Giants Beat Marlins 3-1 Behind Chapman

In a thrilling game, Matt Chapman delivered a bases-clearing double in the eighth inning, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Miami Marlins. The Giants had been trailing 1-0, with only one scoring opportunity until Chapman's clutch hit with two outs, which followed a tough at-bat against Marlins reliever George Soriano. Blake Snell pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out eight, maintaining his impressive performance since the All-Star break. The game was a tightly contested pitchers' duel, with Marlins starter Adam Oller also excelling, striking out eight in six scoreless innings. With this win, the Giants improved their record to 68-68 but remain 6.5 games out of a playoff spot. Miami's only run came from an RBI single by David Hensley in the seventh inning, while Chapman’s double ultimately decided the game.
