  • Matt Chapman’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday marked his first walk-off blast for San Francisco and the team’s eighth of the season.
  • San Francisco has set a franchise record by playing six consecutive one-run games, reflecting a string of closely contested outcomes.
  • Starting pitchers Logan Webb (10 strikeouts over six innings on Saturday) and Landen Roupp (six innings and three earned runs on Sunday) have anchored the rotation during the streak.
