The Cubs’ consistent offensive pressure Monday seemed to be unravelling the Giants.
In the Cubs’ 9-2 win at Wrigley Field on Monday, they pulled ahead on Ian Happ’s two-run home run in the third inning. And they kept adding on, with a two-run single from Dansby Swanson in the fourth and a leadoff homer from Carson Kelly in the sixth.
And while play up to that point included one fielding error by the Giants – third baseman Matt Chapman failed to pick up a dribbler off the bat of speedy Pete Crow-Armstrong in the fourth inning – the Cubs mostly built a 5-2 lead on timely hitting.
