Giants' Patrick Bailey. Walk-off inside the park home run.

Catcher, no less. His second HR of the season.

Ryan Walker threw one pitch, got the W.

Win probability.

Here’s to footage of the bottom of the ninth.

Note: they had enough smarts to put in a pinch-runner for Wilmer Flores because both Flores and Bailey would have been tagged out rounding third (Wilmer is that slow!).

Awesome to see the entire inning unfold. I caught the first six on radio while driving home on 680 but missed the ending.

That was an instant home run in any other ballpark.

There's electricity in this roster. Magic Wandoo is resurfacing.

not very good. The ball Bailey hit took a crazy bounce away from the Phillies center fielder and allowed him to score.
First walk off inside the park home run by a catcher since 1926-99 years.
A good day to be a Giants fan

and only the third time a catcher has ever done so.

Bennie Tate, playing for the Washington Senators, did it in the 11th inning, August 11, 1926, against the Yankees, second game of a doubleheader. It was his only home run in 59 games that year.
