MILWAUKEE -- The Giants were thrilled to slot Matt Chapman back in at third base on Saturday, but his return from the injured list had ancillary benefits for the rest of the infield, as well.
With Chapman manning the hot corner, the Giants shifted another talented defender -- Casey Schmitt -- over to second base, upgrading the defense across the board.
Schmitt has toggled between first, second and third base this year, but he should have a chance to stick at the keystone for the rest of the season, which could help him find stability on both sides of the ball. That certainly seemed to be the case on Saturday night, when he went 2-for-4 with four RBIs to propel the Giants to a 7-1 win over the MLB-best Brewers at American Family Field.
Schmitt tied the game, 1-1, with an RBI double
