In the span of 30 minutes late in Tuesday’s game, outfielder Joc Pederson made sure the San Francisco Giants saved themselves from snatching soul-crushing defeat from the jaws of victory on two occasions, all on his way to putting together one of the greatest offensive performances in the franchise history in a game as crazy as any played in 140 seasons of Giants baseball.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pederson’s heroics may also prove to be the jumpstart the Giants’ season, which has gone south for most of May, needed to recapture the magic from 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pederson smacked three home runs, including a game-tying three-run shot in the eighth and another game-tying hit, an RBI single with two outs in the ninth, during San Francisco’s wild 13-12 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday evening. Brandon Crawford followed Pederson’s single in the ninth with a walk-off RBI single to left as the Giants let an 8-2 lead slip away, then came back from an 11-8 deficit in the eighth inning to snap a five-game losing streak.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pederson’s eight-RBI night tied a San Francisco-era club record for most runs batted in during a single game, tying Wille Mays, Orlando Cepeda and Crawford.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Giants looked headed for a season-defining defeat after Tommy La Stella grounded into a double play to bring the Giants down to their final out, with closer Edwin Diaz on the mound for New York \u2014 this coming after the Mets scored a run in the top of the ninth to take a 12-11 lead. Mike Yastrzemski and Darin Ruf followed La Stella with back-to-back singles before Pederson, with three home runs already in the bag, slapped a single to center field that scored Yastrzemski to tie the score at 12-12. With the Oracle crowd still buzzing, Crawford ended the game immediately after Pederson’s heroics with a single to left that scored Ruf, who slid into home just ahead of the throw from Mark Canha to put a bow on one of the wildest games in Oracle Park history.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
