The Giants didn’t just win—they dominated. Their bats came alive against the Chicago Cubs, smashing home runs and piling up hits in a way that left the Cubs reeling.
Giants Unleash an Offensive Barrage
People in Mill Valley and Novato are still buzzing about the Giants’ offensive explosion. With an 18-3 win over the Cubs, the Giants racked up 19 hits.
That kind of hitting is rare. They’d just put up 20 hits in their previous game, which is pretty wild to witness.
The Giants set the tone early, jumping out to an eight-run lead before the Cubs could react.
Chapman’s Career Night Steals the Show
Matt Chapman was at the center of it all, driving in a career-high eight RBIs. That’s a night he—and the fans—won’t forget.
Chapman crushed a grand slam in the fourth inning. You could almost hear the cheers echoing from Oracle Park all the way to living rooms in Sausalito.
He wasn’t done, either. In the sixth, Chapman launched a three-run homer that just about sealed his spot as the star of the night.
A Symphony of Home Runs
Chapman’s big night was awesome, but he wasn’t alone. The Giants flexed their power all through the lineup.
It’s the kind of game Marin County fans live for—one hit after another, balls flying over the fence, and the scoreboard lighting up.
Supporting Stars Light Up the Scoreboard
Other Giants stepped up too. Willy Adames was a real force, blasting two home runs.
He kicked things off with a 427-foot solo shot, then added another homer in the sixth. Not bad at all.
Casey Schmitt had himself a night as well, finishing with four hits. He belted his second homer of the game, and that’s his 15th of the season—leading the team.
Even Jonah Cox joined the party, picking up three hits and a solo homer that probably had fans from Tiburon to Corte Madera grinning.
Pitching Prowess and Historic Feats
The offense got most of the headlines, but the pitching deserves some love. Robbie Ray (4-6) started for the Giants and allowed just two hits and no runs over five innings.
He walked five, which isn’t ideal, but kept the Cubs off the board with some gritty pitching. That’s the kind of resilience you want from your starter.
The bullpen held things together too, limiting the Cubs to just three runs. It felt like a complete team win.
A Record-Breaking Home Run Pace
The Giants’ power surge hit a new level with this win. They’ve now launched six grand slams in about three weeks, making them just the sixth team in MLB history to pull that off in 20 days or less.
If you’re a baseball fan in Fairfax or Larkspur, you’re probably still shaking your head at how fun this stretch has been. It’s not every year you see a run like this.
Looking Ahead: Continued Rivalry and Next Matchup
The Chicago Cubs just can’t seem to catch a break. This loss bumped their rough patch up to 19 defeats in their last 25 games.
They’ll face the Giants again on Saturday. It should be another fun matchup—at least, that’s the hope.
The Giants plan to start RHP Landen Roupp (5-6, 4.22 ERA). The Cubs will send out RHP Ben Brown (2-2, 1.92).
Baseball fans all over Marin County, from Petaluma to San Anselmo, are probably already looking forward to this next game. Who knows what’ll happen?
