San Francisco — Willy Adames powered the Giants with a two-homer performance, driving in three runs and pegging the Cubs back before a dramatic walk-off capped a 4-3 victory that completed a three-game sweep and stretched San Francisco’s win streak to five.
Adames opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run homer that put the Giants on the board at 2-1 after a sequence of Cubs grounders that broke through the infield. He struck again in the sixth, delivering a solo shot that erased a 3-2 deficit as Chicago briefly reclaimed the lead. Adames touched home twice in all, and his three RBI helped buoy a high-offense afternoon on the San Francisco waterfront.
The walk-off moment came in the bottom of the final frame when Jung Hoo Lee lined a right-field single that eluded Cubs, allowing Christian Koss to score from second and deliver the 4-3 finish. Adames, who had already sprinted from the dugout railing in anticipation, was the first Giants player to greet Koss at the plate.
The Giants’ surge continued behind Logan Webb, who worked seven innings, scattered seven hits, and did not walk a batter, but was touched up by two solo homers. He left with the decision pending as his season-long string of sturdy seven-inning outings continued. It was a rare game for Webb in which multiple homers crossed, a note that echoed his lone other game this season with more than one home run surrendered, back on July 11 against the Dodgers.
Adames’ performance kept him in the thick of a prolific stretch for the Giants. He has accounted for five of San Francisco’s 22 homers during an 11-game stretch in which the team has gone deep in 11 consecutive games, the longest such run since a 12-game streak in September 2021. If he can keep adding to his total, he would be within reach of becoming the first Giants player since Barry Bonds to reach 30 homers in a season.
Outside the numbers, the atmosphere matched the afternoon’s warmth and sunshine along the San Francisco waterfront, a setting that underscored the Giants’ current momentum as they look to capitalize on an extended stretch of strong performances.
What it means going forward is clear: San Francisco has found a late-season rhythm, and Adames’ multi-homer performance, coupled with Lee’s clutch walk-off, highlights the depth and resilience driving these late-inning wins. As the season progresses, the Giants will look to keep riding this wave and build on the confidence that comes with sweeping a strong Cubs squad.
