Farquhar fired a scoreless inning in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering two hits.
The veteran reliever put together his second consecutive scoreless outing to open the season, an encouraging development for a Rays bullpen that came into 2017 on somewhat uncertain ground due to Brad Boxberger's (back) injury issues and the presence of newcomers Jumbo Diaz and Tommy Hunter. Farquhar is a key holdover from last season and part of a relief corps that has generated an 0.88 ERA and allowed just one run across 10.2 innings over the season's first four games.
