Ê The Rays have won 9 of their last 12 games and 15 of their last 21 (since June 2).

JUST ENOUGH—The Rays have outscored their opponents by only 17 runs this season (273-256), a smaller run differential than the three teams directly behind them in the standings (Yankees +18, Orioles +43, Blue Jays +80)…the Rays have won 24 games by a one- or two-run margin, most in the majors (Braves 2nd with 23)…the Rays are the only team in baseball maintaining a winning record despite scoring fewer than 4.0 runs per game (3.74)…the last two teams to win the division despite scoring fewer than 4.0 R/G won the World Series: the 2014 Giants (3.82 R/G) and the 1988 Dodgers (3.88)…the American League hasn’t seen a team score fewer than 4.0 R/G and win the division since 1981 (Yankees, Royals). TIGHTLY BUNCHED—The top four teams in the AL East are separated by only 3.0 games—the closest the division’s top four teams have been on this date since divisional play began in 1969…it’s the closest any division’s top four teams have been on this date since the NL Central in 2011 (four teams within 3.0 games)…the Blue Jays, Rays and Orioles have three of the ma- jors’ four best records in the month of June (see chart).

Ê Last night was Archer’s fourth consecutive start vs. Toronto of 7-plus IP, 3 hits or fewer and 1 ER or fewer…since data is available (1914), only four other pitchers have done that 4 straight times against any opponent: LAD Clayton Kershaw vs. SD (2013-14), TEX Charlie Hough vs. OAK (1987), MIN Jim Perry vs. TEX (1972) and LAD Sandy Koufax vs. NYM (1962-63). Ê The six pitchers listed in the two notes above have won a combined 15 Cy Young Awards. OBSTACLE COURSE—The Rays stand alone in first place at 41-32 despite: Ê using a major-league-most 44 players (tied with ATL), 26 pitchers (tied with NYY), 21 relief pitchers and 16 rookies…according to Stats LLC: Ê 44 players used is a club record before the All-Star break (43 in 2003) Ê 26 pitchers used is a club record (25 in 2006)…the Rays are one of only 10 teams in major league history to use 26 pitch- ers before the All-Star break, and only three teams have used more pitchers before the break: the 2013 Blue Jays (29), 2014 Angels (28) and 2014 Rangers (28)…the Rays have a chance to become the first team since divisional play began in 1969 to lead the majors in pitchers used and win their division.

ROOKIE RELIANT—Today’s start by Nathan Karns is the 33rd by a Rays rookie pitcher this year, most in the majors…the Rays have used a major- league-most 16 rookies, tying the club record (2001, 2011)…seven rookies are on the active roster currently. Ê Over the past 26 games (starting May 26), Steven Souza Jr. and Joey Butler have either scored or driven in 47 of the Rays 100 runs (47 pct.)…Rays rookies have accounted for 33 pct. of the home runs hit by AL rookies (29 of 88), led by Souza (14) and Butler (6). IN FINE COMPANY—Last night OF Steven Souza Jr. stole 10th base of the season, giving him double-digit homers (14) and SB…prior to Souza, the last three rookies to have double-digit homers and steals on this date were KC Carlos Beltran (10-HR, 12-SB) in 1999, BOS Nomar Garciaparra (10-HR, 12-SB) in 1997 and SEA Ken Griffey Jr. (11-HR, 10-SB) in 1989…Beltran and Nomar were named AL Rookie of the Year. Ê Souza is already one of only four in Rays history to record 10 HR and 10 SB as a rookie, joining Desmond Jennings (10-HR, 20-SB) in 2011, Delmon Young (13-HR, 10-SB) in 2007 and Rocco Baldelli (11-HR, 27-SB) in 2003 and HE CAN HIT—Since his May 3 call-up, OF Joey Butler ranks 4th overall in the AL in batting (.338) and ranks among AL rookie leaders in avg.

RUNNIN’ RAYS—The Rays are 6-for-6 in stolen base attempts in the first 2 games of this series…their 55 SB this year rank 4th in the majors and 2nd in the AL, one behind Houston…last year they had only 27 SB through 73 games. ’PEN ON HISTORIC PACE—The Rays have a save in all but 8 of their 41 wins…they’re on pace for 73 saves this season, which would break the 1990 White Sox’s major league record of 68…the club record is 52 (2008)… their 33 saves are 3rd most in major league history through 73 games, after the 1997 Orioles (35) and 2001 Mariners (34) who went on to 98 and 116 games, respectively…the Rays bullpen leads the majors with 245 IP…their 233 relief apps trail only Joe Maddon’s Cubs (238) in the majors and put them on pace for a club-record 517 (510 in 2009). Ê Rookie RH Steve Geltz has retired 28 consecutive batters, a club record, passing RH Kyle Farnsworth (26 in 2011) on Monday…21 of Geltz’s 28 batters have come since he was kissed by Paula Ab- dul on June 11, after catching her ceremonial first pitch…the major league record is 46, by SF Yusmeiro Petit in 2014…Geltz ranks 6th among major league relievers with a .128 opp avg.

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER

TODAY’S STARTER—RH NATHAN KARNS (4-3, 3.53)

Ê LAST START—On Fri at CLE, allowed consecutive hits (Jason Kipnis double, Francisco Lindor single) to lead off the game, and threw 2 WP in the inning—the first of which scored Kipnis…did not allow a run after that, and left with a 2-1 lead in the 6th…faced 3 batters in the 6th: single, single, strikeout and was removed…Xavier Cedeño stranded both inherited runners with a pair of strikeouts…his line: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 1 R/ER, 1 BB, 4 SO, 88 pitches, 57 strikes.

Ê THE TURNAROUND—In his first 4 starts, was 1-1 with a 5.32 ERA (23.2-IP, 16-H, 14-ER, 14-BB, 20-SO, 5-HR)…over his last 10 starts beginning April 27, is 3-2 with a 2.77 ERA (55.1-IP, 51-H, 17-ER, 17-BB, 52-SO, 4-HR)…has made 10 total starts of 2 runs or fewer, T-3rd in the AL (see chart)…is 4-1 with a 1.91 ERA (56.2-IP, 12-ER) and 58 SO in those 10 games.

Ê A CLOSER LOOK—Is yielding 2.77 BB/9 IP over his last 10 starts, compared to 5.32 BB/9 IP before that…has allowed 2 BB or fewer in 9 of his last 10 starts…has also only yielded a homer in 3 of his last 10 starts (4 in 55.1 IP), compared to in 3 of his first 4 starts (5 in 23.2 IP).

Ê CAN’T TOUCH THIS—Has allowed 2 hits or less in 4 starts this year, tied for most in the majors (see chart)…his .226 opp avg. would be the lowest by a major league rookie since MIA Jose Fernandez in 2013 (.182) and lowest by an AL rookie since TEX Yu Darvish in 2012 (.220).

Ê 1st INNING—Has given up a 1st-inning run in 3 of his last 4 starts…out of his 33 runs (31 earned) allowed this season, 10 runs (9 earned) have come in the 1st inning for a 5.79 ERA in the frame…has a 3.05 ERA (65-IP, 22-ER) after the 1st inning.

Ê RISP-Y BUSINESS—Has held opponents to a .197/.257/.288 (13-for-66) line against him with RISP, 6th lowest avg. in the AL…in his last 2 starts, the White Sox and Indians have combined to go 2-for-15 (.133) against him with RISP…the major league avg. with RISP is .259.

Ê KARNS RANKS—Leads all major league rookies with a .226 opp avg. …ranks among major league rookie leaders in starts (14, T-1st), innings (79.0, 3rd) and SO (72, 2nd)—trailing SF Chris Heston (73).

Ê Has issued 31 BB, T-7th in the AL…ranks T-2nd with 8 WP.

Ê UNCLE CHARLIE—26.4 percent of his pitches have been curveballs, 3rd in the majors and 2nd in the AL (see chart)…no qualifying Rays starter has ever thrown his curveball more frequently…highest was James Shields in 2011 (21.0 pct.).

Ê ROOKIE REPORT—Karns is one of a major-league-most 16 rookies used by the Rays this season, tying the club record (2001, 2011)…this will be the 33rd time the Rays have used a rookie starting pitcher, most in the majors…four of the eight starting pitchers used by the Rays this season are rookies (Colome, Karns, Geltz, Andriese).

Ê DECEIVING RECORD—Has only factored in the decision in half of his 14 starts (4-3)…however, four times he has left a game in line for the win, but received no decision after the Rays bullpen blew the save:

Date Left BSv Inn. Details 4/17 vs. NYY up, 4-2 Frieri 6th Alex Rodriguez HR 5/3 vs. BAL up, 2-0 Jepsen 7th Jimmy Paredes 2B 5/29 vs. BAL up, 1-0 Jepsen 7th Chris Davis HR 6/3 at LAA up, 5-4 Boxberger 9th Erick Aybar SF

Ê GOT HIS NUMBER—Went 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA (10.2-IP, 8-ER, 3-HR) in two starts this season against the Angels…against all other oppo-nents, is 4-2 with a 3.03 ERA (68.1-IP, 23-ER).

Ê RESPECT YOUR ELDERS—The 27-year-old made his first Opening Day roster and is the oldest member of the Rays current starting rotation…RH Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) is seven weeks his senior.

Ê HIGHLY REGARDED—Entered 2015 rated by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect in the Rays system and No. 2 pitching prospect behind Alex Colome…the publication also recognized him as Best Curveball in the organization.

Ê Ejected on May 10 vs. TEX in the 5th inning by HP umpire Mike Estabrook for arguing balls and strikes…was his second ejection as a manager.

Ê 37-year-old manager is the youngest skipper in the majors since ARI A.J. Hinch (34) in 2009 and youngest active manager/head coach in the four major sports, ahead of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens (38).

Ê Is the fifth manager in Rays history…is the sixth Tampa-born manager
