Give this assemblage of Cubs credit.
Down again early, they fought back and got into the game again with a two-run seventh. But in the top of that inning, a wild pitch by Codi Heuer gave the Giants their sixth run, the difference in a 6-5 loss. The Cubs got swept by a very, very good Giants team, and in so doing you can see how far the Cubs need to go to get back to the level San Francisco inhabits, now 43 games over .500. Meanwhile, this was the Cubs’ 79th loss of the year, their most in a season since 2014.
