However, the Giants quickly responded, scoring four runs in the fifth inning with five consecutive hits off White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon, who ultimately allowed five runs and eight hits over six innings. Chapman’s homer in the sixth inning capped the Giants' scoring. The White Sox attempted a comeback in the eighth with a sacrifice fly from Miguel Vargas and an RBI single from Gavin Sheets, narrowing the score to 5-3. In roster news, Giants catcher Patrick Bailey was a late scratch due to tightness, while Thairo Estrada returned from injury.
