Matt Chapman Hits 18th Homer Of Season Monday
4 months agoSan Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman continued his strong offensive August in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Chapman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The 31-year-old obliterated a third-inning Patrick Corbin breaking ball deep into the left-field seats for his 18th long ball of the season. Chapman has already surpassed his HR total from last season and is batting .353 with three HR in 17 August at-bats. He has also cut his strikeout rate down to a respectable 23.9% and the Giants have started hitting better lately as a team, so he could be a fantasy catalyst for the month of August.
