Control has long been Robbie Ray‘s biggest obstacle, but lately he’s put his wild ways behind him, and he’s really pitching well for the Blue Jays so far this season.

After throwing 7.0 innings of five hit, one run baseball against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, Ray has now dropped his ERA to 3.42 and his WHIP to 1.08 across eight starts and 47.
