Chapman got the Giants off to a nice start with a two-run blast off Kyle Hendricks in the first. The 31-year-old third baseman has homered four times while driving in 14 runs over the first 20 games; putting him at over a 100-RBI pace. Chapman has been known for his ups and downs as a hitter, but an .865 OPS over his first 72 at-bats would count more towards the former than the latter.

Chapman got the Giants on the board first with an RBI single off of Cristopher Sanchez in the opening inning. He then tagged him for a 372-foot (100.6 mph EV) two-run shot in the sixth inning that pulled the Giants to within two runs at 5-3. That would be as close as they would get. With his two-hit attack, the 31-year-old third baseman is now hitting .239/.386/.418 with three homers, 12 RBI and two stolen bases through his first 19 games.

Chapman gave the Giants a five-run cushion with a two-run single in the ninth. He also drew a pair of walks. Chapman was spectacular this spring, and so far it’s carried over into the games that actually count.
