Notes & reviews

Jurges was replaced after misplaying his second popup (he had recently returned to lineup and was still suffering dizzy spells)
Danning crashed into Mattick on the force, causing the Cub to drop the ball; umpire Ballanfant called Danning safe, but the Cubs argued and umpire Campbell overturned the call to out, causing a vehement protest from the Giants.
