It wasn’t easy, but the Cubs were finally able to win a game against the Giants at Oracle Park on Thursday afternoon. It was an extra-innings affair that featured another blown lead and being forced to sweat out a prime scoring chance to secure the save in the 10th.
Nico Hoerner got his team on the board with a two-run homer off of Jordan Hicks in the 2nd inning and Seiya Suzuki added a triple later in the frame to give the Cubs a 3-0 advantage. Shu014dta Imanaga was much better Thursday after his 10-run implosion against the Mets, keeping San Francisco off the board through five.
