Ray (3-2) didn't get out of the first inning
against the Atlanta Braves in his previous start, getting just
two outs in what turned into a 13-2 defeat. But the 11-year
major league veteran bounced back with vengeance, limiting the
White Sox to one run and three hits over a season-high 6 2/3
innings, striking out nine without issuing a walk.
The success allowed Ray to record a win against a 27th different
opponent, leaving just the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals
and Arizona Diamondbacks unchecked on his all-time list.
The only run Ray gave up allowed the White Sox to forge a
temporary 1-1 tie in the third. Lenyn Sosa delivered the run
with a two-out double that scored Dominic Fletcher, who had
singled.
The Giants opened the scoring on a run-scoring forceout by
Thairo Estrada in the second, then took the lead for good in the
last of the third when Chicago starter Davis Martin (0-2) walked
Ramos with the bases loaded.
San Francisco tacked on single runs in the fifth on an RBI
single by Ramos and in the seventh on a ground-rule double by
Mike Yastrzemski, scoring Ramos, who had walked.
Martin was pulled one out into the fifth, charged with three
runs (two earned) on four hits. He walked two and struck out
five.
Giants relievers Sean Hjelle, Tyler Rogers and Ryan Walker
combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings to retain the late lead.
Walker was credited with his second save of the year after
striking out the side in the ninth.
Ramos reached base three times via a single and two walks for
the Giants, who won despite going just 2-for-11 with runners in
scoring position. They outhit the visitors 7-3 and also
benefited from seven walks.
The doubles by Yastrzemski and Sosa were the only extra-base
hits in the game.
