Down on the Farm: Giants top prospect gets bragging rights on fellow Giants prospect in Futures Game

Heliot Ramos and Shaun Anderson could one day be future teammates in San Francisco. On Sunday, they were foes in Washington, D.C. 

The two Giants prospects squared off against each other in the seventh inning of the All-Star Futures Game and Ramos came out with future bragging rights. 

On a 1-0 count, Ramos rocketed a line drive single off Anderson into center field. The liner came one batter after Anderson gave up a solo shot to Dodgers prospect Yusniel Diaz, his second home run of the day, to tie the game at 6-6.

Ramos, 18, is batting .246 with seven home runs and 19 doubles for Class A Augusta. After starting off slow, the teenager has turned it on the last two months. Between June and July, the No. 19 pick in the 2017 MLB Draft is batting .272 with three home runs and 11 doubles.

The Giants acquired Anderson last year from the Red Sox as they traded Eduardo Nunez to Boston. In 17 games, 16 starts, Anderson is 6-5 with a 3.45 ERA for the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels. He has also struck out 93 batters in 94 innings pitched. 

After the Futures Game, Anderson will join the Sacramento River Cats in Triple-A. Anderson allowed one earned run in one inning for the USA All-Stars in the Futures Game.
