ICYMI: The SFGiants yet again pull off a late comeback and finish off the Padres on a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to extend their win streak to nine.
The Giants won their ninth straight and completed yet another comeback when Josh Hader walked Joc Pederson with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth. The 4-3 win got the Giants to nine games above .500 and allowed them to pick up a full game on the first-place Diamondbacks.
The latest winning rally started with a Luis Matos walk with one out in the ninth. After Patrick Bailey lined a single the other way, Melvin called for Hader. The Giants countered with Casey Schmitt, who had one walk all season entering this series but drew his second ninth-inning walk in two days. After a strikeout, Pederson also took a free pass, giving the Giants another win on a night when they trailed nearly the entire game.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
Fernando Tatis Jr. reached in his first three at-bats and hit a homer in the fifth that gave the Padres a 3-1 lead, but the Giants once again crept back in the late innings. They lead the Majors in runs from the seventh inning on, and they nearly broke the game open once it hit the seventh. A walk and two singles loaded the bases with no outs, but Manny Machado made an athletic play to turn two on a Patrick Bailey grounder to third. Machado stepped on the base and then made a perfect throw home for a second out. The Giants did manage a run, as Brandon Crawford bounced a single up the middle, and they would soon tie it.
Pederson had just one thing in mind as he strolled up in the bottom of the eighth, and when Nick Martinez grooved a cutter, Pederson hit a moonshot to right. The blast was his eighth of the season.
