Bryant's homer gives Cubs a 12-11 win over Giants
(CHICAGO) – After watching the Cubs waste a couple of leads, Kris Bryant felt a loss was almost inevitable. That quickly changed with one swing by the Chicago slugger. Bryant hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Cubs a 12-11 comeback victory over the San Francisco Giants in a wild, back-and-forth game Wednesday night at Wrigley Field. Nicholas Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber also connected for Chicago, which has won four straight. The Cubs moved back into first place in the NL Central by a half-game over St. Louis, which lost to Milwaukee in a rain-shortened game. Castellanos, who went 4 for 5, has homered in three consecutive games for the second time in his career. He has eight in 19 games since being acquired in a trade before the July 31 deadline. Evan Longoria, Mike Yastrzemski, Stephen Vogt and Kevin Pillar homered for San Francisco, which has dropped three in a row. Reyes Moronta (3-7) took the loss for the Giants. Brandon Kintzler (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning to get the win for Chicago. Craig Kimbrel worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 11th save.
