Pence went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs.
Analysis:
The veteran slugger's seventh-inning blast allowed the Giants to avoid a shutout and marked his second round-tripper in as many games. Pence has a modest four-game hitting streak and has started September off with three hits, two runs, two homers and three RBI over his first seven at-bats.
