There are some painful ways to lose a ballgame, but the walk-off balk may top the list.ย Just ask San Francisco Giants fans.

Against San Francisco on Saturday night, the San Diego Padres rallied to tie the game at six and put runners on the corners with no outs in the 10th inning.

They wound up not even having to put the bat on the ball thanks to Giants closerย Santiago Casilla.

On the first pitch to shortstop Alexei Ramirez, Casilla stumbled as he went to throw, resulting in a balk. Padres catcher Derek Norris was awarded home, and just like that, the game was over.

Your typical balk-off.
