Overview

  • The Giants erupted for nine runs in the 11th inning, marking their highest-scoring inning of the season and securing a 14-5 win against the Cubs.
  • Patrick Bailey's tiebreaking RBI single initiated the offensive surge, followed by key contributions from Jung Hoo Lee, Matt Chapman, and others.
  • Chicago's bullpen faltered in the 11th, with Ryan Pressly and Caleb Thielbar unable to contain the Giants' relentless offense.
  • Justin Verlander, despite a solid five-inning outing, extended his career-long winless streak to eight starts after the bullpen blew a late lead.
  • The victory set a modern-era Wrigley Field record for extra-inning scoring and gave the Giants momentum heading into Wednesday's series finale.
