Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Xavier Nady hit a three-run double and Tim Lincecum tossed 6 1/3 solid innings, as the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-2, in the middle contest of a three-game series.

Nady made his Giants debut Saturday after having his contract purchased from Triple-A Fresno prior to the game. Hector Sanchez and Marco Scutaro added an RBI apiece for the victors.

Lincecum (8-14) gave up two runs on four hits for the Giants, who bounced back from a 6-4 loss in the series opener on Friday. He struck out seven and walked three.

David DeJesus hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who had just five hits. Justin Germano (2-5) allowed five runs on six hits over five innings.
