Wilmer Flores drew a bases loaded walk in the ninth, capping a wild comeback as the San Francisco Giants snapped a five-game skid with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.
Matt Chapman homered and started the rally with a bloop double off Colten Brewer.Flores was the eighth Giants player to bat in the ninth. His walk scored Patrick Bailey, who singled with one on and one out in a 4-3 game to score Chapman, and Austin Slater’s sacrifice fly two batters later tied the game."We all got to wear No.
Smyly got the last two outs for his first save in two attempts after Chapman scored on Michael Conforto’s sacrifice fly off Brewer."There’s no question we left runs on the bases for sure, and that plays into it as well," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said."We could have had five, six, seven on the board by just moving the ball forward and we didn’t do it and we’ve got to do better at that. That was a game that we should’ve broken open and that cost us.
