Cubs starter Justin Steele allowed two runs and
four hits in 6 2/3 innings, but the 2023 National League
All-Star is still looking for his first win of the season after
10 starts. He struck out eight and walked two on Tuesday.
Tyson Miller (2-0) got the final out of the seventh and retired
the side in order in the eighth. Keegan Thompson struck out the
side in the ninth for his first save of the season.
Curt Casali had a two-run double for the Giants.
Giants starter Logan Webb allowed two runs and six hits in seven
innings. He struck out five and walked one on 101 pitches.
Tyler Rogers (0-2) replaced Webb to start the eighth, and Busch
greeted him with a double high off the wall in right-center
field. Bellinger then singled to left to score Busch for a 3-2
lead.
After Seiya Suzuki singled, Happ found another hole in the
infield for a run-scoring base hit to right to make it 4-2.
The Giants nearly avoided further damage, but Luke Jackson
entered with the bases loaded and gave up a pinch-hit RBI single
to Christopher Morel, putting Chicago up 5-2.
Webb retired the first four batters he faced before Happ singled
with one out in the second. Swanson then took Webb deep, sending
a sinker into the stands in right-center field for a 2-0 lead.
Shortly after the death of Giants legend Willie Mays was
announced, San Francisco rallied for two runs in the fifth
inning.
Steele walked two of the first three batters of the frame before
Casali, hitting in the No. 9 spot, doubled to center to drive in
both runners and tie things at 2-all.
