The Giants defeated the Chicago Cubs 12-3 at Oracle Park behind four home runs, including two from Rafael Devers. Devers opened the scoring with a first-inning solo homer, his 26th of the season. Nico Hoerner hit a three-run homer in the second to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead, but San Francisco reclaimed the lead later in the second with an RBI ground-rule double by Devers and sacrifice flies from Willy Adames and Dominic Smith. A chaotic fifth-inning sequence featuring misplays and a wild throw produced multiple runs and extended the Giants' lead. Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos each added solo homers, and rookie left-hander Carson Whisenhunt allowed three runs over five innings to earn the victory.
The Giants launched four homers en route to beating the Chicago Cubs 12-3 on Wednesday night at Oracle Park, two coming off the bat of designated hitter Rafael Devers. Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos each hit solo homers and rookie left-hander Carson Whisenhunt picked up the second win of his career after allowing three runs over five innings. This is the first time the Giants have won at least four straight games since July 5-8.
With two outs and Devers on first, Dominic Smith snuck a single into center field. Devers rounded second and headed for third, easing up as he approached the base, but Pete Crow-Armstrong's throw beat Devers to the bag in plenty of time. Luckily for San Francisco, Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw could not corral the throw and Devers was safe.
