The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox tied a major league record in Tuesday night's game by combining to use 24 pitchers.

In a game that lasted 5 hours, 54 minutes, featured 50 players overall and saw "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" played in the middle of the 14th inning, the Giants won 7-6 on a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by Alex Dickerson in the 15th.

Dereck Rodriguez (6-9), who worked two innings for the victory, was the record-tying 24th pitcher of the night, and also the MLB-record-tying 13th pitcher used by the Giants.
