Ray did not factor into the decision after allowing three runs on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts across 5.2 innings Thursday against the Giants.
Ray allowed just two runs through five innings but was unable to battle through the sixth and was removed with a one-run deficit before the offense flipped the scoreline. He allowed just two extra-base hits but struggled a bit with his command and threw just 57 percent of his pitches for strikes. Ray's six punchouts were unsurprising after he whiffed 218 batters in 2016. The key will be for him to take strides in limiting baserunners this season. He will next take the mound Tuesday on the road against this same Giants club.
