Matt Chapman just had the greatest Giants offensive performance in years. And nobody saw it coming. 🔥⚾

June 5 — Giants 18, Cubs 3. Wrigley Field.

Chapman stepped in the 4th inning with the bases loaded off Edward Cabrera — and launched his fourth career grand slam. Six-run inning. Game over before anyone knew what hit them.

But he wasn't done.

6th inning. Chapman up again. Three-run homer. Second homer of the game. Career-high 8 RBI on the night. The Giants' sixth grand slam in just the last three weeks — tying the San Francisco-era record.

The Rest of the Lineup Didn't Let Up Either

Willy Adames? Two home runs, 4 RBI. First one off Cabrera in the 1st to put SF up 2-0 right away. Second one to center in the 6th to extend the lead to 13-3. Casey Schmitt? Also two home runs, 3 RBI, 4 hits. Jonah Cox added a solo shot — his first career homer, off Cubs catcher Carson Kelly. SEVEN home runs total. 19 hits.

The Cubs threw six pitchers to survive the afternoon. Including Carson Kelly who pitched the 9th inning. That tells you everything. 😂
