 The Blue Jays have scored 15 runs in nine games against the Rays this season; that 1.67 runs per game average is lowest mark by any team against a division opponent in MLB this season.

 They Rays have held opponents to a .229 batting average this season, the second-lowest mark in MLB (Astros, .216). This would be the franchise's seventh season ranking in the top 3 in MLB in BAA since 2008, more than any other franchise in MLB over that span.

 Since Ji-Man Choi was traded to the Rays on June 10, the team has hit .272 and scored 4.90 runs per game with him in the starting lineup, and .248 with 4.02 runs per game without him starting. He has at least one hit in all but one start since August 9, and is slashing .351/.439/.614 in that span.

 In his first 13 games as a Blue Jay, Billy McKinney has totaled 16 hits, eight extra-base hits, and 10 RBI. He is one of seven rookies since 2000 to reach these totals through as many games with a team, and the first since Trevor Story did so for Colorado in 2016.

 During his eight-game hitting streak, Tommy Pham has five multi-hit games and 15 total hits. His career .900 OPS in September is his highest in any month (minimum 100 PA). He tripled yesterday for his fifth career triple in September; he has no more than two triples in any other month.

 Since 2016, Marcus Stroman's 62.4 GB% is the highest in baseball by nearly 10 percent, with the second-place Carlos Martinez inducing ground balls only 53.8 percent of the time (minimum 500 innings). Stroman was the last Jays starting pitcher to earn a win against the Rays, and it happened over a year ago, on 8/16/17.

TORONTO -- The Tampa Bay Rays have had their way with the Toronto Blue Jays this season.
They defeated the Blue Jays 7-1 Monday in the opener of a three-game series at the Rogers Centre and lead the season series 8-2.

Rays aim to keep mastery over Blue Jays

TORONTO (AP)  Tampa Bay's Ryne Stanek became the first rookie pitcher in 75 years to start consecutive games - throwing one inning for the second straight day.
''It's pretty much the same as two relief appearances in a row,'' Stanek said. ''I didn't really notice anything different.''
