Giants' Bailey Hits MLB's 1st Walk-Off, Inside-the-Park HR Since 2016

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 9 – Patrick Bailey's inside-the-park home run capped a comeback from a 3-1 deficit, securing a 4-3 victory for the Giants over the Phillies at Oracle Park, MLB reported.

  • On Tuesday night at Oracle Park, Patrick Bailey hit a three-run, walk-off inside-the-park home run that secured a 4-3 win for the San Francisco Giants over the Philadelphia Phillies.
  • This rare achievement occurred when Bailey connected with a 103.4 mph pitch delivered by Phillies reliever Jordan Romano, marking the first walk-off inside-the-park home run in MLB since 2016 and making Bailey only the third catcher ever to accomplish this feat.
  • Bailey recorded two hits in three at-bats, drove in three runs, crossed the plate once, and threw out a runner attempting to steal third base, helping the Giants notch their sixth victory in seven games and extend their winning streak to four. His batting average also rose from.188 to.194.
  • Bailey told NBC Sports Bay Area that he had never exerted himself so intensely for such an extended period. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, mentioned feeling exhausted after the play, and admitted he wished the ball had cleared the fence.
  • The Giants climbed to second place in the NL West, trailing the Dodgers by five games, and will face the Phillies once more on Wednesday afternoon at Oracle Park to conclude the series.
