Lots of praise for Glasnow's work throughout #Rays clubhouse. Of note was use of changeup today, which he hadn't really shown much this season

#Rays Tyler Glasnow’s nine strikeouts vs. #RedSox is his second most this season. Glasnow had 11 Ks at Chicago on April 10.

His ERA is 1.75. Glasnow improves to 5-0. Chris Sale is 0-5.
Trevor Bauer was my preseason pick for AL Cy Young. Starting to wonder if Tyler Glasnow might have been a better choice.
