Logan Webb and Caleb Kilian delivered a strong pitching performance on Sunday, combining for a seven-hitter to defeat the Chicago Cubs 5-1. This victory allowed the San Francisco Giants to avoid a series sweep at home.
Matt Chapman provided key offensive support with a home run and two RBIs, while Jung Hoo Lee contributed two hits. Webb (4-4) was exceptional, pitching eight innings without allowing a walk and striking out seven. He effectively navigated runners in scoring position throughout the game, continuing a streak of strong starts.
The Giants' offense managed just enough runs to secure the win. Lee singled in the fifth, advanced on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Drew Gilbert's double. Chapman followed with his seventh home run of the season. Bryce Eldridge added an RBI single in the seventh, extending his impressive on-base streak.
The Cubs managed only an unearned run in the eighth inning. Their pitcher, Colin Rea (5-5), struggled after an early opener. The Giants are set to face the Colorado Rockies next, while the Cubs are scheduled to play the Atlanta Braves.
