San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan delivered a walk-off inside the park home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Giants a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Pagan was thinking triple when he first hit the ball.
“I was thinking at least three. I was watching the ball and it didn’t bounce too far from him,” Pagan said. “I’m thinking three but looking at the coach. He gives me the OK and I’m going for it.”
This was not the first time that Colorado had been victimized by an inside the park home run in walkoff fashion. Rey Sanchez in June 2004 accomplished the feat against the Rockies that was also 10 inning win.
Troy Tulowitzki homered leading off the 10th to put the Rockies ahead 5-4. Colorado closer Rafael Betancourt (1-2) walked Brandon Crawford to open the bottom half of the inning. Guillermo Quiroz sacrifice setting up the heroics by Pagan.
