PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks have been tough to beat when Robbie Ray is on the mound, even more so when the hitters are clicking at the same time.
Ray struck out a season-high 12 in 6 2-3 shutout innings, Paul Goldschmidt had a grand slam and the Diamondbacks broke away late to rout the Milwaukee Brewers 11-1 Sunday.
Ray is 5-0 and has given up just one earned run in his last 37 innings, with 48 strikeouts over his last five starts.
“Felt great,” Ray said. “All my pitches were working … and the bats came alive there the end.
