Overview

  • Patrick Bailey’s 103.4 mph liner off Jordan Romano caromed off the right-center brick wall and rolled to the warning track for a three-run inside-the-park homer that sealed a 4-3 victory.
  • The homer was San Francisco’s first walk-off inside-the-park since Angel Pagán in 2013 and the first in Major League Baseball since Tyler Naquin in 2016.
  • The bottom-of-the-ninth rally was sparked by Casey Schmitt’s leadoff double and Wilmer Flores’ single, putting two runners in scoring position with one out.
  • Earlier in the game, Kyle Schwarber’s two-run blast into McCovey Cove gave Philadelphia a 3-1 lead before Robbie Ray held the Phillies to one run over 5⅔ innings.
  • With their sixth win in seven games, the Giants have nine walk-off victories this season and carry momentum into the All-Star break.
