A 5-3 win on Tuesday and a see-saw 12-11 win on Wednesday had the Chicago Cubs heading into Thursday looking for a sweep of the San Francisco Giants. A win would give them the season series.
Kyle Hendricks took the hill and went up against former Cub, Jeff Samardzija. Both pitchers were locked in from the get-go.
The game would stay scoreless with just two base runners through the first 3 1/2 innings. The Cubs broke through in the fourth. A little help from the sun gave Jason Heyward a single to lead off, and Nick Castellanos would reach on an error.
