Canning will need to hush Chapman when Angels host A"s
Griffin Canning will make the start for the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon when they play the Oakland A's in Anaheim, Calif., and if there is one hitter in the Oakland lineup Canning needs to be wary of, it's third baseman Matt Chapman.
Chapman has three hits in 10 career at-bats against Canning, but what makes him dangerous is the way he's been hitting recently, regardless of who's on the mound.
Despite an 0-for-3 game on Tuesday, Chapman is hitting .409 (9 for 22) with four homers, two doubles, one triple and 10 RBIs in his last five games.
