The team managed to win a series against Milwaukee over the weekend but has lost five consecutive home series.

On the pitching side, the Giants have been strong, boasting a 3.72 ERA, which ranks them fifth in the league.

Chicago Cubs Struggle on the Road as San Francisco Giants Show Improvement

The Chicago Cubs have faced challenges on the road recently, dropping three of their last four series. Conversely, the San Francisco Giants have shown improvement by winning against the Brewers last weekend and securing a home victory to begin this series. Although Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga has performed consistently, the team has struggled to secure wins in the majority of his recent starts. Giants pitcher Logan Webb's impressive performance has been a key factor, allowing zero or one run in four out of his last five starts. Webb has only given up six runs and one home run in his last 25.1 innings pitched, making him a formidable opponent in this matchup.
