00:00For the Giants Scott Casimir the
00:03starter now he may not stay in
00:05there for very long we don't
00:07know Gabe Kaepernick did say
00:08before the game that there are
00:10no restrictions there's no pitch
00:11count he'll stay in there as long
00:14as he's effective as long as he
00:15looks good Wilson Contreras
00:17getting set to lead things off
00:19the liner shallow right falling
00:20in for a base hit Cubs begin the
00:22game with a single Chris Bryant
00:25will come up against Casimir
00:26here it's Bryant who's hitting
00:284-0-4 against lefties third
00:29highest in MLB and Bryant is
00:31having an outstanding year
00:32overall it's crushed left field
00:35that won't back there on its way
00:37and that one is gone Chris Bryant
00:40pulls it and crushes it over the
00:42left field wall and no gather
00:44and that quickly it is to nothing
00:47Anthony Rizzo steps in here's a
00:49swing by Rizzo and a pop up
00:51shallow right field coming in is
00:52Tauchman and he'll get there with
00:54the wind pushing it Tauchman makes
00:56the catch the wind is going to be
00:57a factor tonight that is out
00:59number one and Javi Baez will come
01:02up swing and a miss strike three on
01:04the changeup well thrown by
01:07Casimir and so give Casimir credit
01:09after that Bryant home run he's
01:11bounced back and he's gotten both
01:12Rizzo and Baez two down and up
01:15comes the former St. Mary's Gale
01:17Patrick Wisdom that's hammered into
01:19left field that could be extra
01:20bases it gets past Dickerson and
01:23banks against the wall wisdom to
01:25second and he's got a double Cubs with
01:28their third hit in the opening
01:29inning let's see if Jock Peterson can
01:31drive in wisdom who stays hot
01:32Swings and misses strike three
01:35Casimir got him Jake Arrieta on the
01:37hill tonight for the Cubs Arrieta 35
01:39years old and he is in his tenth year at
01:42the big league level on the mound to
01:43make his eleventh start he's five and
01:44five he's had a decision in every start
01:46this year Lamont Wade Jr. playing first
01:49base again tonight for the Giants fly
01:51ball to left routine for Peterson now
01:54drifting back and he makes the catch he
01:56may have lost that in the sky man that
02:00ball definitely got a push from the
02:02wind so one out here's Alex Dickerson and
02:04that's a walk for Dickerson and up comes
02:07Buster Posey on the ground let's see if
02:10they can turn it there's one there's two
02:12three well that'll work Jake Arrieta
02:15using the sinker to get the ground
02:17out it's going to be a leadoff double
02:19opposite field for Brandon Crawford
02:21now Evan Longoria will come up a
02:23chance to drive in a run and the
02:24Giants can get one closer there's a
02:26ground ball base hit into center
02:28field Crawford scores standing and the
02:31Cubs lead is two to one on the base
02:34hit by Evan Longoria so now Steven
02:36Duggar very confident player right now
02:38playing the best baseball of his big
02:40league career blasted to right field
02:42this one is hit hard and it is gone up
02:45onto that tin roof a line drive home
02:49run that just stayed in the air and
02:51Steven Duggar has put the Giants ahead
02:54three to two man that was impressive
02:57very bumpy beginning for Arrieta here
03:00in the second inning Alex Dickerson will
03:02be the eighth giant to bat in the
03:04inning hit hard and deep to right field
03:06this one is gone Alex Dickerson goes
03:10deep this time a three run homer for the
03:14Giants it's six to two file that one
03:16under the category of annoying for
03:18Gabe Kapler leadoff walk four run lead
03:20and a power hitter coming up
03:22Jock Peterson coming up now here's
03:23where the Cubs could use a long ball
03:26that's drilled out to left there's
03:28some damage that one back off the wall
03:30and gone Jack Peterson the other way
03:34it's a two run homer and the Cubs
03:36right back in it Jason Vossler who
03:39was originally drafted by the Cubs
03:41against his old organization that's
03:43a good spot for Vossler because he
03:45does have power Vossler hit that one
03:47pretty hard to center field really
03:49hard half all the way back it's gone
03:52second big-league home run and against
03:55the team that drafted him and don't
03:57think he doesn't know that and here is
04:00leadoff man Lamont Wade Jr. Wade takes
04:03one deep down the right field line and
04:05it is on that roof another home run for
04:09the Giants amazing their fourth home run

04:16business here in the top half of the
04:18fifth inning men at the corners no outs

04:52at bat a pretty big one in this game
04:54it's only the fifth inning really does
04:56wisdom strikes out swinging that was a
04:59perfect high fastball and Littell did a
05:02great job of limiting the damage a
05:04sinking liner that the left fielder
05:06tried to catch with a diving effort it
05:08bounced off his body and paramed way out
05:10to deep left center Cubs have a man at
05:13third with two down Eric Sogard has been
05:16sent to the plate the pinch hit 2-2 so
