The San Francisco Giants faced the Chicago Cubs in a series that started off challenging but turned favorable after a 3-1 victory on Tuesday. This marked the Giants' 8th series win of the season, showcasing their resilience, particularly in high-stakes games. Robbie Ray shone as he delivered his third consecutive quality start, only allowing one run over six innings and enhancing the team's winning record to 14-8 against competitive opponents. His strategic pitch mix emphasized secondary pitches, paving the way for his current success.
After the 3-1 win, the Giants are now 8-0 in games Ray starts.
His 42% four-seam usage was his lowest in-game percentage since facing the Yankees.
Perhaps this 'surrender to contact' has been the secret to Ray's 2025 success so far.
Robbie Ray noted in his postgame interview that the game plan facing a team like the Cubs was to "mix everything up".
