The Giants spoiled NBC's Wrigley love-fest with a surprising win to take the series from the Cubs. The visitors scored a run in the 1st and another in the 10th and that was just enough. A crazy double play bailed out Erik Miller in the 8th. Keaton Winn gave us indigestion in the 9th but held the line. With a 2-1 lead to protect TonyV went with FNG Dylan Smith who calmly subdued the Cubs with a strikeout and two pop-ups.
Dylan Smith (age 26) was a 2021 3rd-round draft pick for the Tigers from the University of Alabama. He was in their system for five years but injuries derailed his progress. He made his debut last season and got into seven games (13 IP). Detroit DFAd him this year and the Giants picked him up for "cash considerations." Smith was called up from AAA on Wednesday and pitched in the blowout on Friday (1 IP, 2 K)
Jung Hoo Lee kept his hitting streak alive with his two-out RBI single in the 1st. Matt Chapman's opposite-field single was the clutch hit in the 10th.
The Giants come home from their 5-5 trip to face the Nationals tomorrow at 6:45 Pacific. Logan Webb takes the hill.
Go Giants!
