The Giants took three of four from the Cubs but it felt like a lost opportunity. They had a real chance at a sweep but couldn't pull it off. That seems like the theme for the season—had a chance but couldn't get it done.
Rookie Hayden Birdsong made his debut Wednesday and the 22-year old impressed everyone with his electric stuff. He made it into the 5th but gave up a homer and that chased him from the game. Still, he whiffed five and did at least as well as his Chicago counterpart Hayden Wesneski.
