .202 (19-94), 1-HR2016: 6-2-1, 2.78 ERA, 16 G, 8 GS Long Relief App: 3.0, 3x-last 7/19 at COL IR-RS: 4-1 vs. RH: .248 (38-153), 2-HR

Ê Recorded his third career save on Tue at COL, all of them having been of the 3 IP (or more) variety—most in club history (last May 14, 2015 vs. NYY)…he has the last 3 such saves recorded by the Rays, though this was their first on the road since Jake Odorizzi on Sep 24, 2013 at NYY.

Ê Only run allowed was a 9th-inning solo homer to Trevor Story, his third in 68.0 IP this year…min. 50 IP, his 0.40 HR/9 IP ratio ranks 4th in the AL. Ê Both his losses have come over his 8 relief apps but has a 2.41 ERA (18.2-IP, 5-ER) in relief this year, compared to a 4.75 ERA in relief last year. Ê Has recorded at least 5 outs in his last 6 relief apps…his last 3 relief apps have been 3.0, 2.2 and 3.0 IP and yielded a combined one run in them. Ê Became the fifth Ray to ever start a season at 6-0 or better and remains one of six major league pitchers to do that this season.

#31 XAVIER CEDEÑO, LH Last App: 7/21 at OAK (0.1-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-4 vs. LH: .204 (11-54)2016: 3-2-0, 3.94 ERA, 37 G Long Relief App: 1.1, 5x-last 7/2 vs. DET IR-RS: 17-6 vs. RH: .271 (16-59), 1-HR

Ê Retired his only batter faced yesterday at OAK, a Josh Reddick strikeout…lefties are 5-for-their-last-12 vs. him, compared to .143 before that. Ê Ranks 2nd on the team with 37 apps…the Rays have been tied or ahead in 30 of his 37 apps…has only yielded multiple runs in two of 37 apps. Ê Has yielded runs in 4 of his last 9 apps, pitching to an 8.53 ERA (6.1-IP, 6-ER) over that stretch…had 6 straight scoreless apps before that. Ê Has thrown 10 pitches or fewer in 16 of his 37 apps…has also pitched less than one inning in each of his last 4 apps (since July 3 vs. DET). Ê Has a 6.67 SO/BB ratio in his last 23 apps since May 21 (20-SO, 3-BB)…in comparison, had a 1.67 SO/BB ratio through his first 14 apps.

#37 ALEX COLOME, RH Last App: 7/21 at OAK (S, 1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 21-21 vs. LH: .250 (12-48), 1-HR2016: 1-2-21, 1.59 ERA, 33 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 3x-last 5/24 at MIA IR-RS: 13-5 vs. RH: .176 (13-74), 1-HR

Ê Inherited 2-on, 0-out in the 9th yesterday at OAK for his 21st save, 5th in the AL…stranded both runners and got 3 outs on 7 pitches (6 strikes). Ê Is one save shy of tying the franchise record for most consecutive conversions, held by Fernando Rodney from May 27–Aug 13, 2012 (22). Ê Has a 0.00 ERA (22.2-IP, 12-H, 0-ER, 8-BB, 33-SO) in save situations (22 apps, 21 saves, no blown saves) compared to a 4.76 ERA otherwise. Ê Only two pitchers in the majors have recorded as many saves without a blown save: NYM Jeurys Familia (33) and BAL Zach Britton (30). Ê Did not pitch in the All-Star Game following his selection by Royals Manager Ned Yost…he became the first product of a Rays international academy

to make it, the first selection of his career…also became the seventh reliever in club history to make the All-Star Team.

#49 DYLAN FLORO, RH Last App: 7/20 at COL (1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .300 (3-10)2016: 0-0-0, 3.68 ERA, 5 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 2x-last 7/18 at COL IR-RS: 3-2 vs. RH: .316 (6-19)

Ê Had a scoreless 7th on Wed at COL, pitching around a leadoff single and 1-out wild pitch…all 5 of his apps this year have been at least 1 IP. Ê Has allowed three runs in 7.1 IP, two of them on Mon at COL after an overturned replay review…made his major league debut on July 7 vs. LAA. Ê Went 1-2-7 with a 2.81 ERA (48-IP, 15-ER) over his 30 apps with the Bulls and was named to the International League All-Star Team. Ê Was drafted by the Rays twice, in the 20th round out of high school in 2009 (did not sign) and the 13th round out of Cal State Fullerton in 2012. Ê Went 36-30 with a 3.30 ERA (526.1-IP, 193-ER) in 124 games (73 starts) in the minors…converted to full-time relief work this season.

#40 KEVIN JEPSEN, RH Last App: 7/21 at OAK (0.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 7-11 vs. LH: .365 (19-52), 4-HR2016: 2-5-7, 5.88 ERA, 37 G Long Relief App: 1.2, 6/10 vs. BOS IR-RS: 8-3 vs. RH: .291 (25-86), 3-HR

Ê Retired both batters faced yesterday at OAK, starting the 8th inning…has a 3.00 ERA (3-IP, 2-H, 1-ER, 0-BB, 2-SO) in 4 apps with the Rays. Ê Is the fourth pitcher to have two separate stints with the Rays, returning after pitching for another organization in between…he joins Dan Wheeler,

Trever Miller and Grant Balfour…he signed with the Rays on July 15, two days after being released by the Twins (DFA’ed by Minnesota on July 3). Ê Went 2-5 with a 6.16 ERA (30.2-IP, 21-ER) and 7 saves in his 33 apps for the Twins this season…started this season in the Twins closing role. Ê Was with the Rays for the start of the 2015 season and went 2-5 with a 2.81 ERA (41.2-IP, 13-ER) in 46 apps for them before being traded to Min-

nesota in exchange for RH Chih-Wei Hu and RH Alexis Tapia…Hu pitched for the World Team in the Futures Game this season.

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 7/21 at OAK (0.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-4 vs. LH: .286 (22-77), 5-HR2016: 7-7-0, 3.97 ERA, 38 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 2.2, 5/18 at TOR IR-RS: 24-5 vs. RH: .272 (37-136), 3-HR

Ê Did not record an out yesterday at OAK, going single-HBP on 4 pitches to start the 9th…neither runner came around to score after he departed. Ê Has made 5 straight scoreless apps since the start of July…in comparison, had a 7.77 ERA (24.1-IP, 21-ER) in 19 apps from May 11–June 30. Ê His 51.0 relief innings rank 2nd in the AL to BAL Brad Brach (52.1)…has made a major-league-most 23 relief apps of 4 outs or more, and his 13

relief apps of at least 2 IP rank T-1st in the majors with SD Carlos Villanueva and SEA Mike Montgomery (13)—the pitcher he was once traded for. Ê His 6 wins rank T-2nd among major league relievers (won his only start), one shy of the club record for a reliever (7x-last J.P. Howell, 2009). Ê Has yielded 8 HR, T-3rd among AL relievers…his 7 losses lead ML relievers and were the club record for a reliever before the All-Star break.

#45 ENNY ROMERO, LH Last App: 7/20 at COL (1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-1 vs. LH: .271 (13-48), 1-HR2016: 1-0-0, 5.58 ERA, 34 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 4x-last 6/17 vs. SF IR-RS: 20-6 vs. RH: .246 (17-69), 4-HR

Ê His last 4 apps spanning 2.2 IP have been scoreless since yielding 3-run homers in consecutive apps on July 1 vs. DET and July 5 vs. LAA. Ê Yielded a pair of baserunners but no runs on Wed vs. COL in the 9th…pitched around a leadoff single and 1-out walk to finish off an 11-3 win. Ê Has pitched to an 1.86 ERA (19.1-IP, 4-ER) in 18 apps on the road compared to a 11.91 ERA (11.1-IP, 15-ER) in 16 apps at Tropicana Field. Ê Has a 9.00 ERA (14-IP, 23-H, 14-ER, 11-BB, 18-SO) over his last 17 apps (since May 24), compared to a 2.70 ERA (16.2-IP, 5-ER) prior to that. Ê His 18 BB rank T-6th among AL relievers…included in his 18 BB are 10 BB vs. lefty batters and three bases-loaded walks (last June 6 at ARI).
