Dylan Ray earned his second win of the year, tossing 6 1/3 innings and allowing four runs while striking out six and walking one. The right-hander has been solid since his call-up to Triple-A in early May, logging a 6.92 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 26 innings in six starts.
Jorge Barrosa extended his impressive hitting streak to 20 games, going 2-for-5 with an RBI. Over the streak, he's batting .376 (35-for-93) with 10 extra-base hits and 21 RBI.
