Patrick Bailey crushed a walk-off, three-run homer with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night, producing the only scoring of the San Francisco Giants' 3-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. After Camilo Doval (2-0) had pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the inning, Pirates closer David Bednar (1-2) walked Michael Conforto and served up a single to Matt Chapman to start off the bottom of the inning. A wild pitch advanced the baserunners, but rather than intentionally walk Bailey to load the bases and create a potential forceout at the plate, Bednar grooved a 1-1 fastball that the San Francisco catcher drilled over the right field wall for his third homer of the season.
