The San Francisco Giants won a blowout against the Chicago Cubs today, 15-4. They’ve won six in a row, tying their season high, and have yet to be defeated on this road trip.
The Cubs took an early lead against Kevin Gausman, scoring one run in the first. But Tommy La Stella and the Captain, aka Brandon Belt, roared back with a five-run second inning fueled by a two-run single from La Stella, followed by a three-run home run from Belt.
La Stella and Belt were a lethal one-two combo at the top of the order today, with La Stella going 3-for-6, scoring three runs and knocking in five, and Belt going 2-for-4, scoring two runs and knocking in three.
