Matt Chapman joined some select San Francisco baseball company — including Willie Mays — with his massive day at the plate on Friday.

Adames gave the Giants a 2-0 lead in the top of the first with his farthest-hit ball of the season, turning a 99.5 mph four-seam fastball from the Cubs’ Edward Cabrera into a 427-foot two-run home run that registered at 107.0 mph off the bat.
