Giants edge Cubs in 10th, Taillon exits with injury as Giants clinch 2-1 win

TL;DR Summary
In a tense 2-1 extra-innings win, the Giants took the lead in the 10th when Matt Chapman delivered an RBI single that scored the ghost-runner, and they held on as the Cubs wasted scoring chances. Cubs starter Jameson Taillon left early with a left hamstring strain and was replaced by Javier Assad, who pitched well for 6.1 innings. The Cubs’ offense remained quiet with runners in scoring position, and they failed to win a series despite the earlier momentum. Full box score and postgame notes are included in the piece.
