Chaparro went a combined 4-for-9 with a home run and three RBI across both games of a doubleheader sweep versus the Pirates on Saturday. Chaparro went a quiet 1-for-4 in the opener but was a big producer in the nightcap. He plated Washington's first run in Game 2 with a third-inning single and then tied the score in the seventh frame with a two-run blast to left field. Chaparro has three homers and nine RBI over his past seven contests.
