Ramos scored a "Little League Home Run" and the Giants' fifth goodbye win of the season set an MLB record

Bob Melvin has never seen such a dramatic end in his 22-year major league coaching career. At Oracle Park on Sunday afternoon, Heliot Ramos helped the Giants to a 3-2 win over the Rangers with a "Little Home Run" to complete a two-day winning streak of nine innings — the team's first back-to-back win since July 29-30, 2023, against the Red Sox.

Ramos, the first batter in the ninth inning, hit third base and rolled slowly to the ground, and Rangers finisher Luke Jackson made a pass to first base, and the ball bounced past first baseman Jake Burger and rolled into the out-of-bounds. After an easy second base, Ramos slowed down as he watched the posting, which unexpectedly caused Berg to make another mistake on third base, and the ball passed through third baseman Josh Smith, and Ramos took the opportunity to run back to home plate to score.

"It's simply Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Events series," Jackson laughed to himself. Ramos slumped back to home plate and collapsed in exhaustion until Willy Adames and LaMonte Wade Jr. pulled his jersey up. "He's ridiculous," Wade laughs, "I thought he wouldn't be able to get up." "

According to Statcast, Ramos completed a home run in 18.67 seconds and averaged a sprint speed of 29 feet per second (the MLB average is 27 feet per second). "At first, I just wanted to go to first base," Ramostan admitted, "and when I saw a bad pass and hit second base, I thought there was a fill-in. It wasn't until third base coach Matt Williams signaled to continue the sprint. "

Berg said after the game that he was unaware of Ramos' hesitation: "At that time, I just wanted to prevent a no-out third baseman situation, and I had to risk a pass. Bruce Bochy, head coach of the Rangers, called the ending one of the most incredible moments of his 28-year coaching career: "Luke throws a good ball and then gets goodbye for rolling the earth, a script that is rare in a century. "

With a fifth comeback win in MLB's most season, the Giants are firmly at the top of the National League West with 19 wins and 10 losses. After a 17-17 game schedule (10-7), the team has its first rest day since April 10 and will face fellow rivals Padres (17-11) at PETCO Park on Tuesday.

"Fighting day and night, coast to coast, this group of fighters showed resilience," Melvin admired, "We always broke out at the last minute, and the 17 consecutive battles were handled perfectly. "

The Giants relied on Wilmer Flores' full-run home run to push back Rangers starter Jack Leiter to score the first inning, and in the fourth inning, Ramos hit a base steal to create a two-out run for Christian Koss to hit a well-timed equalizer — the first point of Coase's career, and he replaced Tyler Fitzgerald, who had a chest contusion, for two consecutive starters at second base.

"As long as we hold on until the last minute, we can always find a way to win," Melvin concluded, "and this time it's just a new twist." "
