This probe followed referrals from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary and a force in the south west of England, we reviewed messages shared within the group and identified a significant number of those messages to be of a discriminatory, derogatory or pornographic nature.
The officers - five working with the CNC, one former CNC officer now working for another force and one former CNC officer - have been informed they are being criminally investigated for offences under section 127 of the Communications Act, sending grossly offensive messages.
"Once you've done it, it gives you confidence you can do it. You're always in the game," manager Bruce Bochy said. "That usually is what has to happen, you have to do it once or twice, then the confidence grows in there and they know, hey, we can come back against any deficit, and against good pitching. That's a mindset that can be changed with a little success."
RHP Yu Darvish (3-4, 4.46 ERA) pitches for Chicago in his second career start vs. San Francisco, having worked six scoreless innings in each of his past two outings. The Giants send LHP Madison Bumgarner (5-7, 3.65) to the mound with his future on the club still uncertain ahead of the trade deadline next week. Bumgarner went nine innings in last Thursday's 16-inning win against the Mets.
Can't beat the Siemens!
The Giants stranded the potential tying run at third in the fifth. Kyle Ryan relieved Cubs starter Alec Mills - still seeking his first career victory in 12 total appearances and four starts dating to 2016 - with one out and induced Pablo Sandoval's inning-ending double play after Mike Yastrzemski's RBI single. San Francisco missed another chance in the seventh.
Giants: 3B Evan Longoria took grounders balls for the first time as he works back from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He also is doing one-arm drills throwing and playing catch. ... LF Alex Dickerson (back tightness) was available off the bench with the hopes he will be back in the starting lineup Tuesday night. ... Bochy planned to stay away from closer Will Smith after he pitched six of the previous 10 days, so Dyson filled those duties in the ninth.
Drew Pomeranz pitched two perfect innings with four strikeouts in relief for the Giants, then Trevor Gott (7-0) worked the eighth. Sam Dyson finished for his second save, but issued a two-out walk and Addison Russell's single to make it interesting until the final out. Schwarber popped up to end it.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The fog machine, strobe lights and blaring music in the clubhouse tell the story of San Francisco's winning midseason vibe after all those months of losing when contending seemed so far out of the question.
Garcia splashed a home run into McCovey Cove beyond the right field arcade in the second for the Cubs' first hit. It marked the 48th splash hit by a Giants opponent and 126th overall, with home run king Barry Bonds accounting for 35 of those.
"When you're playing for the playoff race, every 90 feet matters, every game matters," Panik said. "We're playing our best baseball right now. There's something about this team. We're a collective group. It's not just one guy doing it all."

Cubs: LHP Cole Hamels is scheduled to make a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Iowa at San Antonio and will throw up to 45-50 pitches. He has been sidelined by a strained left oblique muscle. "It really is important to find out how Cole comes out of it, how he feels after he throws," Maddon said. ... C Willson Contreras (sprained right foot) will be activated and available for Wednesday afternoon's series finale, perhaps to start behind the plate catching lefty Jon Lester. Contreras worked from the crouch and stood to throw to the bases during warmup drills. ... The Cubs recalled RHP Rowan Wick from Iowa and optioned RHP Carl Edwards Jr. to Triple-A.
