Robbie Ray battled the rain and his own command issues on Tuesday night, resulting in an early exit after throwing 107 pitches in 4 2⁄3 innings of 11-strikeout work. Fernando Salas vultured the win after allowing one run in his one inning of work. On the offensive side of things, Alex Avila and Jarrod Dyson went back-to-back in the third inning, while Daniel Descalso added a two-run shot of his own in the eighth, leading to a series-opening win in Philadelphia.
Robbie Ray might have only gone 14 outs into the game, but he struck out 11 and showed another up-tick in velocity while attacking hitters more directly.
