The San Francisco Giants pulled off a crazy comeback victory on Monday night against the slumping Los Angeles Angels.
They entered the ninth inning trailing by a score of 3-2 before erupting for six runs and sending Angels fans home unhappy.
With nobody out in the ninth inning, Patrick Bailey drove in two runs with a go-ahead double to make it a 4-3 game in favor of the Giants.
Hits from Mark Mathias, Thairo Estrada, and Blake Sabol helped the Giants put the game out of reach.
On Twitter, Sarah Langs of MLB.com tweeted a graphic which shows just how close the Angels were to winning and how the Giants completely flipped the script.

The graphic shows win probability, which measures how likely a team is to win a ballgame based on the current situation of the game.
At the start of the ninth inning, the Halos had a win probability of just over 75 percent.
However, things changed very quickly.
And by the time the bottom of the ninth inning rolled around, the Giants had almost a 100 percent chance of winning the game.
Eventually, that probability would officially reach 100 percent.
San Francisco won the game by a final score of 8-3 and handed the Angels their seventh straight loss.
The win put the Giants back in front of the defending National League champion Philadelphia Phillies in the Wild Card race by a half-game.
Still, it’s always interesting to see what things look like based on situations in a game and how certain things are measured.
