Giants play worst tenth inning in the history of baseball

For the second night in a row, the San Francisco Giants overcame a 6-2 deficit against the San Diego Padres. This one actually started even worse, at 6-1.

But there would be no walk-off home run. There would be no celebration. There would only be a laughably disastrous tenth inning to swiftly undo what the team had spent a few innings building.

It was the Giants first foray into the new extra innings rule, in which a runner starts on second base.

It did not go well. I’m just going to walk you through it, batter by batter, so you can either relive the horrendous experience (if you watched the game), or know the horror we all sat through (if you didn’t).
