Giants make insane 11th-inning history at expense of Cubs' Ryan Pressly's worst inning ever
The San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs might've played the craziest 11th inning in MLB history last night.
They went to the 11th tied at 5-5 after a scoreless 10th.
Then in the top half of the 11th at Wrigley Field, the Giants scored nine runs.
In the history of their franchise that began in 1883, they had never scored that many runs in a single extra inning, per MLB stat expert Sarah Langs.
On the opposite side was reliever Ryan Pressly.
He faced eight batters and didn't record an out.
All eight hitters Pressly faced came around to score, along with the bonus runner that began the inning on second base.
Ryan Pressly is the only MLB reliever to allow 8+ earned runs in a game, not get an out and take the loss (since earned runs became official in both leagues in 1913).

The Giants scoring went like this:
- Patrick Bailey RBI single, 6-5
- Brett Wisely sac bunt RBI, 7-5
- Willy Adames hit by pitch with bases loaded, 8-5
- Jung Hoo Lee RBI single, 9-5
- Matt Chapman 2-RBI single, 11-5
- Wilmer Flores RBI single, 12-5
- Heliot Ramos RBI double, 13-5
- Patrick Bailey sac fly, 14-5
You know it's trouble when Bailey gets in the same inning's RBI list at both ends.
The teams didn't score any runs in the sixth, seventh or eighth innings before the Cubs got two in the bottom of the ninth to force extras.
But from that point on, it was all Giants.
