SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patrick Bailey’s entrance into the Major League Baseball record books on Tuesday night began with a tight swing that sent a fastball from Phillies reliever Jordan Romano into Triples Alley.
It ended with Bailey chugging his way around third base then getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit a game-ending, inside-the-park home run.
The three-run shot had an exit velocity of 103.4 mph and bounced off the brick wall at the Giants waterfront ballpark.

The Liverpool forward, who shared his professional journey with passion and poise, died alongside his brother in a devastating car crash in Spain last week. Their sports car caught fire, ending two young lives far too soon.

The San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies with a long fly ball, a bad bounce and a catcher’s legs.
With one out and runners at the corners in the bottom of the ninth inning, Giants catcher Patrick Bailey hit a walk-off, three-run, inside-the-park homer in a 4-3 win. The ball looked like it would end the game the simpler way, flying over the wall in right-center, but the cavernous right-field dimensions of Oracle Park kept the ball in play.
The play wound up being much funnier.
