US EditionIan Happ homers as the Cubs beat the sloppy Giants 9-2
- The Chicago Cubs defeated the San Francisco Giants 9-2 on a chilly night at Wrigley Field, with Ian Happ hitting a home run that helped build an early lead.
- The Giants' loss resulted mainly from four errors committed by Willy Adames and Matt Chapman, which led to six unearned runs during the game.
- Adames and Chapman each committed two costly errors, including mistakes in the first, fourth, and sixth innings, which helped Chicago put together a five-run rally in the sixth.
- Adames has committed seven errors this season and ranks among the least effective defenders in baseball based on advanced metrics like defensive runs saved and outs above average, where his numbers are notably below zero. Meanwhile, Chapman, who has earned five Gold Glove awards, remarked, "Unfortunately, that's just baseball."
- The errors significantly affected the game's outcome and momentum, with Chapman expressing frustration but pledging to keep working and preparing for future games.
