The Giants opened a 4 game series in Chicago this evening and came out looking good, winning the opener, 6 - 4.
Joe Panik batting in the #1 hole, led off with a home run off of old Giants nemesis John Lackey. Giants kept the pressure on, scoring 2 more in the 3rd (again, Joe Panik, doubling in Gorkys Hernandez and then scoring on a Brandon Belt single); 1 in the 4th (Justin Ruggiano doubling in Edward Nunez); 1 on a Belt home run in the 5th; and 1 in the 8th on a Ruggiano home run.
