Ê 84 XBH, which would tie Aubrey Huff’s club record (84 in 2003). Ê 105 RBI, which would be the 2nd most of his career (113 in 2009). ROCK THE CATWALK—Last night OF/DH Corey Dickerson struck the D-ring catwalk with his 2nd-inning home run…estimated by MLB StatCast at 448 ft., it was the longest home run by a Ray this season…it was the first ball to strike the D-ring since NYY Greg Bird’s homer on Sep 16, 2015 (off Andrew Bellatti, and the first by a Rays player since Carlos Peña on July 29, 2010 vs. DET (off Rick Porcello). Ê Dickerson’s homer was already the eighth ball to strike a catwalk in fair territory at Tropicana Field this season…in the past seven seasons (2009-15), only once has this mark been surpassed: 9 in 2015…the record is 13, done both in 2000 and 2001. A WORTHY ALL-STAR—Last night RH Alex Colome converted his 19th save in 19 chances, extending his club record for consecutive saves to begin the season…it ties for the 2nd-longest streak by a Ray at any point in the season and is the longest since Fernando Rodney set the club record with 22 straight from May 27–Aug 13, 2012…Colome hasn’t allowed a run in those 19 chances (19.2-IP, 10-H, 0-R, 7-BB, 27-SO, .152 opp avg.), and his last 18 apps overall since May 4 have been scoreless…he’s pitched in 22 of the Rays 29 wins, and they are 22-5 in games in which he appears. Ê Colome leads the majors with 7 saves in June…overall, his 19 saves are one shy of AL leader BAL Zach Britton…he leads the majors with 4 saves of 4 outs or more. Ê Is on pace to become the 11th different pitcher in 12 seasons to lead the Rays in saves…is the only AL pitcher to have every one of his team’s saves, and one of two in the majors (LAD Kenley Jansen). GOOD SPORTS FOR $11,000—This morning, the Tampa Bay Rays, RH Chris Archer and national nonprofit Good Sports continued their third year of partnership by visiting with members of the Northwest Little League in Tampa as they provide the program with brand new baseball equipment for their season…the donation, which includes bats, catcher’s equipment, batting hel- mets, and training equipment for their baseball and softball teams, is valued at $11,000…over the course of the partnership, $99,535 has been raised to impact 5,916 kids…for more information, visit goodsports.org/tampabayrays.

Ê LAST START—On June 5 at MIN, yielded a 1st-inning RBI single to Joe Mauer, back-to-back homers to Byung-ho Park and Robbie Grossman in the 3rd and an RBI triple to Byron Buxton later that inning…was the fourth time in his career he allowed multi-HR in an in-ning and first time with the Rays (last May 26, 2014 at OAK, 3rd inn.)…got ND behind a combined 4 HR from Logan Morrison and Evan Longoria…his line: 5 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 7 SO, 2 HR, 102 pit, 62 str.

Ê Will be pitching on 9 days’ rest…is his longest stretch between apps (excluding season debuts or return from injury) since his 2 starts surrounding the All-Star break in 2014.

Ê RECENT STRUGGLES—Has gone 1-4 with a 7.18 ERA (36.1-IP, 29-ER) over his last 7 starts (since the beginning of May), including 5 starts of 5 IP or fewer…in comparison, he finished April ranked among AL leaders in IP (34.2, 3rd), SO (41, 3rd), H/9 IP (4.67, 1st), WHIP (0.69, 2nd), opp avg. (.151, 1st)…among AL pitchers with at least 30 IP over that span, he ranks in the bottom five in ERA, WHIP (1.76), opp avg. (331), opp OBP (.381), opp SLG (.571) and pitches per inn. (18.6).

Ê His 7.18 ERA (31.1-IP, 25-ER) in May was his highest since his rookie season, an 8.56 ERA in June 2012.

Ê THE LONG BALL—Has yielded 14 HR, T-5th in the AL, including 7 HR in his last 4 starts spanning 21.1 IP and 9 HR in his last 6 starts spanning 31.1 IP…since 2015, has yielded 25 HR in 137.2 IP for a 1.63 HR/9 IP ratio, 6th-highest in the AL (min. 100 IP)…has allowed 3 HR to left-handed hitters (all vs. Toronto); didn’t allow one to a lefty in 66.2 IP last season…six times this season he’s yielded multiple homers, most such apps/starts in the majors…so far this year, 20.3 percent of his hits have been homers…no qualifying Rays starter has ever finished a season with a rate that high.

Ê SNAP THE SKID—Hasn’t won at home since Sep 30, 2015 vs. MIA…has made 5 starts at home since then, going 0-4 with a 4.70 ERA (30.2-IP, 16-ER) this season…is trying to avoid becoming the first Rays starter to begin a season 0-5 at home since 2007, when Edwin Jackson and Andy Sonnanstine both did it…the club record for con-secutive home losses to start a season is 7 (Rolando Arrojo, 1999).

Ê No other pitcher in the majors has as high a home ERA despite as low an opp avg. (.196) at home…no pitcher has ever finished a season this way.

Ê SNAP THE SKID (PART II)—Has lost 3 consecutive decisions for the second time in his career (also May 8-31, 2014)…has yielded 3, 5 and 8 runs over those 3 losses…has allowed 5 runs or more in 4 of his 12 starts this year, compared to twice in his first 19 starts with the Rays.

Ê Has 7 losses, T-3rd in the AL…the only two AL pitchers with more are HOU Dallas Keuchel (9) and TB Chris Archer (8).

Ê STRIKEOUTS—Only two pitchers in the majors have as high an ERA (4.94) and as many strikeouts (77): HOU Dallas Keuchel (81) and NYY Michael Pineda (79)…still ranks among AL leaders in SO/9 IP (9.76, 6th) and SO/BB (4.05, 11th)…according to STATS LLC, oppo-nents miss on 28.0 percent of their swings, 7th in the AL.

Ê Has gotten strikeouts with the fastball (40), curveball (22), cutter (12) and changeup (3), according to PITCHf/x.

Ê Had 41 SO in April, tying David Price (2014) for the club record for the month—until Chris Archer (43) passed them both…has combined for 36 SO in his 7 starts since then.

Ê MIRROR IMAGE—In 12 starts this season, his strikeout total is equal to his season-ending total last year…also has the same amount of swinging strikeouts (68) and called (9).

Ê WATCH YOUR BACK—Has 11 pickoffs since the start of 2014, 2nd in the AL to LAA Hector Santiago (13)…hasn’t recorded a pickoff since Sep 18, 2015 vs. BAL, going 14 starts without one since.
