Chicago Cubs (51-37) vs. San Francisco Giants (48-45) July 10, 2018 AT&T Park Game No. 89 Road Game No. 46 LHP José Quintana (7-6, 4.22) vs. LHP Derek Holland (5-7, 4.35) EXTRA, EXTRA: Kyle Hendricks (8.1 IP, 0 ER) was dominant but so was the opposition as the Chicago Cubs last night fell to the San Francisco Giants, 2-1, in 11 innings at AT&T Park to start their two-city, seven-day, six-game West Coast swing through San Francisco (0-1) and San Diego leading up to the All-Star Break. Hendricks last night became only the second Cubs pitcher in the last 25 years to toss more than 8.0 innings without allowing an earned run and recording a nodecision, joining Jeff Samardzija on May 5, 2014 Samardzija allowed one unearned run in 9.0 innings in an eventual 3-1, 12-inning Cubs setback vs. the White Sox. Last night marked Chicago s 10th extra inning game this season (5-5) and already the third time the club has played extras in back-to-back affairs, joining March 30-31 in Miami and May 5-6 at St. Louis. The Cubs have already collected four wins in N.L. West ballparks this season after going 4-11 at the N.L. West a season ago. QUITE THE FEAT WITH THE BAT AND FEET: Javier Báez yesterday swiped his 17th stolen base of the season to join his 17 home runs to date he has become only the second player in franchise history to reach 17 in each category prior to the All-Star Break, joining outfielder Sammy Sosa with 27 homers and 18 stolen bases prior to the Break in 1996. Overall, Báez is only the fourth major leaguer to turn the trick in the last 10 seasons, joining Cleveland s Jose Ramirez (24 HR, 19 SB in 2018), the Dodgers Matt Kemp (22 HR, 27 SB in 2011) and Texas Ian Kinsler (20 HR, 18 SB in 2009). Additionally, Báez is just the fourth player ever to reach 20 doubles, 15 homers, five triples, 60 RBI and 15 stolen bases prior to the All-Star break he joins the Giants Willie Mays in 1960, the Rockies Carlos Gonzalez in 2013 and the Pirates Andrew McCutchen in 2014. Furthermore, Báez has become the first Cubs middle infielder to reach 17 homers before the All-Star Break since Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, who had 24 homers at the Break in 1990. Projected over 162 games, Báez is on pace to record 41 doubles, 31 homers, 31 stolen bases and 120 RBI this season. Q QUOTIENT: Cubs pitcher José Quintana tonight is scheduled to make his final start before the All-Star Break a year ago, Quintana joined the Cubs from the White Sox as part of a five-player trade during the All-Star Break on July 13.
