SAN FRANCISCO—Matt Chapman hit a grand slam in the first inning to lead the struggling San Francisco Giants to a 5–1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.

The Giants had lost eight of 11 games coming into the contest and were averaging less than three runs over their last 15 before Chapman provided more than that with one big swing in the first against Nick Lodolo (3–2).
