On Monday night, Bryce Eldridge came up to the plate with a chance to do something special. The Giants trailed by one entering the bottom of the ninth, but they were threatening to come back after putting runners on the corners with two outs for Eldridge. The 21-year-old rookie couldn’t come through in the big spot, though, striking out swinging to end the game. “I wasn’t pleased with how I ended the game,” Eldridge said. “I was talking with a lot of people about that. I was like, ‘I want that opportunity back. I don’t know if I’m going to get that opportunity again for a while.’” As it turned out, Eldridge needed to wait only two days. And this time, he delivered. Eldridge launched an “ultimate grand slam” in the bottom of the ninth to help the Giants erase an eight-run deficit and rally for a wild 11-10 walk-off win over the Nationals in Wednesday afternoon’s series finale at Oracle Park. The grand slam was San Francisco's seventh in a 23-game stretch, making the Giants only the second team in MLB history to do this in a single season. • A complete list of ultimate grand slams
