Giants can’t answer the call, lose to Cubs again
CHICAGO - When a team gets stuffed like the Giants did in the final three games at Wrigley Field, it's human nature to look for a bogeyman. The Giants fully understand they were outplayed, which made them no less suspicious when the replay phone malfunctioned in the first inning Thursday.
Kris Bryant hit the first of three solo homers against Jeff Samardzija in a 5-1 Cubs victory, their third in a row after the Giants won the opener. Mac Williamson thought a fan reached over the basket to snatch the ball away. Video reviewers Shawon Dunston and Chad Chop saw enough doubt seek a replay.
Dunston grabbed the phone, but it did not ring in the dugout.
