Since sacrifice flies became official in 1954, Matos' walk-off sacrifice to left field marked the first time San Francisco won 1-0 on a sacrifice fly since 1966 against the same opponent, the Phillies, with pitcher Juan Marichal going 14 innings.
San Francisco's bullpen shut out the Phillies for 10 innings, setting a franchise record for most reliever strikeouts in a month with 138 in May, inching closer to the MLB record set by the Brewers at 165.
