Robbie Ray Leads Giants to 3-1 Victory Over Cubs

Robbie Ray continued his strong return from Tommy John surgery by pitching six innings and allowing just one run in the San Francisco Giants' 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs, improving his record to 5-0 for the season. The Giants have now won all eight games Ray has started this year, matching franchise streaks not seen since the early 1990s and 2010. Ray's performance, including a 2.84 ERA and a recent stretch of a 1.80 ERA over his last four outings, has solidified his role as a key starter, especially after the offseason loss of Blake Snell. Supported by effective relief from Camilo Doval, Tyler Rogers, and Ryan Walker, Ray's outings have consistently given San Francisco a chance to win. The decision to trade for Ray, initially viewed with skepticism due to his injury status, has paid off significantly for the Giants as they continue to chase franchise records. The team took two of three games from the Cubs, further boosting their strong start to the season.
