Bailey Hits Historic Walk-Off Inside-the-Park HR

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey made MLB history by hitting a three-run, walk-off inside-the-park home run against the Philadelphia Phillies, leading the Giants to a 4-3 victory. The home run, which ricocheted off Oracle Park's right-center field wall and escaped the reach of Phillies outfielders, marked just the third time a catcher has ended a game with an inside-the-park homer and the first since 1926. The Giants rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the ninth inning to secure their ninth walk-off win of the season. Bailey, who has struggled offensively this year, expressed surprise and exhaustion after his sprint around the bases. The win keeps the Giants in playoff contention and boosts their momentum as the All-Star break approaches. The dramatic finish thrilled fans and highlighted baseball's unpredictability.
