San Diego Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro has had one of the most epic finishes in a game so far this season. In the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded, Alfaro hit a walk-off double to beat the San Francisco Giants.
This game between the Padres and the Giants was a true nailbiter with little scoring throughout. San Diego jumped out to an early 1-0 lead thanks to a solo home run by Manny Machado. Then, after four straight scoreless innings, San Francisco tied the game with a Brandon Crawford RBI single in the ninth.
The game went into extra innings, the Padres loaded the bases, and then the magic happened.
