Tonight's Rattler Starting Pitcher (8/29)

RH JUAN RAMIREZ: Signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Nicaragua by Seattle in July 2005.

NUMBER NINE: Ramirez struck out nine batters in three consecutive starts this season. The streak started against West Michigan on April 28; continued with a start at Great Lakes on May 4; and reached three against Cedar Rapids. He struck out nine batters in a game again on August 24 against Quad Cities.

LAST START: Ramirez beat the Quad Cities River Bandits in Grand Chute on August 24. He allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings and did not walk a batter as he struck out nine. The River Bandits broke a 1-1 tie with a run off Ramirez in the top of the seventh. But, the Rattler offense rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a 5-2 lead. The Wisconsin bullpen held on for the victory.

ON THE ROAD: Ramirez is 2-6 with an ERA of 4.67 in 12 games (10 starts) on the road this season.

AT HOME: Ramirez is 4-3 with an ERA of 3.99 in 12 games (11 starts) at home this season.

VS. QUAD CITIES: Ramirez has made two starts against Quad Cities this season. Aside from the start on 8/24, he also made the start against the Bandits on June 5 on Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. In that game, Ramirez allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits over six innings, walked one, and struck out six. Ramirez picked up a no decision, but the Rattlers would win 4-3 in 10 innings.
