Ryen Pepiot struck out eight while working six innings of two-run baseball in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Thursday.
Pepiot gave up just three hits with two walks, so there wasn’t much traffic against the 27-year-old. Unfortunately, two of those hits left the park, and the Rays offense was only able to provide a single run of support while he was in the game. Still, it’s a quality outing for the right-hander, and after posting a 2.25 ERA over 36 innings in May, he’s off to a nice start to June. The Red Sox are next for Pepiot.
