Curtis Mead's breakout Major League Baseball season has continued despite the Washington Nationals blowing an eight-run lead against San Francisco to fall to a 11-10 defeat.
The Adelaide product, traded to the Nationals from the Chicago White Sox in late March, lodged his 10th home run but it wasn't enough to stop a stunning fightback from the Giants.
Bryce Eldridge launched a walk-off grand slam with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the Giants rallying from a 9-1 deficit to score 10 runs over the final two innings to secure the shock win.
After Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers had homered as part of a five-run eighth that got the Giants back in the game at 9-6, the Nationals added an insurance run in the top of the ninth when Mead homered off left-hander Reiver Sanmartin, who was making his San Francisco debut.
