Ray (2-0) picked up the win against St. Louis on Thursday, striking out nine and walking five while giving up two hits over six innings in the Diamondbacks' 3-1 victory.
There were some velocity concerns with Ray after he gave up six earned runs to the Rockies in his season debut, but he fared much better in his second go-round. Ray has struck out 17 batters in his first two starts of the year and while his eight walks on the season are a bit more than fantasy owners would like, Thursday's start can still be considered an encouraging sign for a pitcher who posted a sterling 2.89 ERA over 28 starts in 2017.
