The Giants loaded the bases, so the Rockies went with the trendy five-infielder setup. And it almost worked for Colorado.

Veteran catcher Erik Kratz hit the ball to Ian Desmond, who got up and threw home. His throw beat Brandon Belt to the plate, but Rockies backstop Chris Iannetta didn't have his foot on home base.

The Giants and Rockies came close to setting the record for latest end-time at AT&T Park/Oracle Park.

It's also been a long time since the Giants had a walk-off hit in the 18th inning or later. A REALLY LONG TIME.
