The San Francisco Giants outlasted the New York Mets in a back-and-forth, 13-12 affair on Tuesday night. The Giants raced out to an 8-2 lead, only to watch as the Mets stormed all the way back to take a 10-8 lead. Aside from the drama, the game also featured a monstrous performance from Giants outfielder Joc Pederson. In fact, Pederson did his best impression of former Giants slugger Barry Bonds in the win over the Mets, accomplishing this franchise feat that hasn't been seen since 1994, as reported by ESPN Stats and Info.

Pederson is the first Giants player to hit three homers in a game at home since Bonds did it in 1994.

The left-handed slugger started his night off with a two-run shot in the third inning, then followed it up with a couple of mammoth homers, piling up five more RBI with 436 and 415-foot taters, also adding an RBI single later in the win over the Mets.

What was the inspiration behind the incredible performance? Take it from Pederson himself, per ESPN.

“Just getting knowledge from such a good hitter and the way he thinks about baseball and hitting, it just helped to connect some dots to free my mind up at the plate,” Pederson said. “I'm not ever going to be Barry Bonds; he's the best hitter to touch a bat. But it definitely helped free my mind up in the box.”

That's right, Pederson and Bonds chatted it up before the Giants-Mets game, then the outfielder went out and made the MLB's home run king proud with this impressive show of power.

Giants fans are likely wondering if Bonds can talk to Pederson before every game.
