Jacob Faria goes 6 strong in Tampa's win over Boston

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jacobe Faria allowed only one run over six innings in Thursday's 4-1 win over Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Faria didn't exactly post a gaudy stat line, striking out 2 while allowing 4 walks and 4 hits in the outing, but he got the job done and improves to 4-0 through 6 major league starts this year.

numberFire's models project Faria to post a 3.38 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 20.6% strikeout rate in 32 innings pitched over the remainder of the season.
