SF Giants Win Thriller Behind Thairo Estrada's Dramatic 9th-Inning HR

In perhaps the San Francisco Giants' most dramatic win of the season, Thairo Estrada blasted a go-ahead, three-run home run in the ninth inning with the Giants down by two runs. The SF Giants and Cubs exchanged blows late in the game, but the Giants ultimately prevailed thanks to Estrada's blast.

The Giants also exhibited strong defense (and more offensive pyrotechnics) earlier in the game. Michael Conforto and Mike Yastrzemski had big outfield assists, and Heliot Ramos and Patrick Bailey hit homers. The Giants needed all the offense they could muster on a night when the home plate umpire had perhaps the worst performance by a home-plate umpire all season.

In the bottom of the ninth, with the SF Giants clinging to a one-run lead, Camilo Doval was summoned to preserve the lead after having several shaky outings recently, including one the previous day. Doval got the benefit of a very generous 2-0 pitch to the leadoff batter and rebounded to have a 1-2-3 ninth to secure a huge win for the Giants.
