In a bullpen game with five starters on the
injured list, the Giants got shutout relief from Sean Hjelle,
Taylor Rogers, Ryan Walker, Tyler Rogers (1-2) and Camilo Doval
after opener Randy Rodriguez allowed Chicago's only run in the
third inning.
By then, the Giants had taken a 2-0 lead.
Jorge Soler led off the second against Cubs starter Kyle
Hendricks (1-5) with a single. After Chapman walked, Michael
Conforto opened the scoring with a single to right, which also
sent Chapman to third. One out later, David Villar's sacrifice
fly made it 2-0.
The Cubs responded with their only scoring in the third when
Nico Hoerner drew a two-out walk, stole second and scampered
home on a single by Michael Busch.
Rodriguez was pulled at that point, charged with one run on one
hit in 2 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out five.
Hjelle served up a single to the first batter he faced, Cody
Bellinger, but then stranded the potential tying run at third by
striking out Seiya Suzuki.
The Cubs got only one other baserunner into scoring position the
rest of the way, that coming after Hoerner singled with two outs
in the fifth. Taylor Rogers came on and walked Busch but then
struck out Bellinger to end the threat.
Seeking a second win over the Giants in a week, Hendricks was
pulled after seven innings, having allowed two runs and five
hits. He walked one and struck out four.
The Giants then jumped on Cubs reliever Colten Brewer for their
three-run eighth. Soler made it 3-1 with a sacrifice fly before
Chapman came through with the biggest hit of the night.
Brett Wisely and Luis Matos had two hits each for the Giants,
who have opened a homestand with two straight wins after
dropping five in a row to complete a road trip last week.
All four Cubs hits in the game were singles.
