Robert Ray takes loss

The former Panther pitched 4.1 innings, giving up four earned runs, six hits and one walk while striking out four in Toronto's 5-1 loss to Boston, according to The Globe and Mail:

Ray, who told Blue Jays broadcaster Jerry Howarth before the game that he was always called Bobby, and indicated he preferred that to Robert - he was 1-1, 3.60 earned-run average as Robert - scattered three hits over eight innings in beating the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. But that was as Robert Ray, and these Red Sox are sox of a different colour.

In Ray's defence, however, there was little he could do about Bay's two-run home run, which highlighted a three-run first inning. That homer was all on right fielder Rios, who completely missed Bay's liner as it bounced off the top of the wall in right field.
