Webb (4-4) allowed seven hits in eight innings without a walk,
matched his season high of seven strikeouts and pitched out of
jams with runners in scoring position in three of the first five
innings. Webb has pitched at least seven innings and allowed one
run or fewer in each of his past three starts.
Kilian retired all three batters he faced in the ninth.
The Giants offense did just enough to avoid being swept by the
Cubs in San Francisco for the first time since 2013.
Lee singled in the fifth, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt
then scored on Drew Gilbert’s RBI double. Chapman followed with
his seventh home run of the season.
San Francisco added a run in the seventh on Bryce Eldridge’s RBI
single. The Giants rookie Eldridge has reached base in 20
consecutive games, the longest streak by a Giants player since
Matt Duffy’s 20-game stretch in 2015.
Pete Crow-Armstrong had two hits for the Cubs, who scored an
unearned run in the eighth.
Cubs reliever Colin Rea (5-5), who followed opener Ryan Rolison
after just 11 pitches, allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings.
