<p>How about a walk-off inside-the-park home run to cap off your baseball viewing for the day?</p>
<p>That's exactly what the San Francisco Giants' Patrick Bailey did late into the night on Tuesday, July 8. With his team trailing the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Bailey hit a long drive off Phillies pitcher Jordan Romano that struck the brick wall in right-center field. The ball did a crazy carom off the asymmetrical outfield wall at Oracle Park and rolled down the warning track as Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh frantically gave chase.</p>
<p>Take a look at this thrilling finish:</p>
<p>A leadoff double by Casey Schmitt followed by a single by Wilmer Flores set the stage for Bailey's dramatic heroics, which delivered a 4-3 victory. The win was the Giants' fourth straight, lifting the team's record to 51-42, good for second in the NL West and just five games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have lost five straight.</p>
<p>Bailey's walk-off inside-the-parker was reminiscent of one hit by the Giants' Ángel Pagán in the same ballpark in 2013. Pagán hit his walk-off home run in the 10th inning against the Colorado Rockies. Pagán's batted ball took a similar trajectory as Bailey's hit, bouncing off the right-center field wall and rolling down the warning track as outfielders gave chase after the unexpected bounce.</p>
<p>The most recent walk-off inside-the-park home run happened on Aug. 19, 2016, when Cleveland's Tyler Naquin hit one against the Toronto Blue Jays.</p>
