Curt Casali was back in the lineup for the San Francisco Giants and was in a rut going into his last at-bat, but ended the game with one swing of the bat.

Casali struck out in his first four at-bats, but hit a game-winning walk-off double that scored Steven Duggar from first base in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Giants scored two runs to stun the Oakland Athletics 6-5 at Oracle Park for their 50th win of the season.

Duggar singled in Brandon Crawford from second base, as he tied up the game with his base hit off of former Giants reliever Burch Smith.

The Athletics took the lead in the top of the 10th inning, as Seth Brown scored from third base on a Matt Chapman sacrifice fly off of Giants closer Jake McGee.

Brown started the inning on second base, when to third base on a ground out by Ramon Laureano.

It looked like the Giants were going to win the game in the bottom of the ninth inning, but LaMonte Wade, Jr., was easily thrown out at the plate on a double by Crawford that saw a perfect throw from Tony Kemp to Chapman who threw to Sean Murphy to easily tag out Wade, Jr., to end the inning and the game went to extra innings.

Alex Wood went 5.1 innings for the Giants, as he allowed two runs (one earned), scattering four hits, walking one and striking out eight.

Dominic Leone unfortunately was unable to hold the lead, as he replaced Wood and gave up single to Mitch Moreland that tied up the game.

All in all, six relievers allowed four runs (three earned), walked one and struck out one and in the end, McGee won his third game of the season.

Wood threw a wild pitch that allowed Kemp to score the first run of the game for the Athletics in the top of the third inning.

Wade, Jr., gave the Giants the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, as he hit his fifth home run of the season.

After Moreland tied up the game in the top of the sixth inning, Chapman extended the lead up to 4-2, as he hit an opposite field home run.

Unfortunately, the Athletics bullpen was unable to hold the lead, as Wilmer Flores hit a single in the bottom of the seventh inning that scored Wade, Jr., and then Donovan Solano tied up the game when he hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning.

NOTES: With the victory, the Giants have won 10 out of their last 11 and 22 out of their last 29 games.

During the month of June, the Giants are now 16-6, trailing the Houston Astros, who are now are 19-4 in the month.

This is the first time since 1938 that the Giants are the first team to get to 50 wins in a season, this according to STATS, INC.

UP NEXT: Sammy Long takes the ball for the Giants on Sunday afternoon, as they look for the sweep, while the Athletics will send Cole Irvin to the hill.
