Ray (4-1) earned the win Friday by limiting the Giants to two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings.
Ray started off shaky, allowing three hits -- including a home run -- and a walk in the first inning, followed by a leadoff double in the second. Fortunately, he retired the next 13 batters in dominant fashion. To top it off, the 27-year-old knocked in a pair of runs with a single off Drew Pomeranz in what turned out to be an absolute blowout. Ray has been struggling with walks this season, so it was nice to see him limit the Giants to two free passes while fanning nine. The left-hander will carry a 3.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 76:31 K:BB for a showdown at Coors Field on Wednesday.
