Swung On And Belted: Giants Take Game 2 In 18

((HT: MLB.com))

The old record for an extra-inning game in the playoffs was 5:51- the Nationals and Giants blew right past that one... they went six hours, 23 minutes in length. For innings played, it matched the 18-inning Game 4 of the 2005 NL Division Series, when Houston beat Atlanta, 7-6.

If it hadn't been for Tanner Roark grooving a ball to Brandon Belt, they might still be at it.


The Giants are one win away from knocking off a pre-playoff favorite for the fall classic. The Reds were a win away once before in 2012, but gave up three straight to the Giants. And, at the same time, the Giants post-season win streak is now at a record ten games...

ICYMI: 19 Inning A's/Angels Game Ends on Walk-Off

If you have to finish a 6-hour baseball game, well, what better way to finish it than with a 2-run, walk-off home run.

That's what happened early this morning when Brandon Moss of the Oakland A's hit the aforementioned home run, leading the A's to a 10-8, 19 inning win over the Los Angeles Angels.

The game finished at 1:41 a.m Pacific Time, or 4:41 a.m to those on the East Coast.

Rather than engage in hyperbole, let's just show you the game winner (Thanks MLB.com)
