VIDEO: Anthony Rizzo Puts Cubs on Top of Giants With 2-Out RBI Single
By Sean Facey
Still in a scoreless tie with the Giants in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Cubs managed to get the go-ahead run to third, albeit with two outs and two strikes on the batter. And just when it looked like the Cubs were about to squander a golden opportunity to drive in the game's first run, Anthony Rizzo lined a ball up the middle to drive in Jason Heyward.

The line drive fell in right in front of centerfielder Kevin Pillar, giving Rizzo his 81st RBI of the year and Chicago a 1-0 lead.
With ace Kyle Hendricks dealing on the bump, that lone run at least gives him and whoever ends up relieving him something to work with.
