The San Francisco Giants etched their name into history Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, erupting for a record-setting nine-run 11th inning to rout the Cubs 14-5. With the game tied late, San Francisco delivered its most explosive frame of the season, shattering the previous Wrigley Field record for the most runs scored in extra innings. The offensive surge began when Patrick Bailey lined a go-ahead RBI single to center, scoring Christian Koss. Bailey's knock unleashed a cascade of hits – Jung Ho Lee followed with a run-scoring single, and Matt Chapman drove in two more with a liner to left. Lee also launched a two-run homer earlier in the contest, putting the exclamation point on a multi-hit

Justin Verlander was in position for his first win with the San Francisco Giants — but he walked away empty-handed. Verlander pitched five innings Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs before giving a 5-3 lead to San Francisco's bullpen.

The Giants signed Willy Adames to a franchise-record contract with the hope that he could impact the game on both sides of the ball.

Prior to Tuesday's game, Adames spoke at length with reporters about his defensive struggles.
