Even in lost seasons, there are always things to look for. Exciting little moments that reward you for choosing to spend your afternoon with the San Francisco Giants.
On Sunday, in a 4-3 extra-innings loss to the San Diego Padres that cemented a mostly-lifeless sweep, one such moment occurred in the ninth inning.
Heliot Ramos hit a home run into McCovey Cove.
The home run — which tied the game — was Splash Hit No. 105 in this, the 25th year of Oracle Park. And of those 105, it was the first one that was hit by a right-handed hitter.
