Bailey hits inside-the-park, walk-off homer, lifts Giants

Patrick Bailey bounced a three-run, inside-the-park home run high off the right-field wall with one out in the last of the ninth inning on Tuesday night, delivering the San Francisco Giants a 4-3 walk-off victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.

A two-run home run by Kyle Schwarber had given the Phillies a 3-1 lead in the seventh, an advantage the Philadelphia bullpen carried into the ninth.

Closer Jordan Romano (1-4), who had entered the game with one out in the eighth, immediately got himself into a jam in the ninth when Casey Schmitt opened with a double. One out later, Wilmer Flores singled to centre, setting the stage for Bailey, whose blast hit near the top of the 24-foot brick wall and caromed along the warning track towards left field, rolling past centre fielder Brandon Marsh in the process.

The catcher easily circled the bases to complete the Giants' ninth walk-off win of the season and give San Francisco a fourth straight victory. Ryan Walker (2-3), who needed just one pitch to get the final out in the top of the ninth, was credited with the win.
