Recap

Player of the gameMatt ChapmanSFG2/3 2hr 8rbi

Suddenly, the Giants appear to have found their power stroke. San Francisco crushed a season-high seven home runs -- including two apiece from Willy Adames, Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt \-\- to cruise to a commanding 18-3 win over the Cubs in Friday afternoon’s series opener at Wrigley Field. This is the third time in Giants history that they've had three players with multiple homers in the same game, joining Damon Minor, Reggie Sanders and Tsuyoshi Shinjo (July 2, 2002) and Willie Mays, Daryl Spencer and Wes Westrum (July 8, 1956). San Francisco (26-38) has now reeled off three straight victories, matching its longest win streak of the season. The Giants pounded out 19 hits on Friday and have combined for 30 runs over their last two games, their most over a two-game span since a doubleheader on April 30, 1944. “Obviously, we kind of didn’t have many guys swinging the bat early \[in the season\
