 Tampa Bay won two of three at Detroit from June 4-6 and has batted .319 and averaged 6.7 runs during a six-game home winning streak vs. the Tigers. The streak is the Rays' longest active run against any AL opponent.

 MLB-worst Detroit wrapped up a 4-7 home stretch against teams with losing records with a 7-2 loss to Seattle on Thursday. The Tigers are last in the majors with a .241 winning percentage (13-41) vs. teams above .500 and will play their next 17 games against opponents over the break-even mark.

 The Rays settled for a 5-1 road trip after Wednesday's 7-2 loss to San Diego. Tampa Bay leads the majors with an .800 winning percentage (12-3) since July 28 and the bullpen is 8-0 with an MLB-best 2.56 ERA in that span.

 Daniel Norris, Friday's projected starter, is 1-9 with a 5.46 ERA in his last 16 starts and 3-14 in 29 starts since 2018. Norris and teammate Spencer Turnbull are the only traditional starting pitchers in the majors with three or fewer wins and at least 25 starts since 2018 (Miami's Ryne Stanek has two wins in 56 starts).

 Miguel Cabrera has hit safely in 16 of 17 games, going 22-for-68 (.324). His 574th double on Wednesday tied him with Bobby Abreu for the most by a Venezuela-born player. Cabrera, Abreu and Charlie Gehringer are tied for 23rd all-time in doubles. Cabrera is batting .390 (23-for-59) in his last 16 games at Tampa Bay.

 Eric Sogard has reached base in a career-best 26 straight games, the longest active streak in the majors. His 13-game on-base streak since being acquired from Toronto is the second-longest to begin a Rays career behind Rocco Baldelli (24) in 2003.
