FINAL: Cubs are winners of three straight for the first time since May 8, when they completed their second 10-game win streak of the campaign.
This one is a 6-1 victory over the Giants, featuring homers from PCA, Ian Happ and Pedro Ramirez. PCA was a triple short of the cycle.

Official word is Seiya Suzuki left the game with right knee discomfort after attempting to make that catch in right field.

Seiya Suzuki made a terrific diving catch earlier in tonight's game. In attempting to make a running, reaching grab in the fourth inning, he suffered an apparent injury and comes off the field.
Matt Shaw takes over in right field.

Another eventful night for Michael Busch, who after a splash-hit homer last night has doubled, scored on what was ruled a steal of home amid some wonky Giants defense and drawn a bases-loaded walk.
Cubs have a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning.

Playing time's been hard to come by for Matt Shaw, but he's still earning compliments for staying ready for whatever the Cubs throw at him -- and wherever they want him to play chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/20…

Ben Brown walked two, gave up an RBI triple in the third inning. He had runners at the corners, one out and got back-to-back Ks to avoid more damage.
Seiya Suzuki made a terrific catch, too, his second gem of the night after throwing a runner out at 2B in the first. Cubs up 3-1.

Michael Busch is out here making more great defensive plays, like he did last night, the latest example of the Cubs' super reliable defense, baseball's best and good enough to weather most any offensive slump. chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/20…

Tonight, Michael Busch became the fifth Cub ever to splash a homer down in McCovey Cove. icyww, Corey Patterson was the first, in 2004.
And look whose jersey was spotted leaving the ballpark.

FINAL: Cubs win 5-1, grab back-to-back victories for the first time since they ended their 10-game losing streak with consecutive "Ws" in late May.
Michael Busch splashed down in McCovey Cove. Javier Assad went six scoreless innings. An all-around performance for these Cubs.

In addition to hitting Cubs' fourth-ever splash-hit homer in San Fran, Michael Busch is playing nice defense at first. Made heck of a play on 3-6-3 double play to end fifth inning and just clipped Luis Arraez on helmet to score (replay-assisted) out in sixth.

How have the Cubs handled the onslaught of injuries in their starting rotation this season?

A move in the Cubs’ bullpen ahead of tonight’s series-opener in San Francisco: Trent Thornton is back from the paternity list, with Tyler Ferguson going back to Triple-A Iowa.

From foggy Frisco (they hate it when you call it Frisco), here’s a couple two tree things about the Cubs.
