Giants Raise Rally Flag, Beat Chicago, 5-3
The Tampa Bay Giants took Chicago pitcher Will Inman's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Wrigley Field. The final score had Tampa Bay getting past the Cubs, 5-3. Inman went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 9. Byeong-Hak An, now 5-2, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 0. Dustin Lansford finished to wrap up his 17th save.

Tampa Bay used the clutch hitting of Marcos Munoz to capture the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a big one.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Munoz said (again).

The loss makes Chicago 53-49.
