SAN FRANCISCO — Wednesday notes: • NO FUN BY THE BAY: In 2013-17, the Cubs won the first game of five straight series at San Francisco. Last night’s opening loss was their sixth in their last seven visits. The only win was two years ago. After losing the opener, they won the second game in 2018 and 2022, and lost it in 2019, 2021 and last year.

He’s faced 42 batters and allowed 10 baserunners (seven hits, three walks) and struck out seven over that span. • PCA UPDATE: Despite his recent slump, Pete Crow-Armstrong still leads the National League in bWAR (6.5) and doubles (34). • THIS DAY IN CUBS HISTORY: Brant Brown’s three-run homer
