Arizona Diamondbacks: Ray continues to put up big numbers
Lefty Robbie Ray of the Arizona Diamondbacks could emerge as the team’s stopper.
At first glance, right-hander Zack Grienke of the Arizona Diamondbacks would be regarded as the team’s stopper. That’s usually reserved for a veteran starter who is ready to give a strong effort when his team needs a lift. That’s especially true in a losing streak.
Just past the quarter-pole of this season, the effort and numbers put up by lefty Robbie Ray may force Greinke to step aside. Harnessing energy and power, Ray is quietly putting together a quality season. “Quietly” may be the optimum word, because the Diamondbacks draw little national attention.
