Matt Chapman made a significant impact in the San Francisco Giants' 9-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals, hitting two home runs in his first game back after the birth of his daughter, Gia. This performance brought him to 26 home runs for the season, demonstrating his power despite a batting average of .249. The Giants, who have now won four of their last five games, also saw LaMonte Wade Jr. hit two home runs, contributing to a total of five homers in the game. Rookie pitcher Landen Roupp earned his first MLB win after five scoreless innings, showcasing the Giants' strong recent form despite their disappointing season overall. Chapman's ability to perform after paternity leave adds to the narrative of 'dad strength' in baseball, as he joins a select group of players who have homered in their return. Chapman's success this year has earned him a six-year, $151 million contract extension. The Royals, on the other hand, continue to struggle, having lost six consecutive games and 15 of their last 22.
