San Francisco Giants vs. Cincinnati Reds
In a much-needed victory for the struggling San Francisco Giants, Matt Chapman’s grand slam in the first inning set the tone for the game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Following Chapman’s heroics, pitcher Mason Black made his home debut by limiting the Reds to just one run in 4 1/3 innings.
