In one of the strangest games of the season, the San Francisco Giants saw their brief two-game winning streak come to an embarrassing end.

After a four hour 34 minute delay, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Giants 2-0 in a game that was called after four and a half innings.

The game was called due to a malfunction with the tarp at the 100-year ballpark on the North Side of Chicago.

Ryan Vogelsong pitched an outstanding game despite the fact that he took the loss on this mist bizarre night at Wrigley Field.

Vogelsong gave up a two-run home run to Anthony Rizzo in the bottom of the first inning, a home run that scored accounted for all the runs needed.

On the evening, Vogelsong went four innings, allowing two runs on three hits, walking two and striking out four.

Tsuyoshi Wada pitched five innings to get the win, as he did not allow a run on six hits, nit walking a batter and striking out three.

It was the 29th home run of the season for Rizzo, who drove in Javier Baez, who walked just prior to Rizzo’s home run off of Vogelsong.
