Summary
The Giants are in freefall, losing 6-1 to the Cubs after another one-run game — their ninth this season. They’re 15 games under .500, 17 behind the Dodgers, and only the Rockies are worse in the league. Trevor McDonald lasted just 3⅔ innings, giving up 4 runs, and the rotation’s been pulled before 5 innings eight times in 15 games — only Logan Webb has gone six innings twice. But rookie Bryce Eldridge is lighting up the stat sheet, extending his on-base streak to 19 games — the longest by a Giants rookie since 2015 and the longest in MLB this season. He’s hitting like a star, even if he’s not yet qualified for league leaderboards. The offense is sputtering, the pitching’s crumbling, and the only good news? It’s a beautiful day.
