Willy Adames homered twice, drove in three runs, and Christian Koss dove across the plate as Jung Hoo Lee's walk-off single into right field gave the Giants a 4-3 victory and a three-game sweep of the Cubs. The win extended the Giants' streak to five consecutive victories and marked their fifth series sweep of the season. Logan Webb fell behind early after three Cubs ground balls found holes, but Adames tied and then reclaimed the lead with homers in the first and sixth. The Giants have homered in 11 straight games, with Adames accounting for five of those 22 homers.
A day after Rafael Devers acted as a one-man offensive force, it was Adames' turn to take the mantle. Devers went 4-for-4 with a walk, two homers, a double while driving in five runs and scoring four times in Wednesday's 12-3 rout, then reached base safely in his first two trips to the plate Thursday before going down swinging on a splitter from Shota Imanaga to lead off the sixth inning, snapping his personal on-base streak.
Adames, meanwhile, followed Devers' walk in the first with his first homer of the afternoon to get the Giants on the board, 2-1, after a trio of Cubs ground balls broke through the infield in the top half to put Logan Webb in an early deficit. He provided the response again in the sixth, launching his second long ball of the game after the Cubs took a 3-2 lead in the top half of the inning.
It was the fourth time this season Adames has homered multiple times in one game, the most by a Giants player since Barry Bonds in 2004. As a team, the Giants have homered in 11 consecutive games dating back to August 17, their longest streak since they went deep 12 games in a row from September 5-17, 2021. Adames has contributed five of the Giants' 22 total homers over the 11-game stretch.
