Giants' Nine-Run 11th Inning Defeats Cubs 14-5

News summary

The San Francisco Giants set a Wrigley Field record by scoring nine runs in the 11th inning to defeat the Chicago Cubs 14-5, marking the most runs ever allowed by the Cubs in extra innings. The game, initially tied after a late Cubs rally, turned dramatically when Giants catcher Patrick Bailey delivered a tiebreaking single, sparking a cascade of hits that included contributions from Jung Hoo Lee and Matt Chapman. Lee also hit a two-run homer, while Chapman rebounded from fielding errors in the previous game to collect three hits and two runs. Justin Verlander started for the Giants, pitching five innings but earning a no-decision as the Cubs rallied late to force extras. The loss was historic for the Cubs, eclipsing a record set in 1921, and left fans at Wrigley Field stunned as the Giants sent 12 batters to the plate in the decisive inning. The outcome highlighted the Giants' offensive potential and resilience after a tough series opener.
