Jakob Junis - Hit hard early onJunis allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings during Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Rays. He didn't factor into the decision.ImpactMost of Junis' troubles came in the opening frame, as the Rays piled on four runs behind a two-run homer, two doubles and two walks. He settled down for a bit afterward, allowing just one hit and no runs over the next three innings, but Junis faced more struggles in the fifth, as the Rays opened the frame with three consecutive singles and tacked on another run. Junis has a 4.20 ERA and a 15:6 K:BB in three starts since entering the rotation April 7 and will look to rebound in a road matchup against the Pirates on Tuesday.
