Joe Boyle threw six no-hit innings while getting a win for Triple-A Durham on Saturday.
Boyle struck out seven while issuing two walks. The right-hander now has a glistening ERA of 1.29 in Triple-A, and he’s likely to continue to dominate Triple-A hitters as long as he’s in the International League. He’s been inconsistent at best at the major-league level, but depending on the matchup, he could be worthy of a look if/when Tampa Bay gives him another shot.
Rays optioned RHP Joe Boyle from Triple-A Durham.
Five hitless innings Sunday against the Braves wasn’t enough to get their Rays to change their minds about keeping Boyle around after his spot start, but at least it did firmly establish him as being next in line when anything opens up.
Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin reports that Joe Boyle is expected to be sent back to Triple-A Durham this week.
This was the plan all along with the Rays needing a spot starter on Sunday only; however, Boyle looked great in his start against the Braves, so there was some question about whether or not he would remain in the Tampa Bay rotation. However, it seems like the Rays will stick with their original plan and bring up a reliever to help the bullpen. Boyle was solid on Sunday but couldn’t pitch more than four innings in either of his first two Triple-A starts due to a high pitch count, so he does need to continue to work on the consistency of his command.
Joe Boyle allowed two runs (none earned) in five innings and got the win in the Rays’ 8-3 victory over the Braves on Sunday.
