The Padres were hoping to become the first team to enjoy three straight walk-off wins against the same team since the Cardinals swept the Pirates in such fashion last May. But after a combined 23 men were left on base by the two teams, the Dodgers finally got the last laugh with a four-run explosion in inning 17 for the hard-earned 9-5 victory:
Here are 17 facts and figures from the marathon affair:
• Sunday's game totaled five hours and 47 minutes. It was the fourth-longest game in Dodgers franchise history in terms of elapsed time, dating back to 1913. It's also the fifth-longest game in Padres franchise history, which dates back to 1969.
• The 347 total minutes of today's game equaled more than the combined length of the two most recent no-hitters, thrown by Jake Arrieta and Max Scherzer. Those two performances lasted a combined 310 minutes.
• The Dodgers hold the record for the longest game (by innings) in Major League history. The Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves played to a 1-1 tie in 26 innings on May 1, 1920 in Boston.
• The Dodgers' record for longest game by innings is 22, occurring twice in 1989. They beat the Expos, 1-0, on Aug. 23 in Montreal and lost to the Astros, 5-4, on June 3 in Houston.
• The Dodgers and Padres also played a 17-inning game at Petco Park on April 29, 2007. The Dodgers won, 5-4, which coincidentally was the last game they won in 17 innings.
