Cubs vs. Giants Game Highlights (6/3/21)

Now for the Giants, on the mound will be Anthony DiScafani. And DiScafani, 4-2 on the year with a 3-5-6 ERA. Jack Peterson, still wearing blue, but just not Dodger blue any longer. Left-handed hitter, crowding the plate. And he swings at the first pitch and he drives one deep into right center field, the big part of the yard. Back on the warning track, Duggar right at the wall. He leaps and makes the catch. So, a nice play there by Stephen Duggar, who has always got a good jump on it. And that'll bring up... Anthony Rizzo. He's hitting .275. Only five home runs so far. 21 batted in. But a .377 on base average. He gets right up on top of the plate. Now the pitch. Swing and a hard ground ball to first. Wade knocks it down, picks it up right at his feet. Runs it to the bag for the out. An action-packed first inning. Eight pitches. And the inning is over. One hit, one left. We go to the last of the first. The Cubs, nothing. The Giants, coming up. Davies has allowed one run over five innings against the Reds in his last on Saturday. Putting the final touches on a very good May. Alex Dickerson in the box. Hitting from the left side against the right-hander, Davies. Pitches. Swung on and missed. Strike three. Side retired as the Giants go in order. And here's El Contra. There's a fastball. He struck him out swinging. El Contra goes down. Three up, three down inning. Radice Clefani. And we go to the last of the second. Flores, Crawford, and Solano coming up. It is nothing to nothing. Now Brandon Crawford. Crawford swings and a base hit right up the middle. Flores comes in to score. And the Giants have a 1-0 lead. And Steven Duggar due up. He's been hot. Duggar hitting 433. Two homers and seven ribbies in his last 11 games. He's hitting a .324 on the year. Hitting from the left side against the right-hander, Davies. Kicked the 0-2. Swang and a miss. And he got him to chase the changeup. That was a good one. One away. So the bases are loaded with one away. And the pitcher, Di Sclafani, due up for San Francisco. Two and two the count. And the bases are still loaded for the Giants with just one away here in the bottom of the second inning. Di Sclafani showing bunt again. Pulls it back. The pitch. Swung on and missed. Strike three. Two away. So two away. Bases loaded. Lamont Wade Jr. at the plate. Davies looks in. Gets the sign from Contreras. He's ready. The 0-2 delivery. Swung on and missed. Strike three. Side retired. The Giants leave the bases loaded. They do push across one run on the RBI single by Crawford. But that's where the damage stops. At the end of two. San Francisco one. The Cubs nothing. The tying run at second base for the Cubs with one away here in the top half of the third inning. It'll bring up Jacque Peterson flat out to deep right center field. To lead off the game. Hitting from the left side against the right-hander Di Sclafani. Owen won the count to Peterson with Sogard at second base. One away. The pitch. This is hit in the air to deep right field. If it's fair, it's gone. And it is a fair ball. Jacque Peterson goes yard. And the Cubs take the lead. Two to one over San Francisco here in the third. So here's Bryant. Chris Bryant has been so hot as a hitter having a really good year. He swings here and breaks his bat. It's a slow roller to short. Crawford charges barehand pickup. Throws to first and he got him. What a nice play Brandon Crawford. Two down. That was beautiful. Anthony Di Sclafani to the plate here. It'll turn the lineup over. For the fifth inning. And who knows? Maybe Di Sclafani can get a hit. Driven to right. It's over. His first hit of the year. And it's a tie ballgame. Wade choking up hitting from the left side against the righty Davies. High left kick and the pitch. Ground ball right side. Sogard has it. Throws to first. Wade is retired. And the Giants' inning is over. But not before they tie up the game. At the end of four. It's the Cubs two. And the Giants two. Lefty versus lefty. Crawford has singled homerun and grounded out to short. Posey leads away from second. Flores from first. 3-0 pitch. There's a drive into deep right center field. He has crushed this one. Way back there. Goodbye! Into the right corner of the visiting bullpen. To the left of the 415-foot marker. A booming three-run homer. For Brandon Crawford. And the Giants have a 5-2 lead. Peterson flied out deep to right center. Duggar had to jump to make the catch after a long run. In front of the visiting bullpen. Then Peterson blasted one into San Francisco Bay. Down the right field line. A long homerun with a man aboard in the third. The right-hander winds. He throws. Swing and a miss. He struck him out. Hard slider. More like a cutter. Down and in. That ended up out of the strike zone. So one away. And here is Chris Bryant. The pitch. On the outside corner. Strike three call with a fastball. Two down, nobody on. And Javier Baez comes up. 2-2 pitch. Swing and a miss. He struck him out. A very similar slider to the one with which he struck out Peterson. To start the inning. So a shut down inning in a big way. He strikes out the side. After being given the lead. We go to the last of the sixth. Chalkman. Di Sclafani. And Lamont Wade Jr. Coming up. The Giants 5. Cubs 2. Donovan Solano. One for three with an infield hit. Solano waiting. Maples throws. And Solano hits a fly ball. Center field. That should be deep enough to get Dubon home. Papp will make the catch. Tagging at third. Dubon. Here comes the throw. It's way off line. Dubon will score. And Crawford read that throw. So he goes to second. So now Duggar has a chance. Swing away 3-0. The pitch. He does. And he lines one to right field. That's going to be a hit. One hop to Bryant. Coming to third is Crawford. He gets the go sign. The throw is off line. Crawford scores standing. Steven Duggar. Knocks in a run. Swinging away. In a 3-0 count. His first hit of the game. It's 7-2 Giants. Chalkman at the plate. One for two with a walk and a run score. The 3-2 delivery. Swung on and missed. That slider. Gets Chalkman. And the inning comes to an end. But not before the Giants put two more runs on the board after 7. San Francisco 7. The Cubs 2. And here is Anthony Rizzo. Two down. Nobody on. 7-2 Giants. And there's a ground ball to deep first. Bostler backhands it. Underhands to Littell. Covering. In time for the out. The ball game is over.
