Standing on third base as the tying run with an out in the 8th, Heliot Ramos appeared primed to single-handedly pull the San Francisco Giants out of the mire.
After another day with an absent offense, Ramos was responsible for all three of the team’s hits on the day. His 2nd inning solo shot off Joe Ryan was San Francisco’s lone run of the game so far, and what felt like the only ball in play not popped up to an infielder.
His lead-off double high off the right-center wall set up San Francisco’s first at-bat with a runner in scoring position 17 innings into the series, and just the second time they had the lead-off runner on base (ironically, also Heliot Ramos and also in the 8th inning).
