Forgive me if you’ve heard this before: Down in the early goings to a division rival, frustrated by a dominant outing from an opposing starting pitcher, a slow-but-patient team comeback aided by stellar relief performance, a backs-against-the wall rally in the late-innings punctuated by a crooked number in extras.
The San Francisco Giants once again orchestrated a comeback win to claim their 8th win a row, this one a 7-4 walk-off against the San Diego Padres. The final knock a buoyant 10th inning 3-run homer by Mike Yastrzemski that splashed down in the Bay, reminiscent of another clutch blast less than a week ago.
