CHICAGO — The baseball is flying like never before and few Giants have reaped the rewards quite like rookie outfielder Mike Yastrzemski.
So when Yastrzemski sent a pitch in the air toward deep center field in the seventh inning on Tuesday, the fans inside a packed Wrigley Field took a deep breath.
Cubs fans had seen their own hitters pummel three home runs off Giants starter Tyler Beede, watched the Giants hit two homers of their own against Cole Hamels and for the last five months, experienced the twists and turns that come with a bullpen that takes Chicago on a nightly roller coaster ride.
