The haves and the have-nots in the National League were unmistakable Saturday. The Cubs lost 15-4 to the Giants for their 78th loss of the season. Meanwhile, San Francisco improved to 92-50 and has sat atop the N.L. West all year.
Starter Zach Davies has struggled to find a rhythm all season, and he has gone 0-5 with an 8.31 ERA in his last nine starts.
Those struggles continued against the Giants. Davies lasted just two innings after giving up five runs in the second on Tommy La Stella’s two-run single and Brandon Belt’s three-run home run.
