TONIGHT’S STARTER—LH DREW SMYLY (0-0, 3.38)

Ê LAST START—On Wed at NYY, received no decision in the Rays 3-2, 13-inning win…allowed 4 hits: two singles to Jacoby Ellsbury and solo homers to Chase Headley (5th) and Chris Young (6th)…reached double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his career and first time as a Ray…recorded at least 1 SO in every inning, with 2 SO in the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th…struck out 5 of 9 batters his first time through the lineup.

Ê The last pitcher to strike out 10 or more batters on a pitch count as low as Smyly’s (87) was CWS Chris Sale on May 22, 2014 vs. NYY (10-SO, 86-pit).

Ê TIMES HAVE CHANGED—Tonight’s opposing pitcher, Rick Porcello, was Smyly’s teammate for the duration of his Tigers career…in 2013, Smyly began the season in the Tigers bullpen after losing a spring battle to Porcello for the fifth starter job…the teammates were traded by the Tigers less than four months apart.

Ê 3 OR FEWER: STREAK’S ALIVE—In 9 starts since joining the Rays, is 3-1 with a 2.01 ERA (58.1-IP, 13-ER) and has held opponents to a .166 (33-for-199) batting avg. …has allowed 3 runs or fewer in all 9 of those starts, extending a club record to begin a Rays career (prev. 6, 2x-last Jeremy Hellickson in 2010-11).

Ê vs. AL EAST—Has never lost to a Rays divisional foe in 22 career apps (11 starts) vs. NYY, BOS, BAL and TOR…is 6-0 with a 1.69 ERA (90.1-IP, 17-ER)…the Rays are 6-1 in his 7 starts vs. AL East clubs since the trade…his only AL East loss came vs. the Rays on July 4, 2014 in Detroit.

Ê SEASON DEBUT—Returned from the DL on April 24 vs. TOR…fell one out shy of qualifying for the win, exiting with a 4-2 lead in an eventual 12-3 Rays victory over R.A. Dickey…retired his first 10 batters faced, and didn’t allow a baserunner until Devon Travis’ homer in the 4th…Danny Valencia added an RBI single later in that frame.

Ê REHAB WORK—Made 3 rehab starts with Class-A Charlotte (2) and Double-A Montgomery (1), totaling 8.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 9 SO…was shut down with left shoulder tendonitis before the Grapefruit League schedule began, and didn’t pitch in a spring game…was shut down in 2014 after his start Sep 6 vs. BAL having thrown a combined 153 in-nings with the Rays and Tigers—77 more innings than 2013.

Ê ARRIVING IN STYLE—The lefty was acquired hours before the July 31 trading deadline in a three-team, five-player trade with Seattle and Detroit involving David Price…none of the 15 other starting pitchers traded prior to the deadline put up better numbers with their new teams than Smyly’s winning pct. (.750) and ERA (1.70).

Ê THE RAYS WAY—Went 3-1 with a 1.70 ERA (47.2-IP, 9-ER) in 7 starts with the Rays last season and held opponents to a .155 (25-for-161) batting avg. …during that time—i.e., since the start of August through season’s end—he ranked among AL leaders (min. 40 IP) in ERA (2nd, behind LAA Matt Shoemaker’s 1.66 ERA), opp avg. (1st) and baserun-ners per 9 IP (1st).

Ê PITCHING DEEPER—Went at least 7 IP in 4 of 7 starts with the Rays last season, compared to 3 of 36 career starts with Detroit.

Ê STINGY ON LEFTIES—In 2014, ranked 3rd among major league start-ers with a .171 opp avg. (27-for-158) against left-handed hitters…only KC Danny Duffy (.137) and CWS Chris Sale (.165) were better…he has held lefties to a .191 (76-for-398) avg. in his career.

Ê WATCH YOUR BACK—In 2014, led the AL with 7 pickoffs and ranked 2nd in the majors to SF Madison Bumgarner (9).

Ê NAME DROPPER—In 2014, had 10 starts in which he allowed 4 hits or fewer, the same number as NL Cy Young winner LAD Clayton Kershaw.

Ê Since 2011, has allowed 37 HR, most among major league relievers…has allowed 14 HR since the start of 2014, 2nd among ML relievers, in 53.1 IP. Ê 29-year-old made his fifth consecutive Opening Day roster…is the first Colombian-born player in Rays history.

#54 STEVE GELTZ, RH Last App: 5/3 vs. BAL (L, 1.0-IP, 2-H, 2-R, 1-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-1 vs. LH: .167 (4-24)2015: 1-1-1, 3.95 ERA, 12 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 1.2, 4/29 at NYY IR-RS: 7-1 vs. RH: .167 (4-24), 1-HR

Ê Took the loss on Sun vs. BAL as Kevin Jepsen allowed 2 IR to score…was the first time he’s been charged multiple runs in an app this year. Ê Eleven of his last 14 outs recorded have been strikeouts…struck out all 5 BF on Wed at NYY, becoming the 2nd pitcher to Rays history to face at

least 5 batters and strike out all of them…the other was Joaquin Benoit on May 17, 2010 vs. CLE (5-BF, 5-SO). Ê Pitched a scoreless 9th on April 22 vs. BOS for his first career save…it was the Rays 15th game and his 8th app…to that point in the season he had

made his first career start (April 10 at MIA) and recorded his first career win (April 14 at TOR) and first career save (April 22 vs. BOS). Ê Is 1 of 4 pitchers to start a game and record a save this season, along with TB Matt Andriese, OAK Jesse Chavez and HOU Sam Deduno. Ê Made his first career start on April 10 at MIA after 256 career relief apps between the minors and majors.

#47 BRANDON GOMES, RH Last App: 5/3 vs. BAL (0.1-IP, 2-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .263 (5-19), 1-HR2015: 1-1-0, 2.70 ERA, 8 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 3x-last 4/29 at NYY IR-RS: 10-1 vs. RH: .158 (3-19)

Ê Started the 6th inning on Sun vs. BAL, allowing two singles to 3 BF…replaced by Steve Geltz who allowed an inherited runner to score. Ê Has made 8 apps since being selected on April 19, six of them scoreless…ranks T-3rd in the AL with 8 apps since then. Ê Got the win on Wed at NYY, throwing 29 pitches over a season-high-tying 2 IP (11th and 12th innings)…took the loss on April 27 at NYY. Ê Has only allowed 1 of 10 inherited runners to score…that was April 27 at NYY when he inherited the bases loaded and walked his first batter faced. Ê Was 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA (5.1-IP, 2-ER) and 7 SO in 4 apps for the Bulls…it’s his fifth straight season (2011-15) split between Durham and the Rays. Ê In his career, has held righties to .196/.274/.313 (52-for-265), while lefties have hit .292/.365/.483 (52-for-178).

#40 KEVIN JEPSEN, RH Last App: 5/3 vs. BAL (BS, 0.0-IP, 3-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-2 vs. LH: .158 (3-19)2015: 0-1-1, 1.74 ERA, 11 G Long Relief App: 1.1, 4/29 at NYY IR-RS: 5-3 vs. RH: .158 (3-19)

Ê Charged a blown save on Sun vs. BAL, going double, single, single to his 3 BF…the 3 hits were his most since Aug 15, 2014 at TEX (with LAA) and as many as his prev. 10 apps to start the season combined…also allowed 2 inherited runners to score (runs charged to Steve Geltz).

Ê Has pitched the 8th inning in 10 of his 11 apps…nine of his 11 apps have been scoreless…only save was April 14 at TOR, the 6th of his career. Ê Wed at NYY was his longest app (1.1 IP) since Aug 27, 2014 vs. MIA…took the loss on April 17 vs. NYY, allowing his first run as a Ray (RBI single

to Alex Rodriguez)…inherited a no-out, bases-loaded jam on April 16 at TOR and only allowed one run to score. Ê His last major league win was June 27, 2013 at DET, having made 109 apps since then…only three pitchers in AL history made more apps than he

did last season (74) and not earned a win.

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 5/4 at BOS (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .182 (4-22)2015: 0-1-0, 10.54 ERA, 7 G, 2 GS Long Relief App: 2.0, 4/10 at MIA IR-RS: 2-0 vs. RH: .417 (15-36), 1-HR

Ê Yesterday at BOS, pitched a perfect 9th in a non-save situation, the 1st time he was on the mound to finish a win since April 25, 2012 at DET (with SEA). Ê Has retired his last 15 BF…has a 1.08 ERA (8.1-IP, 4-H, 1-ER) over his last 5 apps (1 start)…had a 25.31 ERA (4-IP, 15-ER) in his first 2 apps (1 start). Ê Since allowing 6 hits and 7 runs in 2 IP of relief on April 10 at MIA in his Rays debut, his ERA has gone down with each app: from 31.50 to 25.31,

21.32, 13.94, 12.71, 11.37 and 10.54…his 7 runs allowed were the most by a Rays reliever since Gary Glover on July 10, 2008 at CLE. Ê Acquired from Seattle on March 31 in exchange for LH Mike Montgomery.
