This was never supposed to happen. And that's what makes it so beautiful.

June 10 — Giants 11, Nationals 10. Oracle Park.

Trailing 9-1 after seven innings, the Giants had every reason to pack it in. The Nationals were four outs away from a sweep. The crowd was heading for the exits.

Then Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers hit back-to-back home runs to open the 8th. Five runs in the 8th. Still down. Five more needed in the 9th.

Bryce Eldridge stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded and Mitchell Parker on the mound.

Grand slam. Walk-off. Game over. 11-10.

The Comeback

After seven innings the Giants were down 9-1. Then the impossible began. Five runs in the 8th inning. Five more in the 9th. 10 runs in the final two innings combined.

Matt Chapman finished 4-for-5 with two home runs and 3 RBI — the anchor of the entire rally. Jung Hoo Lee extended his hitting streak to 18 games, the longest active streak in all of MLB.

Youngest in MLB HISTORY
Bryce Eldridge, 21 years old, became the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam — breaking a record held by Roberto Clemente since 1956.
4 RBI
Bryce Eldridge's walk-off grand slam with the bases loaded. His fourth RBI of the night. Mitchell Parker took the loss — 0.0 IP, 2H, 2R in the 9th.
0.7%
Giants playoff odds entering the night. The numbers said it was over. The game said otherwise. Nationals were at 28.3%.
10 Runs in 2 Innings
5 runs in the 8th. 5 runs in the 9th. The Giants scored more runs in the final two innings than they had all game. San Francisco trailed 9-1 after seven.

Record Book, Rewritten

Bryce Eldridge — 21 years old, called up from the minors just weeks earlier — stepped in with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. He hit the 11th pitch he saw for a home run. A walk-off grand slam. The youngest player ever to do it in MLB history.

He's so young he teared up learning the stat afterward. "I think about it every day... I want to be the face of this franchise," Eldridge said.
