The San Francisco Giants are currently on a roll.
After sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, they returned home to face off against their NL West rivals in the San Diego Padres.
The team trailed 4-0 early before climbing out of the deficit to tie the game in the ninth inning.
In the bottom of the 10th, Mike Yastrzemski came through with a walk-off three-run homer to give the Giants a 7-4 win.
The Giants have now won eight in a row.
On Twitter, NBCS, the TV home of the Giants, posted a video of Yastrzemski’s walk-off home run, which landed in the water behind Oracle Park.

San Francisco had a tough offseason, missing out on stars such as Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa.
However, the team is red-hot at the moment and has now won eight consecutive games.
Yastrzemski’s home run helped them stay just 3.5 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who still lead the NL West.
But after trailing 4-0 early in the game, Yastrzemski put an exclamation point on their comeback by sending one over the wall in right field and into Bay.
San Francisco began their win streak with a victory over the Chicago Cubs before heading to Busch Stadium and sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals.
Yastrzemski also hit a clutch home run in that series.
On Monday, the slugger struck again as the Giants pulled off an impressive comeback and extended their winning streak.
The Giants now own a record of 40-32 for the season.
