Bryce Eldridge hit a game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to cap an incredible comeback by the San Francisco Giants, who scored 10 runs over the final two innings of an 11-10 victory against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. San Francisco trailed 9-1 before rallying for five runs in the eighth and five more in the ninth to stun the Nationals and avert a three-game sweep. Big league teams trailing by at least eight runs in the eighth inning or later had lost 4,291 consecutive games since Cleveland stormed back from 10-2 down to beat Tampa Bay 11-10 on May 29, 2009, per Sportradar. Matt Chapman had four hits, including two home runs his second coming as part of back-to-back homers with Rafael Devers in the eighth to set up the comeback. Jung Hoo Lee singled to extend his hitting streak to 18 games for the Giants, the longest active stretch in the majors. Luis Arraez and Chapman hit consecutive doubles to begin the ninth. Devers walked and Lee singled to load the bases before Eldridge drove a 2-0 slider from Mitchell Parker (2-3) into the right-field arcade for the rookie's fourth home run. Lee raised his arms in celebration before the ball went over the wall. James Wood hit his 18th home run for Washington. Daylen Lile added four hits, and Curtis Mead also homered on a day when every Nationals' starter had a hit while seven players drove in at least one run. Washington, which had already clinched its fifth consecutive road series win, was on the verge of finishing a 5-1 trip before collapsing in the ninth. Revier Sanmartin (1-0) retired six batters to earn the win. He gave up Mead's leadoff homer in the ninth that made it 10-6, but that insurance run wasn't enough for Washington. Wood got the Nationals going in the third when he crushed a high 3-1 fastball from starter Robbie Ray and sent it over the center-field fence. Washington scored three runs in the sixth and added three more in the seventh before the Giants rallied. Ray allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. Up next Nationals: RHP Zack Littell (6-4, 4.76 ERA) faces the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Giants: Had not announced a scheduled starter for Fridays home game against the Chicago Cubs.

Haiti have been forced to change their World Cup kit after it featured war imagery (CHANDAN KHANNA)Haiti have been forced to change their kit design just days before their World Cup opener against Scotland after FIFA banned a depiction of a war scene on the shirts.An illustration of the Battle of Vertieres in 1803, which secured Haiti's independence, with the Haitian flag had been embedded on the shirts worn by the players in two warm-up friendlies in Florida.Colombian manufacturer Saeta said on Wednesday that they have modified the kit to meet FIFA's regulations."The final design presented by Saeta was intended as a tribute to the men and women who contribute every day to Haiti's future and was not intended as a political statement," Saeta said in a statement posted on Instagram."During the review process, FIFA determined that certain visual elements could be interpreted differently under its equipment regulations and ultimately requested modifications to the design."While this interpretation differed from our intention, Saeta respected the process and implemented the final requirements communicated by FIFA."Haiti begin their first World Cup campaign in 52 years against Scotland in Boston on Saturday.The Caribbean minnows, ranked 83rd in the world, then face the might of five-time winners Brazil and African champions Morocco in Group C.Haiti's qualification is one of the most inspiring tales of the tournament.Despite a backdrop of domestic chaos, with the impoverished nation grappling with gang violence that meant they were unable to play home qualifiers in the country, they have reached just a second World Cup in their history."We know people might have a bad image of our country, that it has lots of problems, but this will do the country, the people, my family so much good," star midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde told AFP.kca/nf
