Ray allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out a season-high 10 hitters over six innings Tuesday against Atlanta. He did not factor into the decision.
Ray got off to a bumpy start after allowing two singles and a walk, which led to a first-inning run for Atlanta. He later would also give up two solo home runs before his day was over. The 29-year-old has had a bit of an issue so far with the long ball, as he's given up eight so far over his first six outings; however, he's relatively reliable otherwise while logging at least five innings and surrendering three or fewer runs in each of his starts. He'll look to notch a win in his next scheduled start, slated for this weekend at home against the Phillies.
