With his team trailing the visitingPhiladelphia Phillies3-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Bailey hit a long drive offPhilliespitcher Jordan Romano that struck the brick wall in right-center field. The ball did a crazy carom off the asymmetrical outfield wall at Oracle Park and rolled down the warning track as Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh frantically gave chase. Take a look at this thrilling finish: A leadoff double by Casey Schmitt followed by a single by Wilmer Flores set the stage for Bailey's dramatic heroics, which delivereda 4-3 victory. The win was the Giants' fourth straight, lifting the team's record to 51-42, good forsecond in the NL Westand just five games back of theLos Angeles Dodgers, who have lost five straight.
