The San Francisco slugger’s historic night joins Willie Mays in Giants lore as the offense erupts against the Chicago Cubs

A Night of Power in Chicago

The San Francisco Giants exploded for 19 hits and 18 runs in a dominant win over the Chicago Cubs, turning a routine matchup into a showcase of offensive firepower.

Matt Chapman was the centerpiece, tying the franchise record with eight runs batted in and delivering a grand slam, a 432‑foot three‑run homer and a sacrifice fly that together accounted for a massive inning.

His heroics placed him alongside legends such as Willie Mays, who had previously shared the eight‑RBI mark, cementing Chapman’s performance as a modern echo of Giants greatness.

The onslaught was not limited to Chapman; Willy Adames and Casey Schmitt each added two homers, contributing to a 19‑hit attack that included six grand slams over the past 18 games.

Chapman also extended his personal milestone, homering in every major league ballpark and raising his season totals to four homers and 31 RBIs with a .241 average.

The victory marked the Giants’ third straight win and underscored a resurgence that could shape their playoff push.
