MLB round-up: Giants get walk-off win in home opener against Padres
The win completed a happy homecoming for new Giants manager Bob Melvin, the former Padres skipper who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and played three of his 10 big-league seasons with the Giants. Chapman set the stage for Estrada's heroics by getting hit on the left elbow on a 1-2 pitch from Padres reliever Enyel De Los Santos (0-1).
Estrada then swung through a changeup before sending a fastball to the wall in left-center, just far enough to allow Chapman to beat Fernando Tatis Jr.'s strong throw to the plate with a head-first slide.
Camilo Doval (1-0), the third Giants pitcher, got the win after escaping a jam in the top of the ninth.
