Patrick Wisdom smacked a two-run homer for the Cubs, who saw a
six-game winning streak come to an end.
Wisdom's homer, his 18th of the season, came three batters after
Ian Happ singled to center field leading off the seventh, ending
Wood's no-hit bid.
Wood walked Christopher Morel and hit Willson Contreras to begin
the game, but then didn't allow another baserunner until Nelson
Velazquez walked with one out in the sixth.
Wood (7-8) was pulled after Wisdom's homer, charged with two
runs and two hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out
three.
Dominic Leone recorded the final out of the seventh, and John
Brebbia threw a 1-2-3 eighth. Camilo Doval notched his 13th save
by working around Happ's second hit of the game, a one-out
single, as the San Francisco closer struck out three in the
ninth.
Mercedes' big hit came with two outs in the third in a scoreless
game. The single scored Mike Yastrzemski, who had reached on an
error, and Austin Slater, who had singled off Cubs starter
Justin Steele (4-7).
Thairo Estrada followed Mercedes' hit with an infield single
that plated Wilmer Flores, who had been hit by a pitch, to make
it 3-0.
The Giants added a run in the next inning after another Cubs
error, this one on shortstop Nico Hoerner. Slater delivered
David Villar with the run with a two-out double.
Mercedes, Slater and Estrada had two hits apiece for the Giants,
who hadn't won since taking three straight against the Milwaukee
Brewers at home immediately prior to the All-Star break.
Steele lasted just 3 2/3 innings, although all four runs he
allowed were unearned. He gave up five hits and a walk while
striking out six.
The Cubs had gone 5-0 since the break. They were facing the
Giants for the first time this season.
Giants left fielder Joc Pederson exited the game an inning after
hitting the wall hard while trying to catch Wisdom's homer.
