San Francisco Giants reporter Justice delos Santos of the Mercury News in San Francisco certainly got his steps in to pay off a bet with Chicago Cubs reporter Jordan Bastian.

During Wednesday night's game, Santos told Bastian that he would run a mile for every run scored in the matchup between the Giants and the Cubs. The two teams picked a good night to score 15 combined runs in a contest the Giants won 12-3.

Here's the hilarious clip of Santos discussing the bet that he would have to pay off.
