Rafael Devers had a perfect night: four hits and a walk in five trips. Two of the hits were homers, one a double, one a single and the result was four runs scored and five driven in. It was a good night for the FNG. You can see why Buster got this guy—he's a genuine hitting talent. He can really mash. The other homers were supplied by Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos. Overall the Giants banged out 13 hits and worked three walks, pounding starter Colin Rea and scoring at least once against each of the three Cubs relievers.
Carson Whisenhunt gave up a three-run homer to Nico Hoerner but otherwise survived his five frames and picked up the win. He got great relief work from Joel Peguero, Tristan Beck, and Carson Seymour.
This is fun! That's four straight wins. I always say "nothing a ten-game win streak can't cure." That would be nice, eh? But I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. This is fun. The Cubs are a good team and the Giants have whipped them twice. Who are these guys?
It's Logan Webb tomorrow afternoon (12:45 Pacific) in the finale. The Orioles come to town for the weekend.
Go Giants!

That was Chapman's 200th career home run.
Fun indeed. I love how Devers uses the entire field. It makes him a good fit for China Basin.
I’m trying to decide if this team grossly over performed at the beginning of the season or if we can expect similar results in the future. I want to believe we have a solid core to build off-just upgrade at a few spots. But the highs and lows have me skeptical of the cores’ potential. Maybe as long as they don’t all slump at the same time….
I know what you mean. This team is bewildering, for sure.
