Game Summary
San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1. The Giants rode a pair of early solo homers — Bryce Eldridge in the first and Christian Koss in the second — to build a two-run cushion and received strong starting pitching from Landen Roupp, who went six scoreless innings allowing two hits. Koss finished 2-for-3 with a homer and an RBI, and Eldridge’s long ball provided the game's other run. The turning point came when San Francisco struck in each of the first two innings to establish the lead. St. Louis scratched a run in the ninth on Bryan Torres’ RBI single, but Joel Kuhnel worked the final 1.1 innings for the save to close out the victory.
