He likely would\u2019ve been able to polish off his first quality start of the season here as well if not for two errors by Rays\u2019 defenders in the sixth inning that brought home both of Jax\u2019s runs, forced him to work harder than he had to, and made that his final inning of work. Regardless, he still threw a season-high 88 pitches and has turned himself into a solid starting pitcher with a 2.40 ERA, 43 strikeouts, and just 13 walks over 45 innings since moving into the rotation. He\u2019s scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Royals and Astros with both starts coming on the road.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-4\">\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '206053216266379',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.nbcsports.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jax was excellent here.
