Robbie Ray pitches 6 effective innings as the Giants beat the Cubs 3-1

CHICAGO (AP) — Robbie Ray pitched six sparkling innings, Wilmer Flores had three hits and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Wednesday.

Ray (5-0) allowed one run and three hits in his second straight win. Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers each got three outs before Ryan Walker handled the ninth for his seventh save.

San Francisco took two of three at Chicago to improve to 24-14. The Giants scored nine runs in the 11th inning in a wild 14-5 victory over the Cubs on Tuesday night.

Nico Hoerner had two of Chicago's four hits. Ben Brown (3-3) struck out nine in five innings, but was charged with three runs and six hits.

The Cubs scored their only run in the fourth. Pete Crow-Armstrong was credited with an RBI double when it looked as if left fielder Heliot Ramos lost his two-out flyball in the afternoon sun.

Mike Yastrzemski walked and scored on Flores’ two-out single in the first, and the Giants added two more runs in the fourth. LaMonte Wade Jr. doubled in Matt Chapman, and Christian Koss singled in Flores.

Carson Kelly hit a leadoff single in the ninth for the Cubs. But Justin Turner bounced into a double play before Hoerner grounded out.

Three Giants logged multihit games. Wade and Willy Adames each went 2 for 4.

The Giants continue their six-game trip on Friday night at Minnesota. Jameson Taillon (2-1, 3.86 ERA) starts for the Cubs when they begin a weekend series at the New York Mets on Friday night.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is questioning whether a proposal from his own lieutenant governor to ban federal immigration enforcement actions around courthouses, schools, day cares and other locations can, or should, be done.

Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, a Democrat, is running for governor this year after Evers decided against seeking a third term. She is one of several Democrats vying to succeed Evers in the open race. Evers and Rodriguez were elected together in 2022 after Rodriguez won the lieutenant governor primary.

Rodriguez proposed Monday that civil immigration enforcement actions in Wisconsin should be banned around courthouses, hospitals and health clinics, licensed child care centers and day cares, schools and institutions of higher learning, domestic violence shelters and places of worship. Rodriguez said there would be exceptions if there is a judicial warrant or an immediate threat to public safety.

“I’m not sure we have the ability to do that,” Evers said when asked about her proposal at a Monday news briefing.

Evers also expressed concern about how such a move would be received by President Donald Trump's administration.

“We can take a look at that, but I think banning things absolutely will ramp up the actions of our folks in Washington, D.C.,” Evers told reporters. “They don’t tend to approach those things appropriately.”

Rodriguez said Tuesday that she respected Evers' position but did not back down. Wisconsin should join other states looking to rein in federal officers, she said.

“For too long Democrats have dialed back actions in hopes President Trump doesn’t escalate, and that’s not what happens,” she said in a statement. “He always escalates.”

Rodriguez put out her plan after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Renee Good in neighboring Minnesota last week. That killing sparked protests across the country, including in Wisconsin, in opposition to Trump’s aggressive deportation operations.

Minnesota, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, sued the Trump administration Monday to try to stop an immigration enforcement surge. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation.

Rodriguez's proposal to limit ICE actions in Wisconsin is largely based on proposals being offered in other Democratic-controlled states including California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey. Even if introduced in Wisconsin, they would go nowhere in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Rodriguez is also calling for all ICE agents operating in Wisconsin to be unmasked, clearly identified and wearing a body camera.

“No one should be afraid to drop off their kids at school, seek medical care, go to court, or attend worship because enforcement actions are happening without clear rules or accountability,” Rodriguez said.

When asked if ICE agents were welcome in Wisconsin, Evers said, “I think we can handle ourselves, frankly. I don't see the need for the federal government to be coming into our state and making decisions that we can make in the state.”
