Ramos becomes 1st righty batter to homer into McCovey Cove - ESPN

SAN FRANCISCO — David Peralta hit a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning, and the San Diego Padres overcame Heliot Ramos becoming the first right-handed batter to homer into McCovey Cove with a 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday that finished a three-game sweep.

Ramos hit a 394-foot, opposite-field drive into the water behind the right field stands in the ninth off Robert Suarez (9-3), tying the score 2-2. There have been 167 splash homers by left-handed batters since the ballpark opened in 2000, including 104 by Giants hitters.

«It looks impossible just by looking at the wall and the weather here,» Ramos said, adding that the feat was «insane» to him.

The 25-year-old said he was always aware that no right-handed hitter had a Splash Hit and wanted to be the first.

«We lost, obviously, but it's a special day because I did that,» Ramos said. «It's a good accomplishment for me.»

San Diego (85-65) is in the top NL wild card position with two weeks to play, 1½ games ahead of Arizona.

«This team is on a mission. We definitely want to get there,» said Fernando Tatis Jr., who had a pinch homer in the eighth.

San Francisco has lost four straight.

With the score 2-2, Peralta drove in automatic runner Jake Cronenworth with an opposite-field single to left leading off against Camilo Doval (5-3). Peralta took third on Luis Arraez's double and scored on Donovan Solano's groundout for a 4-2 lead.

Michael Conforto hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom half against Adrián Morejon, who retired Patrick Bailey on a groundout for his second save.

The Padres improved to 9-1 in extra-inning games, the highest winning percentage in the big leagues. Manager Mike Shildt said his team has a «hunger to win and compete» and players that
