Jones' 1st HR not enough in loss to Cubs

Giants starter Matt Moore (3-12) allowed five runs and eight hits in six innings, coming nowhere near matching his eight-inning, two-run, 10-strikeout gem last fall. Javier Baez's two-run, inside-the-park homer in the second inning galvanized Chicago's offense.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Keeping it in the park: Baez notched his first inside-the-park homer on a fastball offering from Moore. Baez lifted the ball to the 421-foot marker in Triples Alley and clocked a home-to-home speed of 16.11 seconds, beating Giants right fielder Carlos Moncrief's 307-foot throw that nearly got the sliding second baseman.
