Michael Busch singles in 10th, Cubs benefit from Giants error to beat San Francisco 3-2

CHICAGO (AP) — Michael Busch singled to right in the 10th inning, allowing automatic runner Dansby Swanson to advance from second and score on an error, and the Chicago Cubs edged the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Saturday.

Leading off the 10th, Busch grounded the ball to right off Sam Hentges' 2-2 slider. Victor Bericoto charged the ball but couldn't come up with it and was charged with an error. That allowed Swanson — who was slowing at third — to continue home.

The Cubs won for only the seventh time in their last 26 games.

Pete Crow-Armstrong's second solo shot of the game, with two outs in the ninth off Keaton Winn, tied it at 2-2.

The Cubs center fielder added two singles on a 4 for 5 afternoon to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. Crow-Armstrong, who made a nifty sliding catch in the sixth, has 11 home runs.

Ryan Rolison (5-1) worked around a walk, pitching a scoreless 10th for the win. Hentges (1-1), who entered in the 10th, took the loss.

Rafael Devers cracked a solo shot in the sixth and Matt Chapman hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in top of the ninth to put the Giants ahead 2-1, but their three game-win streak ended.

Both starters, Chicago's Ben Brown and San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, were sharp.

Brown allowed no runs and one hit while striking out five, walking one and hitting a batter in 5 1/3 innings. Brown exited after a season-high 87 pitches in his sixth start since joining Chicago’s rotation on May 8.

Roupp gave up one run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking three.

The Cubs left slumping shortstop Swanson out of their starting lineup, but he entered as a pinch automatic runner in the 10th. The two-time Gold Glove winner entered the game batting just .180.

Crow-Armstrong hit first solo shot in the sixth, hammering Roupp's high sinker deep to right to tie it at 1-1.

Giants RHP Trevor McDonald (2-3, 4.50 ERA) faces Cubs RHP Jameson Taillon (2-5, 5.13) on Sunday night.

NEW CHANDIGARH, India (AP) — Afghanistan hit back with three wickets in the opening session of Day 2 but India remains in control at 475-6 in its first innings in a one-off cricket test.

Mohammad Saleem added two more wickets to his tally as India added another 107 for the loss of three wickets in the first session Sunday at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.

After joining Lokesh Rahul (100) with a century of his own on Day 1, Indian skipper Shubman Gill could only add another 23 runs before he was caught behind off Saleem (4-109) for 126, with 15 fours and a six.

Gill and Rishabh Pant put on 169 runs for the fourth wicket to seize control for the hosts.

Pant then added a quick-fire 36 runs with Dhruv Jurel before the set duo was out in the space of six deliveries – Saleem bowled Jurel (19) to get his fourth, while Pant was caught at the boundary off Hashmatullah Shahidi for 8

Washington Sundar was 14 not out and debutant Manav Suthar was on nine at the break.

It is only the second test between the teams – India had hosted Afghanistan’s inaugural test in Bengaluru and the home side won by an innings and 262 runs.

On Day 1, India had won the toss and opted to bat, finishing the day at 368-3.
