CHICAGO - Pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Travis Wood produced on the mound and at the plate on Saturday to propel the Chicago Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants and a commanding lead in their Major League Baseball playoff series. Aroldis Chapman retired three straight Giants in the ninth, striking out two for his second save in as many games. Before departing, Hendricks delivered a two-run single to spark the Cubs' three-run second inning. The winners of the series will face either the Washington Nationals or Los Angeles Dodgers for a World Series berth. The teams will travel after the contest and play game three as scheduled on Monday in Los Angeles.
