Well you should. Because he threw a shutout today.
Las Vegas 4 Tacoma 0
Robert Ray continues to make a case for promotion if there's ever any room. Ray had his best start of the season today throwing a complete game shutout. Four hits and two walks were all Ray allowed to go with four strikeouts. He now sports a 3.44 ERA though his peripherals remain a bit iffy with 17:24 BB:K in 36 innings. That said, only six of those walks have come in his last three starts. In any event, add him to the list.
Jeremy Reed provided all the offense Ray needed with two homers and three RBI. Brian Dopirak pitched in with two doubles and an RBI while Brett Wallace was 1-for-5 with 3 Ks.
New Hampshire 3 Binghamton 5
A decent start for Luis Perez today who went six and allowed three runs (2 earned) on his hits with a walk and four strikeouts. Tim Collins allowed the other two runs in two innings. The good news is he struck out five.
Not a ton to write home about on the offensive side. Adam Loewen was 3-for-3 and is quietly hitting .253/.376/.422 on the year. Jonathan Diaz was 1-for-4 with two RBI while Darin Mastroianni tripled, walked, stole a base, and scored.
Dunedin- Did Not Play
In fact, the whole Florida State League had the day off. That's weird for a Sunday, no? Is this a Mother's Day thing? I don't get it.
Lansing 5 Fort Worth 7
The Lugnuts led this one 4-0 in the second thanks to a three-run double from Ryan Schimpf. Mark Sobolewski provided the rest with three hits and an RBI. He's hitting .344, by the way.
Ryan Shopshire started and was pretty awful, giving up six runs on eight hits in 4.2 innings. Nestor Molina went the rest of the way allowing a run in 3.1 innings.

3rd Star: Brian Dopirak- 3-for-5, 2 2B, RBI
