Brett Wisely singled to put runners on first
and second with no outs in the bottom of the 10th. But Porter
Hodge nailed down his first career save by striking out Austin
Slater and retiring Heliot Ramos and Wilmer Flores on flyouts.
Hector Neris (7-2), who pitched a 1-2-3 ninth with two
strikeouts in a 3-3 tie, was credited with the win.
Both teams produced a three-run inning earlier in the game.
After losing the first three games of the series in San
Francisco, the Cubs scored three runs in the third inning.
Nico Hoerner opened the scoring with a two-run home run, his
third of the season. Suzuki plated Bellinger later in the frame
with a two-out triple against Giants starter Jordan Hicks.
The Cubs' Shota Imanaga took a one-hit shutout into the sixth
before Slater's leadoff single sparked the Giants' game-tying
surge.
Jorge Soler drove in the first run with a two-out, ground-rule
double. After Imanaga's wild pitch allowed Matt Chapman to
score, Luis Matos delivered an infield single that scored Soler
to draw the Giants even at 3-3.
Imanaga allowed three runs and five hits with two walks and
three strikeouts in six innings. He was coming off his worst
outing of the season, when he allowed 10 runs in three-plus
innings against the New York Mets on Friday.
Hicks gave up three runs on five hits and two walks in five
innings. He struck out seven.
Suzuki finished with a double and triple for the Cubs, who
outhit the Giants 10-6. Hoerner collected three hits, while
Bellinger scored twice.
Soler's double was the only extra-base hit for the Giants, who
still captured the season series over the Cubs, 4-3.
