Short on Stops | Giants 5, Cubs 4

The ninth inning was the perfect representation of the Giants' sudden and complicated roster situation.

Brandon Crawford is hurt. So is Thairo Estrada, who exited Saturday's game after getting hit in the head. That left Jason Vosler, who hadn't played shortstop at any level in seven years, to hold it down.

He, uh, tried.

The Cubs hit three double play balls in the ninth. None of them turned into double plays. The Giants need a shortstop.

The two likeliest options in the minors—Donovan Walton and Will Wilson—are hurt. Isan Diaz? Come on down. So it goes in 2022.
