Austin Slater doubled with two outs in the 10th inning for his first career walkoff RBI, sending the San Francisco Giants past the Miami Marlins 6-5 on Friday in an opening-day nail-biter.
Thairo Estrada hit a tying home run to start the bottom of the ninth off Anthony Bender. Then Slater came through against Anthony Bass , scoring Darin Ruf. It marked San Francisco’s first walkoff win on opening day since beating the Padres on April 6, 1987, at Candlestick Park.
Brandon Belt rode into the ballpark on a trailored boat with his signature captain hat on in a festive pregame scene, threw out the ceremonial first pitch then delivered an insurance home run in the eighth inning. It didn’t hold. Webb, 11-0 over 23 starts since losing last May 5 at Colorado, has emerged as the No. 1 starter for the reigning NL West champion Giants. At 25 years and 141 days, the right-hander became the youngest Giants pitcher to start opening day since Madison Bumgarner was 24 years, 242 days old in 2014.
Belt and shortstop Brandon Crawford each made their 11th career opening day starts, tying Robby Thompson for most in San Francisco history.
