00:26bat really well and one up and one down when you see Logan Webb getting that
00:35four-seamer middle up in the zone that's where you're gonna try to get Pete Crow
00:39Armstrong out a little bit and hitters are 0 for 10 in his last start off that
00:44forcing fastball back-to-back singles Bregman and Bushy both hit those balls
00:49right on the button and the Cubs have something going now against Logan Webb

01:35center Pete Crow Armstrong makes the catch as he drifts onto the warning track one two three go the Giants
01:42Pete Crow Armstrong here struck out swinging his first time Webb deals here's a line smash that's gonna be a
01:50fair ball fair ball bouncing off the sidewall Pete is gonna hold with a single two outs
01:55first man at first Crow Armstrong a threat to go there goes a runner
02:00pitches a ball throw the second too late Pete Crow Armstrong with stolen base number 16
02:07so a man in scoring position for the Cubs for Alex Bregman and the Cubs this year hitting with runners
02:13in scoring position
02:14it has been difficult at times
02:18that one in the dirt all the way to the backstop and Crow Armstrong down to third on a wild
02:24pitch
02:24Crow Armstrong edging away foul ground at third three two
02:29and a little floater in the left fall and coming out and making the catch is Casey Schmidt
02:36well he's just learning the outfield this year and he made a nice play right there infielder by trade
02:44and able to hold that one in and prevent a hit and a run one down
02:48I did not the one to
02:51that is strike three called
02:54sinker this time he came with that sort of hip shot sinker beautifully thrown
03:00there may not be anybody in baseball throws that pitch better than Webb two down
03:04and he struck him out
03:06Webb goes upstairs and gets him
03:09Webb strikes out the last two in the fourth he's got four strikeouts overall
03:14midway through fourth
03:15two away now
03:18and it'll bring up Raphael Devers there's no score here
03:21in San Francisco
03:23good
03:23line drive base hit right field that's the lunging Ramirez
03:27as Devers hits a rocket
03:30two outs and a man aboard to now Schmidt when he delivers offensively it's through slow
03:36line drive right field Conforto can't get it off his glove
03:41Devers to third
03:43Gary Pettis will hold him up
03:45and in the second goes Casey Schmidt
03:49Michael Conforto just missed it
03:52really good effort there from Conforto ball inside to Schmidt
03:57good job knocking it down if he doesn't touch this ball that's definitely a run
04:02so him knocking that down with that great effort
04:04keeps it second third with two outs and Colin Ray a chance to get out of this
04:08Willie Adamas hits a fly ball to left
04:10Happ is right there he's got it
04:12and Colin Ray gets out of the jam
04:15no runs two hits two left
04:18Grace is coming on
04:20take low for Ryan Rolison
04:22pretty well
04:24Flair
04:25and that's over the head of Brackman who's trying to chase it down
04:29he does
04:30and quickly fires to second
04:32Jung-Hu Lee is two for two
04:35so leadoff man is on first
04:37Susang pushes a good butt to third
04:40Brackman was back
04:44and that was well done by both Brackman and Bush
04:48and Susang put down a very good one
04:51almost a little bit of an early drag here
04:54Brackman way back
04:55feeling the defense but that's why he's got the gold hardware
04:59and a nice play by Bush here bare hands you see
05:03and Bush picking him up you need that good first baseman down there to be able to bail you out
05:07that's how the defense scores well throughout the season
05:09and now here is Logan Gilbert base hit could mean a run it's nothing nothing fifth and
05:13in the air left field
05:24and the Giants
05:26and the Giants
05:45left field hit well deep back goes pro Anderson at the wall he leaps and goodbye
05:52Over the center field, what a two-run homer for Matt Chapman,
05:57and now it's 3-0 Giants.
06:00Pete Crow Armstrong went all the way back.
06:02He made a leap for it.
06:04And as you were holding your breath, he came down, and he didn't have it.
06:08If it was catchable, I think he would have caught it.
06:11Made a great effort for that one.
06:14Just missed his glove.
06:15And the Giants with a 3-0 lead.
06:18Hobie Milner, the long-legged left-hander for the Cubs, working on Luis Arise.
06:23That one bunting towards first.
06:24Milner calls off Bush, flips to him.
06:27And nice job by the pitcher.
06:29Sacrifice, and down to second goes Chapman.
06:31Bryce Eldridge down.
06:33He muscles this one into left field.
06:35Base hit.
06:35Chapman coming around third.
06:37Gary Pettis gives him the go sign.
06:38Here comes the throw home.
06:39It's late.
06:40Chapman scores standing.
06:43Eldridge got jammed but found a way to fight it into left field.
06:47It's an RBI hit for Bryce Eldridge.
06:50And the Giants lead 4-0.
06:54Logan Webb has been razor sharp.
06:56It's been really good.
06:57All quadrants really not having to come in much.
07:00Staying away.
07:00It's up and down away.
07:02He's getting that two-step breaking ball over for strikes.
07:06And the change-up has been his pitch.
07:08You just can't get the timing right as a hitter.
07:104-0 Giants eighth inning.
07:12Logan Webb stays in this game.
07:14Nice pitch there by Logan Webb.
07:16Webb gets the punch out and he is locked in.
07:20He's got seven strikeouts.
07:22He's got seven and a third here today.
07:24A little cutter here that just holds the bottom of the zone.
07:26Just doesn't break down.
07:28Excellent pitch there from Webb.
07:30That one up the middle.
07:31Rice hits off the back.
07:33And it's going to be an infield hit for Dansby Swanson.
07:38And the way things have been going for Dansby Swanson, he'll say, I needed that.
07:42I'll take that.
07:43Just a routine-looking ground ball that hit second base and ends up being a hit for Swanson.
07:49Now Pete Crow Armstrong annihilates one at 104 miles an hour.
07:55And right at the second baseman, Louisa Rimes.
07:59Bregman needs to keep the inning alive if possible.
08:02Popped up.
08:03Chasing it for it.
08:04Schmitt.
08:05It'll fall for a hit.
08:07Racing for third is Swanson.
08:09And he's in.
08:09And it gets past Chapman.
08:11Swanson will get it.
08:13Chapman retrieves.
08:14Swanson in to score.
08:16And down to second is Bregman.
08:19I wonder if Casey Schmitt had it to do all over again.
08:22And maybe he just puts it in his pocket.
08:24Definitely would have rather hung on to that one.
08:28Tony Vitello out.
08:30And he will make the pitching change.
08:33Oh, he's staying in.
08:35So a season-high 105 pitches.
08:38It is so rare these days that a manager comes to the mound and doesn't bring the hook with him.
08:43The fans loving it.
08:45And I know Logan Webb is loving it.
08:47Tony has a lot of confidence in Logan Webb, as he should.
08:50That one is ripped to right.
08:52Back to the corner.
08:54And Lee makes the catch.
08:57Oh, baby, what a play.
09:00Logan Webb loving it.
09:02Lee saves the day.
09:04He steals extra bases from Michael Bush.
09:08And a run from the Cubs.
09:10Ethan Roberts taking over for Collin Ray as he faces Casey Schmitt.
09:17Chopped up.
09:19Kelly doesn't see.
09:20Bush.
09:22Reckman can't find it.
09:24And it falls for a hit.
09:25This place for day games has one of the harder Sunfields that there is.
09:30And we just saw it.
09:32Susek stands in.
09:33Oh and two.
09:34Runner goes.
09:35Pitch outside.
09:36Throwing a second.
09:39Sports away.
09:40Schmitt with a stolen base.
09:42And that's a six.
09:43Now runner in scoring position.
09:53The Giants get the run back in his 5-1.
09:56The amount of soft contact that we have seen today.
10:01Both ways.
10:02Both ways.
10:02It's such a big ballpark.
10:04You know, you get rewarded for staying inside the ball here.
10:07Eddie, number nine.
10:08And Caleb Killian in for the bullpen for the Giants.
10:11In relief of Logan Webb.
10:14And just like that, the Cubs are down to their last chance.
10:18Fly ball right field.
10:20Lee coming on.
10:21Lee makes the catch.
10:23And that's the ball game.
10:25The Giants winning 5-1 the final.
