Weekend BP: Soaking in a perfect Opening Day
The San Francisco Giants opened the season in dramatic fashion on Friday night, beating the Miami Marlins 6-5 in 10 innings. The game featured everything, including (but not limited to) a ninth-inning blown leading, a ninth-inning comeback, and a walk-off play at the plate.
You probably have seen the highlights a million times by now, like Brandon Belt’s boat arrival and offensive greatness, Joey Bart’s towering first-career dinger, Thairo Estrada’s game-tying home run, Logan Webb’s brilliance, and Darin Ruf’s first-to-home chug on Austin Slater’s walk-off double.
