It started as a forgettable relief outing, then turned into something almost no one saw coming.

Thrown into a blowout and already roughed up, Daniel Camarena’s night looked over before it began—but one unlikely trip to the plate flipped everything. Facing Max Scherzer with the bases loaded, the unheralded reliever delivered a swing that stunned the stadium and erased the deficit. By night’s end, San Diego had completed an improbable comeback, and Camarena had etched his name into history in the most unexpected way.
