The San Francisco Giants overcame an eight-run deficit to defeat the Washington Nationals 11-10 on Wednesday afternoon at Oracle Park. Rookie Bryce Eldridge delivered the decisive blow with a walk-off grand slam.
The Giants trailed 10-6 entering the bottom of the ninth inning. Matt Chapman started the rally with an RBI double, finishing the game 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBIs. Rafael Devers walked and Jung Hoo Lee singled to load the bases for Eldridge. He then hit a 2-0 slider from Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker over the right-field wall for the win. Eldridge's first career grand slam made him the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam at 21 years and 233 days old. The Giants became the first team since 2009 to win after trailing by eight or more runs entering the eighth inning.
