Rays’ Pepiot Bounces Back
A brutal outing against the Red Sox and a mediocre one against the Twins had Rays righthander Ryan Pepiot staring at a 9.72 ERA coming into his start Thursday (March 21). So Pepiot needed Thursday’s five solid innings of work. Pepiot gave up a solo home run to Kody Clemens in the second inning, but that was the only hit he allowed only two baserunners over the minimum while striking out six. Pepiot finished off three of his strikeouts with his changeup and three with his mid-90s fastball.
