On Thursday Ryan McFarland was dialed in and struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. He played a big game the last time he faced Chapin, so the team probably should've seen him coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six innings. On the season, McFarland has an ERA of 2.48 over 48 innings pitched.
McFarland's strong effort led Hanks over Chapin and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Hanks is 3-0 against Chapin going back to March of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
