The win extends San Francisco's four-game surge fueled by power hitting with steadier pitching.

Overview

  • Rafael Devers delivered a solo shot in the first and a three-run homer in the sixth, finishing with five RBIs for his second multihomer game since joining the Giants.
  • Matt Chapman recorded his 200th career home run after earlier driving in a run, and a fifth-inning throw off his helmet allowed an additional run to score.
  • Rookie Carson Whisenhunt worked five innings for the victory, allowing three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and three walks to improve to 2-1.
  • Chicago loaded the bases in the first and fifth but hit into inning-ending double plays both times, later turning to catcher Reese McGuire to pitch the eighth.
