Cubs Snap Losing Streak with Extra-Inning Win Over Giants

Chicago avoids sweep in San Francisco, but pitching injuries and offensive struggles persist.

Ian Happ's 10th-inning home run secured a 5-3 victory, ending the Cubs' four-game skid.
Javier Assad placed on the injured list, further testing the Cubs' pitching depth.
Shota Imanaga showed improvement, allowing three runs over six innings after a rough previous start.
