Lee also hit a two-run homer as San Francisco
bounced back from an ugly 9-2 loss to Chicago on Monday night.
Chapman, who committed two of the Giants’ four errors in the
series opener, had three hits and scored twice.
The Cubs trailed 5-3 before rallying in the ninth, handing
Justin Verlander another no-decision after he was in position
for his first win with the Giants.
Justin Turner bounced a pinch-hit RBI single into right field
against Ryan Walker. After Ian Happ struck out swinging for the
second out, Kyle Tucker greeted Erik Miller (2-0) with a hard
grounder back up the middle, bringing home the tying run.
Verlander pitched five innings of three-run ball. The three-time
AL Cy Young Award winner signed a $15 million, one-year contract
with the Giants in January.
The 42-year-old Verlander is winless in eight consecutive starts
for the first time in his 20 major league seasons.
Miguel Amaya hit a two-run homer for NL Central-leading Chicago,
which had won four of five. Dansby Swanson had two hits and
scored twice while extending his hitting streak to eight games.
Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong robbed Mike Yastrzemski
of extra bases with a leaping grab at the wall in the third.
Crow-Armstrong also took a hit away from Lee with a sliding
catch in the fifth.
Key moment
The Cubs put runners on second and third with one out in the
10th, but Crow-Armstrong struck out swinging and Swanson lined
to third.
Key stat
The Giants improved to 21-5 against right-handed starting
pitchers this season, the best such record in the majors.
Up next
Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (4-0, 3.05 ERA) and Cubs
right-hander Ben Brown (3-2, 4.88 ERA) pitch Wednesday in the
series finale.
