Cubs fans were already streaming toward the exits as closer Ryan Pressly walked off the field. Of those left, a smattering sent him off with boos.

What had been a thrilling back-and-forth extra-innings contest had descended into a bludgeoning.

In the Cubs’ 14-5 11-inning loss, the Giants rallied for nine runs in the final inning, all eight earned runs charged to Pressly.

“He’s a true professional guy who wants the ball, who wants big moments, to compete and win games for us, and he’s going to do that a lot this year,” second baseman Nico Hoerner said.
