Game Wrap 6/12/2026: Cubs 5 Giants 1

 In the euphoria of Bryce Eldridge's walk-off grand slam, it was easy to forget the Giants trailed in that game 9-1 after 7 innings.  The team that fell behind 9-1 is the one who showed up for this game and when Eldridge hit another home run in the 9'th inning, the bases were empty.  Key Lines:

Bryce Eldridge DH- 3 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .316.  Luis Arraez had the only other Giants hit for a total of 4.  The rest of the lineup went 0 for 22 with a walk.  

Landen Roupp RHP- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.24.  Roupp threw 105 pitches so by no means pitched well, but left the game trailing 2-0 with 2 runners on base, 2 outs and a lefthanded batter coming up.  Which brings us to.......

Erik Miller LHP- 0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 4.58.  Miller promptly gave up a 3-run homer to the lefty batter he was brought in to face after failing to retire a batter in his previous appearance June 9.

J. T. Brubaker RHP(3.00) pitched 2 scoreless inning.  Sam Hentges LHP(1.74) and Ryan Walker RHP(6.06) added scoreless frames.  Walker in particular looked like he had better command of a sharper slider after spending some time in AAA.

Trevor McDonald RHP tries to even the series tonight facing Ben Brown RHP who comes in with a 1.74 ERA.
