The San Francisco Giants celebrated their 2024 home opener at Oracle Park with a dramatic 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres, capped by a walk-off double from Thairo Estrada, driving in Matt Chapman with one out in the ninth inning. The win marked a significant moment for new manager Bob Melvin, managing his first home game for the Giants, and was a highlight in the team's 25th season at Oracle Park. The game also featured a $15 million upgrade to the park's lighting and audio systems, enhancing the fan experience. Oracle Park was buzzing with excitement as fans, encouraged to show their Giants pride, filled the stadium for the sold-out game. Despite a challenging start to the season, including a rough week playing against rivals in Southern California, the Giants' return to their home turf was met with enthusiasm and support from the community, including a flyover before the game.
