Ray didn't exactly produce a revenge game against the team that dealt him to a division rival at the trade deadline, but he did enough to get the win. He's now allowed 10 runs across 7.1 innings over his two starts in September. For the season, the southpaw is at a 3.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 132:81 K:BB across 156.1 innings through 29 games (28 starts). He'll look to build off his 100th career win when he takes the mound in Colorado next week.

Ray breezed through the first inning, retiring the side in order on three groundouts while tossing just eight pitches. The rest of the lefty's start went in the complete opposite direction, however, as he gave up four runs on three hits and three walks in the second frame and another run on two hits and a walk in the third before being pulled. Overall, Ray threw just 36 of 68 pitches for strikes and notched only four whiffs. Control has long been an issue for the veteran hurler, and things haven't changed since he's joined the Padres, as Ray has now walked 20 batters over 28.2 innings across six starts with his new club. He had mostly gotten away with the free passes coming into Saturday, yielding two or fewer runs in four straight outings, but there's always going to be a risk of an implosion with a pitcher who puts runners on via walks as frequently as Ray does.
