Despite an early home run that provided a 2-0 Cubs lead for the second straight night, the offense was otherwise anemic against Kevin Gausman as the Giants won for the third night in a row.
Patrick Wisdom provided the early blow as he continues his incendiary ways at the plate, putting the Cubs in the top of the 2nd with a bomb to straightaway center. Alas, that would be the only real fireworks the Cubs would shoot off all night, as Gausman continued his dominance this season.
Cubs starter Kohl Stewart was serviceable in his second start of the week, but was left in one or two batters too long.
