Ray (3-3) allowed just two hits and three walks while striking out six batters through 7.2 scoreless innings during Saturday's win over San Diego.
Arizona scored five runs in the top of the first inning, and Ray put it in cruise control after that. This was a nice rebound showing from the lefty, too. He had surrendered nine runs through nine innings over his previous two starts and saw his ERA balloon from 3.47 to 4.57 during that stretch. Chase Field is a difficult venue in which to excel, and Ray owns a career 5.42 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 31 starts there. Avoiding him at home isn't out of the question going forward, especially against daunting opponents. He currently sports a 1.03 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 11.6 K/9 over four road outings this season, though. Ray lines up to face Milwaukee at Miller Park next week.
