Ramirez allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings Monday in a win over the Rays. Ramirez gave up homers to Corey Dickerson and Logan Morrison in the first inning, but none of the other four hits he allowed hurt him. He’s cut back on the walks this month and is succeeding without racking up many strikeouts (13 in 25 2/3 innings). He’s probably going to give up too many homers to keep winning with that kind of strikeout rate, but at least he has a strong defense behind him. (Rotoworld)
Worley yielded three runs on six hits over four innings in Sunday’s loss to the Dodgers. Worley surrendered two of the three runs on his line in the first inning, when he coughed up a two-run double to Adrian Gonzalez. Joc Pederson would polish off the scoring on his line with a solo home run in the fourth inning. For the afternoon as a whole, the 29-year-old right-hander struck out just two while walking one. This was Worley’s first start with the Marlins since they signed him to a minor league contract on April 2.
