Giants’ rally makes tough replay call a moot point

SAN FRANCISCO — Had Conor Gillaspie not later recast himself in the role of hero, belting a two-run triple off unhittable Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman, a moment in Monday night’s sixth inning at AT&T Park would have stuck with the Giants throughout the offseason.

With the Cubs up by a run in the sixth inning and the Giants searching for offense and facing elimination from the postseason, a controversial replay result at first base went against San Francisco. It wound up being a moot point, followed by about a dozen other twists and turns in a 6-5 Giants win that extended the National League Division Series to Game 4 on Tuesday night, live on FS1 at 8:30 ET/5:30 CT. But it could have been a turning point in the Giants’ must-win Game 3.
