SAN FRANCISCO—Matt Chapman contributed a two-run single during a game-breaking, three-run, eighth-inning rally Tuesday night as the San Francisco Giants won their second consecutive game over the Chicago Cubs, 5–1.

Six San Francisco pitchers, working a bullpen game, combined on a four-hitter. With six starting pitchers on the injured list, the Giants received shutout relief from Sean Hjelle, Taylor Rogers, Ryan Walker, Tyler Rogers (1–2), and Camilo Doval after opener Randy Rodriguez allowed Chicago’s only run in the third inning.
