Giants' Matt Chapman sets career high in win over Cubs

It's not often a baseball player does enough to win a game all on his own, but that's exactly what happened on Friday night when the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs to the tune of 18-3. 

Clubbing two home runs, Giants' third baseman Matt Chapman had the game of his life in extending San Francisco's win streak to three games and securing the series opener against the Cubs. Chapman's two-homer game led to a career-high in RBIs with eight, a rare achievement for anyone throughout Major League Baseball history.

Now among a group of only 121 players to ever drive home eight runs in a single game, Chapman went 2-for-3 on the day. He first went yard in the top of the fourth inning, sending a grand slam into Wrigley Field's ivy in left center field. 

Chapman hit his second home run of the game in his next at-bat in the sixth, making that one a three-run shot.

His eight-RBI performance marks the most for any MLB player this season and exceeds his previous single-game best of seven.
