The Giants turned Wrigley Field into their personal launching pad, crushing the Cubs 18-3 behind a historic offensive outburst that featured 19 hits and five home runs. Matt Chapman led the assault with eight RBIs on two home runs, while Casey Schmitt and Willy Adames each contributed two long balls in a game that was never competitive.
Chapman went 2-for-3 with eight RBIs, matching his season total of 31 with a single game performance. Adames was equally destructive, going 2-for-2 with four RBIs and two walks, while Schmitt collected four hits in six at-bats with three RBIs. The trio combined for six home runs and 15 RBIs as San Francisco's lineup overwhelmed Chicago's pitching staff.
The rout began early when Adames homered to left in the first inning, scoring Arraez to give the Giants a 2-0 lead. The fourth inning broke the game open with six runs, highlighted by Chapman's grand slam to center that scored Arraez, Adames and Eldridge. Schmitt followed with a two-run homer to left center, extending the lead to 8-0. The sixth inning brought seven more runs, including Adames' second homer and Chapman's second grand slam of the game.
Edward Cabrera absorbed the loss for Chicago, allowing eight runs on eight hits over 3.2 innings with six strikeouts. Robbie Ray earned the victory for San Francisco, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out four. His ERA stands at 4.12.
San Francisco extended its winning streak to two games and improved to 25-38, while Chicago fell to 33-30 despite entering on a one-game winning streak. Adames sits four hits away from 1,000 career hits, while Suzuki is four home runs from reaching 100 for his career.
