Jason Vosler and Austin Wynns drove in two runs apiece while
Dixon Machado, acquired earlier in the day from the Cubs, got on
base twice via a single and a hit batsman and scored once for
the Giants, who finished the month of July just 11-17 despite
their 3-1 series win over Chicago.
With trade rumors swirling and rival scouts following every
pitch, Rodon (9-6) dominated the Cubs, allowing just a pair of
singles over his seven innings. He didn't walk anyone en route
to his sixth double-digit strikeout effort of the season.
Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki had the Cubs' only hits against Rodon.
Chicago never got a runner past first base against the
left-hander.
John Brebbia allowed third and fourth Cubs hits to Patrick
Wisdom and P.J. Higgins before wrapping up a scoreless eighth,
and Camilo Doval worked a 1-2-3 ninth with two strikeouts to
complete the Giants' fifth shutout of the season.
San Francisco did all its scoring in the fourth inning when,
with two outs, LaMonte Wade Jr. walked, Mike Yastrzemski singled
and Machado was hit by a pitch, loading the bases.
Vosler then connected on his two-run single to left-center,
after which Wynns, batting ninth, blasted a two-RBI double to
center, accounting for the four runs.
Cubs starter Adrian Sampson (0-2) was pulled at inning's end,
charged with all four runs on five hits. He walked one and
struck out six.
Machado's hit came in the sixth inning. He was starting at
shortstop in place of Thairo Estrada, who entered concussion
protocol after getting hit by a pitch Saturday. Estrada in turn
had been subbing for Brandon Crawford, who is out with a knee
injury.
Machado had been playing for the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate in
Iowa. He hadn't appeared in a major league game since playing
for the Detroit Tigers in 2018.
Vosler finished with two hits and Tommy La Stella collected a
single and a double for the Giants, who had opened the second
half with seven straight losses before the Cubs came to town.
The Cubs finished July with an 11-14 record, their fourth
consecutive losing month.
