00:00It will not be easy for the Cubs against Kevin Gossman.
00:04He is the reigning National League pitcher of the month in May.
00:07He makes his first start in June.
00:10A 1.40 earner on average, good for fourth best of the majors.
00:14First-year Cub, Jock Peterson leading things off.
00:17Swing, and there's a high fly ball into shallow right center, in and to his right.
00:22Tuchman, now he starts to backpedal as the wind starts to carry it, and he makes the catch.
00:26One down, ballgame just underway.
00:28And here is Chris Bryant having just a fantastic first half of the season.
00:33Swing, and a little bouncer hit slowly toward third.
00:35Charged by Longoria.
00:36He picks it up cleanly.
00:37The jump pivot, the snap throw, in time to get Bryant by a step at first base.
00:44What a remarkable play that was for Longoria.
00:48And I don't know anybody that makes the exchange from glove hand to bear hand any better than him.
00:53Two up and two down.
00:54Here is Javier Baez.
00:56And he struck him out swinging.
00:58And that was the splitter I think he'd been looking for that whole inning.
01:02Three up, three down.
01:03Good story in Cole Stewart, 26-year-old, a former number four overall pick by the Twins.
01:09He makes his second start today as the Cub, just his eighth ever in the majors.
01:13Lamont Wade Jr. to lead off for the Giants.
01:15A strike three called.
01:16Good sinking fastball that nipped the inside corner.
01:19Good start for Stewart.
01:21Here's Alex Dickerson.
01:22Hits a high fly ball.
01:24Shallow left, racing in Peterson, looking up into the sun.
01:28It is partly sunny.
01:29And he makes the catch, and that's out number two.
01:32Scoreless game, first inning.
01:33Here's Evan Longoria.
01:35And he draws a two-out walk.
01:37That keeps the inning alive for Brandon Crawford.
01:39Into the shift.
01:40From a knee.
01:42And a hop.
01:43Rizzo can't hold on to it.
01:45And trying to get Longoria on the back end.
01:47He's back in standing.
01:48Crawford is aboard safe.
01:50Tough play for Sogard.
01:51And with two outs, the Giants have two on base.
01:54Two outs and two on.
01:55Here is Steven Duggar.
01:56Fastball strike three called.
01:58Good pitch by Stewart on the outside edge.
02:01Duggar didn't like the call.
02:03The inning is over.
02:04Two strikeouts for Stewart.
02:05Two outs trying to work around a leadoff error.
02:08In steps Patrick Wisdom.
02:09Here's a swing and a high fly ball.
02:11Center field pretty well hit.
02:12Back toward the center field fence.
02:14It's got a chance.
02:15Gone.
02:17Patrick Wisdom with a home run into the Cubs bullpen.
02:20The Cubs lead two to nothing.
02:22That leadoff error comes around to score.
02:25Kevin Gosman begins his third inning of work.
02:28Pitcher v. pitcher.
02:29Cole Stewart leading things up.
02:31Here's a swing and a smash on the ground.
02:33In the center field base hit.
02:35How about that?
02:35Cole Stewart says Kevin Gosman 6-0 with a 1.40 ERA.
02:41So what?
02:41As John Peterson steps in.
02:43Now a swing and a miss.
02:44Strike three.
02:45He got him with the splitter.
02:47Third strikeout for Gosman.
02:49It's a big out.
02:49Not that he's through the stress yet.
02:51Because now you get Chris Bryant in the batter's box.
02:54And Bryant strikes out swinging.
02:55A foul tip on the split finger pitch.
02:57Held by Chadwick Trump.
02:59Out number two.
03:01Now two down.
03:01Javi Baez.
03:03Swung on and missed.
03:04Strike three.
03:04He got him.
03:05And he never threw him a fastball.
03:07So how about that pitching?
03:08Giants have won eight of their last ten.
03:10They're averaging essentially six runs per game with that stretch.
03:14And nearly two homers a game.
03:16Dickerson.
03:16It's a fly ball.
03:17Deep left field.
03:18Peterson going back to the wall.
03:20And he reaches up.
03:21He can't get it.
03:22It's gone.
03:23And Alex Dickerson goes opposite field to put the Giants on the board.
03:28Ground rule double.
03:29Evan Longoria on base for the second time.
03:32So with two outs, a home run.
03:33And now a two base hit by Longoria.
03:36And the inning will continue with Brandon Crawford coming up.
03:39Strike three called.
03:40Backdoor breaking ball.
03:41Hit the knees on the outside corner.
03:43And now two men on with one away.
03:45This is a huge hit bat here for the Giants.
03:47Chadwick Trump.
03:48And he lines one into right center field.
03:50That's a hit for Trump.
03:51Coming around third is Duggar.
03:53Duggar scores.
03:54The Giants have tied the game at two.
03:56The bionic arm giving himself up and moving both runners up the station.
04:02The second and third for the Giants.
04:04Third time up for Lamont Wade Jr.
04:06Wade.
04:07It's a base hit in the left field.
04:09There was nobody at shortstop.
04:11In to score, Vossler.
04:12And with that, Lamont Wade Jr. has put the Giants in front with two outs of the fourth.
04:17It's 3-2 San Francisco.
04:19Giants have knocked the Cubs starter out early again today.
04:22Tommy Nance in pitching for the Cubs.
04:25Alex Dickerson due up.
04:27Runners at first and third.
04:29Hop fly playable.
04:31Shallow left.
04:32Backing up as Wisdom coming over Baez.
04:34Making the call and the catch.
04:36And that ends the inning.
04:37Longoria leads off against Winkler with a walk.
04:40He'll bring up the clean up man for San Francisco, Brandon Crawford.
04:43Crawford likes that first pit.
04:45375 on the year with two home runs.
04:47Well, he jumps out of the first pitch.
04:49Lashed down towards right field.
04:51And it bangs off the bricks.
04:53As Longoria running all the way.
04:56Scores.
04:57Brandon Crawford's second hit today has put the Giants in front 4-2.
05:01Gossman back on the hill.
05:03Bryant, who has been one of the best producers in the game to date, has gone 0-2 so far facing Gossman.
05:09Chasing.
05:10Splitter gets him.
05:11Eight strikeout for Kevin Gossman.
05:13Two outs, nobody on for Baez.
05:16Another 2-2.
05:16Chasing the splitter.
05:19Nine strikeouts for Gossman over six innings.
05:22Dominant stuff once again.
05:24Gossman has sat down the last 12 batters in a row.
05:27Looking at Anthony Rizzo.
05:28Rizzo hits it very softly out in front of home plate.
05:31It's a fair ball.
05:32Trump pounces on it and just reaches over with his right arm and tags out Rizzo.
05:37For out number one.
05:39One out for Wilson Contreras.
05:42Contreras hits a high fly ball center field.
05:44Duggar going back.
05:46Drifting back.
05:47He'll square up short of the warning track and make the catch in front of 3-91.
05:51It's two down.
05:52What a clean line for Gossman so far today.
05:55Another 2-2.
05:56He got him swinging.
05:58That splitter has been filth all day.
06:01Tyler Rogers takes over on the mound to try to get the save.
06:044-2.
06:05Giants over the Cubs in the ninth.
06:06And now the tying run is at first.
06:09And Anthony Rizzo, the potential go-ahead run, is at the plate as the plot thickens.
06:15Soft chop.
06:16Collision.
06:18Crawford and Longoria collide midway between second and third.
06:23And Bryant scores.
06:24And hopefully both are okay.
06:27It's a one-run game.
06:28Longoria clearly took that hard.
06:30And Longoria coming out.
06:32Very interesting now.
06:33First and second for the Cubs.
06:35And Rodgers will now go to work on Wilson Contreras.
06:39Cubs have a chance.
06:41Swing and a miss.
06:43Two gone.
06:44Second and third now with two outs.
06:46It's up to Jason Hayward.
06:48Swing.
06:48Ground ball to second.
06:50Picked up by Solano.
06:51He throws him out.
06:52And the Giants have won it.
06:54The Giants make it three in a row over the Central Division leading Chicago Cubs.
