PITTSBURGH—Matt Chapman homered for the third straight game, this one a three-run drive that sparked a five-run, eighth-inning rally, and the San Francisco Giants spoiled a solid start by highly touted Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes by surging to a 7–6 win on Thursday.

Chapman went deep off Hunter Stratton (1–1), pinch hitter Wilmer Flores drove in the tying run with a single, and Brett Wisely delivered a go-ahead single off Aroldis Chapman as the Giants overcame a big deficit for the second time in less than 24 hours.
