The San Francisco Giants have looked unstoppable for the last six days. That continued on Thursday when Jung Hoo Lee’s walkoff single gave the Giants a 4-3 victory, their fifth straight win, and a series sweep of the Chicago Cubs Wednesday.
With one out in the 9th inning and the score tied 3-3, Lee singled off Daniel Palencia (1-4) to score Christian Koss, who was pinch-running for Wilmer Flores and delivered an impressive but thoroughly unnecessary head-first slide into home for the winning run. That gave the Giants a 4-3 win, although as per his career history, the Giants didn’t score early enough for hard-luck starter Logan Webb (still 12-9) to get the victory, despite it being his 18th start of the season pitching six or more innings and allowing three or fewer runs.
