The Giants were down 3-1 in the 9th and it looked for all the world that the Phillies would even the series. Instead the Giants battled and got the first two guys on base. Next batter Patrick Bailey crushed the first pitch he saw to right-centerfield and that probably should have been a game-ending three-run home run. Instead, it hit the top of the wall and and took a crazy carom back onto the field! It shot past the outfielders into no-man's land and suddenly everyone was thinking triple and a tie game. But Bailey kept running as the outfielders kept chasing the ball and then it was an inside-the-park homer. A walk-off winner!
That's the craziest ending to a game this season and one of the craziest endings to a Giants game EVER. Heliot Ramos got a Little League homer last year to win a game, he should have been thrown out twice! That was crazy, but this was even crazier.
So, the Giants stink against bad teams but win against good teams. Go figure. Today's game is at 12:45 and Justin Verlander tries for a win and a sweep.
Go Giants!
