While Anderson might've come up empty on Friday, Ivan Ramirez wasn't going down without a fight. Ramirez tossed two innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off two hits. The effort marked the fewest earned runs he has had since back in April of 2025.
Even though Ramirez couldn't lead Anderson over Central Valley, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Cubs have some work to do to even out the 2-7 series between these two since March of 2023, but a win here would be a good start.
