Noteworthiness

— The Rays have spent 11 straight days alone in first place — their longest stay atop the AL East since a 52-day run, from April 22 to June 12, 2010.

— Newest addition to the roster Marc Krauss gets the start at first tonight, hitting eighth and wearing number 36. Kraus said he got in around 2:00 a.m. last night (with the time change), “Its the life of a ball player.” What can be expected out of Krauss? A left handed power bat, and a true first baseman.
