Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Yonny Chirinos bounced back from a slow start to dominate Monday versus the Blue Jays. He came into the game after the opener to start the second inning and immediately got into trouble. The Rays even got up another reliever. Chirinos got out of the inning with only one run allowed and would shut down Toronto for the next six innings. Having gone seven innings in a 7-1 victory, he was the easy choice to be awarded the win. Chirinos is still not much of an option outside of very deep formats.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Yonny Chirinos gave the team a much needed prolonged outing Tuesday versus New York. He went 6 2/3 innings allowing three runs. This allowed the Rays to give their heavily used bullpen some rest as only two pitchers were used by them Tuesday. He took the loss as the Rays were shut out but still did some good for his team. His 3.78 ERA is respectable for a starter but he simply does not pitch enough innings to be valuable as a starter, and his ratios are not so solid for a reliever, especially absent saves.

Chirinos was promoted from Triple-A Durham on Monday.
