Giants devastate Dodgers with inside-the-park home run

It’s one of the most exciting plays in baseball. And it was devastating for the Dodgers. What looked like a bloop hit that landed on the warning track down the left-field line morphed into an inside-the-park home run that left Teoscar Hernandez giving chase as the ball off Jung Hoo Lee’s bat careened away from him in the left-field corner.

com/Bu2CkdQvVv — MLB (@MLB) May 15, 2026 Despite Hernandez’s misplay, there was no error assigned on the play, resulting in an official inside-the-park home run — the first-ever by a Giant inside Dodger Stadium and the first by a San Francisco player since Patrick Bailey’s walk-off variety last July against the Phillies. The Giants caught a break in more ways than one on the play. Lee fought off a tough 0-2 fastball at the top of the zone from Emmett Sheehan with an inside-out swing that resulted in an exit velocity of only 73.
