Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Pitches well in return

Fairbanks struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner across a scoreless inning Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Fairbanks was briefly sidelined due to a cut on his throwing hand, but he returned to pitch the ninth inning of a tied game Tuesday. He showed no ill effects from the injury and has turned in two scoreless outings since returning from a nerve issue in his arm.
