Luis González had a career-high 4 hits, while Donovan Walton and Joc Pederson teamed up to drive in the decisive runs in extra innings
PHILADELPHIA — After needing extra innings only three times in their first 46 games, the Giants played extra baseball Tuesday night for the second time in as many games with the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
“There was some real redemption,” manager Gabe Kapler said, but the kind he was talking about had to do with bouncing back from a strikeout the night before against the same pitcher, Andrew Bellatti. “There’s some mental toughness to be able to come back out in the same situation, channel that energy and have an excellent at-bat.”
Kapler made the bold decision to intentionally walk Bryce Harper in the bottom of the 11th, bringing the winning run to the plate. And it paid off, as José Álvarez got Roman Quinn swinging to end this marathon. With their third extra-innings win of the season, the Giants secured a series win over a team that has lost five straight and 12 of its last 16, defeating the Phillies in extra innings for the second straight night. San Francisco had lost nine of 14 coming into Philadelphia but pulled out its third straight game Tuesday night.
Thairo Estrada led off the fifth with his second single of the game. After being stranded on third base in the first inning, he would score the Giants’ first run after San Francisco loaded the bases on a single from Curt Casali, in the lineup at designated hitter, and a walk from Tommy La Stella.
