Rays' Kevin Jepsen: Playing better with Tampa

Jepsen has allowed eight hits and three runs over 9.1 innings since joining the Rays on July 14.

Analysis:

Considering his awful 6.16 ERA with the Twins earlier this year, Jepsen may have needed a change of scenery. Batters had a .978 OPS against him in Minnesota compared to .704 with the Rays. However, it's a small sample and he's still not striking people out, as Jepsen's 6.7 K/9 is almost two full ticks lower than his career average before this season (8.5).
