Giants walk off Padres in 10th on Mike Yastrzemski's 3-run home run
But with the benefit of facing a short-handed Padres bullpen, the Giants scored twice in the ninth inning and won 7-4 in the 10th inning on Mike Yastrzemski’s walk-off home run against Ray Kerr.
Garcia walked pinch-hitter Blake Sabol on four pitches to start the bottom of the ninth. Yastrzemski moved Sabol to third with a single, and both moved up on a wild pitch. That made it 4-3. Carlton followed with walks of David Villar and Casey Schmitt, which prompted Melvin to replace him with Kerr, who struck out Joc Perderson.
Sabol moved the runners with a sacrifice bunt before Yastrzemski launched a 3-1 pitch over the right field wall for his second homer of the night. The Padres arrived in the Bay Area having won 15 of their 25 games since May 21. With Sunday’s victory over the Rays, the team with MLB’s best record, the Padres secured their third straight series victory.Still, the Padres have felt for some time that it was time for them to leave behind the inconsistency that has plagued them.The Padres got right after Ryan Walker, the right-hander who served as the Giants’ opener in a bullpen game.
