The Giants beat a lefty. The Giants beat a lefty. The Giants beat a lefty. Veteran southpaw Matthew Boyd has had a strong season for the playoff-bound Cubs but last night the Giants dinged him for two big homers (both by righties) and held on for the win. Wilmer Flores hit one in the 2nd to open the scoring and Matt Chapman hit a two-run bomb in the 6th to finish things (and chase Boyd). Justin Verlander threw 101 pitches in his six frames and battled through seven hits and two walks to limit the Cubs to just two runs.
