Giants' Matt Chapman Hits Grand Slam, Defeats Rockies 6-3

Matt Chapman powered the San Francisco Giants to a 6-3 comeback victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday with a dramatic sixth-inning grand slam, his third career grand slam and second home run in as many days. The Giants trailed 3-1 after starter Jordan Hicks lost his lead in the sixth, but a rally sparked by Jung Hoo Lee's RBI single set the stage for Chapman's 402-foot blast off Rockies reliever Jake Bird. The Giants bullpen combined for four innings of shutout relief, with Randy Rodriguez earning the win and Ryan Walker recording his sixth save. Chapman's performance continues a recent power surge, bringing his season homer total to seven, which ranks among the National League leaders. Rockies starter Bradley Blalock, making a spot start for the injured Ryan Feltner, allowed three runs over 5 1/3 innings. The victory ensures the Giants avoid an upset against the struggling Rockies and keeps their momentum going after a stretch of low-scoring games.
