 Since May 19th, when Tampa Bay implemented the concept of a reliever opening each game as the starter, the Rays' pitching staff has posted a 3.34 ERA with a .223 opponent batting average. The average is the lowest in MLB, and the ERA trails only the Dodgers (3.22) for the lowest in MLB since that date.

 The Indians are averaging 5.61 runs at home compared to 4.57 on the road. That difference (1.04) in runs per game at home and away is the second largest in MLB, behind the Rangers (1.49, home better).

 This is the first time the two teams are meeting this season. The Indians lead the matchup 93-58 (.616), their best winning percentage versus any single opponent in team history.

 In his first seven games with the Rays, Tommy Pham went 2-for-22 (.091) with a .422 OPS. Since then, he is 11-for-23 (.478) with a 1.303 OPS in five games.

 Since July 1st, Michael Brantley has struck out just 14 times in 222 plate appearances. He is averaging a strikeout every 12.37 plate appearances, the second-highest ratio among qualified players (Andrelton Simmons, 16.13).

 Cleveland is the only team this season with four starters having an ERA below 3.50 (minimum 25 starts). If that were to finish the same, it would be the second time the team had four starters post such an ERA since earned runs became official in 1913, along with 1954.

CLEVELAND -- Josh Donaldson is the newest member of the Cleveland Indians and has joined his team but it does not mean the third baseman is ready to play.
Donaldson is not expected to play Sunday afternoon as Cleveland hosts the Tampa Bay Rays in the final contest of a three-game series.

CLEVELAND (AP)  Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash is excited about how his team is playing. The only thing missing for the Rays: a clear path to the playoffs.
Rookie Brandon Lowe homered and drove in three runs, and the Rays hung on in the ninth inning to defeat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 on Sunday, taking two of three from the AL Central leaders.
