The 28-year-old has now produced back-to-back quality starts after failing to generate any in his first 11 outings of the campaign. Over his last four starts, Kaprielian has compiled a 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 22.2 innings.

Chapman came into Tuesday's contest in the midst of an 0-for-16 stretch from the plate, but he went 5-for-7 with two homers and three RBI in the final two games of the series to snap out of the cold spell.
