Ramos (0-1) took the loss as he allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings in his first MLB start of 2016 Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos was forced into the starting rotation by a groin injury for Rangers ace Cole Hamels. He managed to scatter nine hits, and while he allowed two home runs, they were both of the solo variety. Ramos was nasty at times, as he induced 11 swinging strikes in 96 pitches. But Ramos's fastball topped out at just 92.5 MPH, and Yankees hitters punished him when he made mistakes. Ramos posted a 2.75 ERA in 52.1 relief innings last season for the Angels. He has rarely started, as Monday marked just his 11th MLB start in 252 appearances, so we'll have to wait and see how long he sticks in this role for the Rangers.
