Ray (2-2) allowed just two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 batters over six innings during Thursday's loss to Washington.
Holding the Nationals to just two runs over six frames is an impressive performance on its own, so Ray's 10 punchouts only improve the showing. The 25-year-old lefty improved to a 3.47 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 3.23 FIP and 12.1 K/9 for the campaign, and he's quickly affirming himself as a solid fantasy option -- especially with the starting pitcher pool ravaged by injuries. Ray lines up to face Detroit in the first of his projected two starts next week.
