Ray to start on Saturday against the O's

On Saturday, Robert Ray will make his big-league debut against the Baltimore Orioles at Rogers Centre.

The right-handed Ray takes lefty David Purcey's spot in the rotation. Purcey (0-2, 7.01 ERA) was sent down to Triple-A on Friday.

Ray, a 25-year-old, was a combined 13-9 with a 3.61 ERA and 132 K’s in 167 innings pitching in Class A and Double-A ball in 2008.

Not really impressive stats. So, he’s actually going to help the Blue Jays at the big-league level?

The Jays' modest one-game winning streak will likely be snapped on Saturday.
