CHICAGO — No pitcher is invincible, no fence is too far and no lead is safe.
Throw out any preconceived notion that the San Francisco Giants can’t slug it with the rest of the league, too. Hitting the ball out of the park, however, doesn’t guarantee their desired result.
For the second time on their road trip, the Giants rode the home run seesaw in the type of high-scoring affair that used to be exclusive to Coors Field.
Instead of playing 5,000 feet above sea level, the Giants and Cubs found a similar result 500 feet up in a 12-11 Giants (63-64) defeat on Wednesday that would have been considered an instant classic in the first 104 years of Wrigley Field.
