"Chicago began the game by running into a triple play in the opening frame after a bloop single by Seiya Suzuki with men on first and second. Suzuki was thrown out at second base trying for an extra base after Alex Bregman got an excellent jump to go from first to third. Matt Shaw did not get a good read and froze between second and third, resulting in both players standing on third and Bregman being called out."
"Then, Shaw inexplicably wandered off the bag and became the third out to complete the triple play. The Giants went ahead against Colin Rea in the 2nd inning when Will Brennan picked up an RBI infield single. A pair of run-scoring groundouts by Willy Adames and Rafael Devers in the 5th increased the home team's advantage to 3-0."
