By Parker White
The Chicago Cubs (68-58) won a wild one against the San Francisco Giants (63-64) Wednesday night, as former MVP Kris Bryant came through with a clutch go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to capture the 12-11 victory. Chicago has already won the series and they'll go for the sweep this afternoon.

First pitch is scheduled for 2:20 p.m. ET at Wrigley Field. The game will be televised locally on NBC Sports Bay Area and WGN, as well as the MLB Network. You can also find a live stream of the game on the MLB Streams subreddit.
Giants Lineup
Following a brutal loss last night, Giants manager Bruce Bochy has decided start the same players but shuffle the deck. Mike Yastrzemski will remain in the leadoff spot, but it'll be catcher Buster Posey and left fielder Alex Dickerson rounding out the top third of the lineup.
Veteran first baseman Brandon Belt will move up to the fifth spot, while second baseman Scooter Gennett will move down and hit seventh in front of shortstop Brandon Crawford.
Right-hander Jeff Samardzija will toe the mound today. In 25 starts this season owns a 9-9 record with a 3.54 ERA, and he's been ever better lately, posting a 2.41 ERA over his last seven starts.
Cubs Lineup
In a surprising turn of events, Cubs manager Joe Maddon has decided to roll out the exact same lineup for Thursday's finale. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
Right-hander Kyle Hendricks will take the mound for Chicago. The right-hander is 8-9 with a 3.37 ERA in 23 starts this year. He's has upped his game lately, posting a 3.07 ERA over his last seven starts, including his last time out where he tossed seven innings of one-run ball against Pittsburgh.
