Matt Chapman has Monster Two-Homer, Eight-RBI Game Against Cubs
San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman had a day to remember at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field on Friday in an 18-3 drubbing of the Chicago Cubs. Chapman finished the day 2-for-3 at the plate with two home runs, eight RBI, and one strikeout to boost his batting average to .241 on the year and his OPS to .684. The 33-year-old has not had the best season offensively, but in just one day, he doubled his home run total. Chapman hit a grand slam off Cubs starter Edward Cabrera in the fourth inning, added a three-run blast in the sixth frame off reliever Ethan Roberts, and tacked on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. In addition to Chapman, both Casey Schmitt and Willy Adames left the yard two times apiece, marking just the third time in Giants history that three different players had two homers each. Chapman could be turning things around at the plate after a slow start in the first two months, as he's hit .310 (18-for-58) with three home runs and five doubles in his last 16 games. He's only rostered in 68% of Yahoo leagues, but his buy-low window could be closing fast.
