Cubs 4, Giants 2: Good pitching and timely hitting

I love baseball games like this. A good pitchers’ duel finally broken up in the ninth inning with timely hitting. (Helps when the timely hitting is from the team you’re rooting for.) I could have done without the bottom-of-the-ninth drama, but the Cubs held on for a 4-2 win over the Giants, evening up their series.

Marcus Stroman and Alex Cobb matched each other almost exactly for six innings. Cobb held the Cubs hitless until Ian Happ singled with two out in the fourth, but the Cubs could not score in that inning. Cobb eventually struck out 11.
