Giants Struggle at Home, Rookie Streaks Shine

Giants stumble again, crushed 6-1 by the Cubs in a game defined by a jaw-dropping defensive lapse that let Ian Happ score from third without even sliding — exposing deeper issues on the field. Two straight losing homestands now, with Oracle Park’s recent stretch especially brutal since May. But there’s light: rookie Bryce Eldridge’s 19-game on-base streak is the longest by a rookie this season — matching Matt Duffy’s 2015 feat — and Luis Arraez keeps his 13-game hitting streak alive. Pitching woes hit hard too, with Trevor McDonald’s short, rough outing (4 runs in under 4 innings) and a brutal 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. The team’s trying to avoid their sixth sweep this season, with Logan Webb on the mound — and he’s been electric lately, striking out batters and limiting runs.
