00:01What a scene at Busch Stadium.
00:03Ozzie and the 85 Cardinals celebration.
00:05As the Cardinals celebrate the 1985 National League champion Cardinals.
00:09And speaking of championships, two of baseball's most distinguished franchises square off tonight.
00:14You know, it's turned out to be quite a pleasant day.
00:16A little bit cooler temperature, so you wouldn't expect the ball to fly.
00:18But these Giants bats have been kicking it up a notch, so we'll find out.
00:22Rafi Devers, 392 career in 14 games against the Cardinals, and he's hot right now.
00:27As he swings and belts it deep out to right center, this one on its way, it is gone!
00:34It's another first inning home run for Rafi Devers.
00:39The fourth one of those that he has hit in the Giants' last five games.
00:44These bats, they're just on a different level, and you're talking about a different level.
00:48It's Rafi Devers the way he's been swinging it yet again.
00:50Keeps the streak going for the Giants.
00:52The Giants with 18 games in a row with a home run, all the way back to 1947.
00:57For a Giants team to go that many games in a row, which set the all-time home run record for a single team.
01:03That year in 47, at that time, and they went 19 games in a row.
01:06As Adamas swings, hits a high deep drive left center.
01:10Scott back at the track, and it is gone!
01:16Back to back for the Giants!
01:18As Willie Adamas leaves the yard, following the Devers' blast, and it's 2-0!
01:27Just so much confidence in the Giants' dugout.
01:29It's so great, lots of smiles.
01:31And Smith with a sharp ground ball.
01:33Fair!
01:34Over first, past the diving Gorman and down the line.
01:38It hits the side wall.
01:39Walker has to come in to get it.
01:41It is Smith hustling for second, and he'll slide in safely there.
01:46And it's the third consecutive extra base hit for the Giants.
01:50And this is what the Giants have been doing so well, just putting pressure on the opposing teams in these first couple innings.
01:56You know, when you get a guy like Chapman watching these other guys swing the bat, you better be careful with him.
02:01And a good sweeper gets him to swing and miss.
02:03So McGreevy needed that.
02:05There's his first strikeout and the second out of the inning.
02:08They're all swinging it well as Lee swings and hits a fly ball in a shallow center.
02:12Jogging in is Scott.
02:14He'll ease up and make the catch.
02:16But what a start for the Giants here in St. Louis.
02:19A start tonight for Carson Seymour.
02:21And he's out there with an early 2-0 lead.
02:23And it's 5-up, 5-down for Carson Seymour.
02:27Tonight here is Jaycee.
02:28He's got hits in 5 of 6.
02:31And that one just missed.
02:33He thought he got the bottom corner, but it was low.
02:36And there's your first St. Louis base runner.
02:37So Jaycee, here's Walker.
02:39Jordan trying to snap an 0 for 18.
02:41And the pitch is strike three called.
02:4498 with a high fastball.
02:46First strikeout tonight for Carson Seymour.
02:49Jung-Hoo Lee facing McGreevy.
02:513-2 pitch.
02:52Lee swings and a line drive base hit into center field.
02:55You see Schmidt now.
02:57And that one is down the line in fair.
02:59That will kick off the side wall.
03:01And Lee on his way to third.
03:03The throw to second is late.
03:04So Schmidt with a double.
03:06They're at second and third.
03:07Nobody out.
03:07You couldn't have dropped that ball on the line any better than that shot.
03:11Giants got something cooking.
03:12Here is Gilbert.
03:13He tries to split the gap in left.
03:15Victor chases that down.
03:17It makes a great diving catch.
03:19It'll score a run, but it prevents another.
03:21What a play by Victor Scott II.
03:24Victor Scott II here in center field finds a whole new gear to track this down.
03:30He got robbed, but still a very productive out.
03:333-0 Giants.
03:35So Schmidt at third on the flyout.
03:37Patrick Bailey popped out his first time.
03:40He swings.
03:40Line drive.
03:41Base hit into left field.
03:43Schmidt trots home from third.
03:45And it's 4-0 Giants.
03:47So three hits in the inning for the Giants.
03:50Now to the top of the order.
03:51Down the third base side.
03:53Fair ball.
03:54In the dirt.
03:55Too late.
03:56Elliott Ramos hustling out and infield hit.
03:59Bailey to second.
04:00And that's hits now from four of the first five batters in this inning.
04:04And now you've got Devers up with two men on.
04:06Let's go.
04:07Devers right center field.
04:09That's into the gap.
04:11Coming around third.
04:12Bailey scores.
04:13Into third.
04:14Ramos.
04:16Second RBI of the game for Rafi Devers.
04:195-0 Giants.
04:21Three runs in the inning.
04:22There's still only one out with runners at first and third.
04:26Billy Adamas on the first pitch.
04:27Breaks his bat.
04:28Grounds it to third.
04:29Gloving it to Jacy.
04:30Throws to second.
04:31It's dropped by Fairmeen.
04:34But they'll say he had it long enough.
04:36A run's going to score that he dropped the ball on the transition.
04:40So it's another run as Ramos scores.
04:43Recefo.
04:44Right-hander.
04:45On replacing starter McGreevy.
04:47Who the Giants hit hard tonight.
04:49As Lee swings and lines it in the right field.
04:51A base hit.
04:52Right between first and second.
04:54John Hughes single.
04:55The jump start at the four-run rally last inning.
04:58Casey Schmidt doubled down the line.
05:00His last at-bat.
05:02And Schmidt swings and misses.
05:03He got fooled there on a low and in curve.
05:05And that's out number two.
05:07Drew Gilbert has walked.
05:08Then he had a line shot in the left center that was turned into a diving catch.
05:12Right up the middle.
05:14Base hit.
05:15Lee around second.
05:17And the runners are at first and third.
05:19Gilbert is running.
05:20Bailey takes a strike.
05:21Crooks throws.
05:22Short hops and what a pick and tag by Mason Wynn.
05:25Gilbert's thrown out for the first time.
05:28Jimmy Crooks gets us out of the fifth inning.
05:31And here in the bottom of the fifth, Carson Seymour has been dealing.
05:34Jimmy Crooks, who just made that one-hop throw to nail Drew Gilbert at second base to win the Giants half of the fifth inning.
05:41Leads off here.
05:41Crooks gets it started and smashes one pass.
05:44Dominic Smith.
05:45And there is your first Cardinal hit.
05:47His second in the show.
05:49There's a start.
05:50Broken bat.
05:51Another one of those.
05:54And Schmidt with a strike.
05:55Takes care of Sejaisi.
05:56That advances the runner.
05:58And now Victor Scott.
06:00Up the middle.
06:01Adamus can't get it.
06:02That's in the center field.
06:04And Crooks will come home and score.
06:06Victor Scott gets the Redbirds on the board.
06:09That makes it a 6-1 game.
06:12Well, Victor Scott in the second with two strikes.
06:14Protects.
06:15A little shorter stroke here.
06:16It finds itself a hole right up the middle.
06:19You got Adamus and Schmidt converging on the baseball.
06:22And will sneak through into center.
06:24Ryan Fernandez, the new pitcher for the Cardinals.
06:27As Chapman swings and lifts one into shallow right center.
06:30Going out is the second baseman Fermin.
06:32Diving the center fielder Scott.
06:34And Scott can't quite reach it.
06:36A great effort as it bounces towards Walker, the right fielder.
06:41Chapman's going to have himself a hit.
06:43Now he's on the board.
06:44Better late to the party than never.
06:46Hit number 13 for the Giants.
06:48And Jung-Hoo Lee, who's had two of the hits with a run score, it comes up.
06:52Base hit to right field.
06:54Jung-Hoo Lee's third hit of the game.
06:56It's right down the end of the corner.
06:58Goes to the wall.
06:59Coming around third.
07:00Chapman.
07:01He will score.
07:02Standing up.
07:04A triple for Jung-Hoo Lee.
07:067-1 Giants.
07:08They have their eighth potential run, 90 feet away with nobody out.
07:12As Casey Schmidt lines it into left field, a base hit.
07:16And Lee now can just jog home the Giants' eighth run of the game.
07:22Casey Schmidt's second hit.
07:23It's 8-1.
07:25Tristan Beck making his 24th appearance of the season.
07:28And it brings in Yvonne Herrera.
07:31That one stroked toward left center.
07:33That is going to fly way out of here.
07:37Herrera with a long home run.
07:39Four homers in his last seven games.
07:42That's more like it.
07:44It's 8-2.
07:45That's how you do it right there.
07:47Covered and well.
07:48Nice snag out there in the bleachers by that fan.
07:51It was a no-doubter off the bat of Yvonne Herrera.
07:53I said it the other day, that kid was born to hit.
07:56It's the bottom of the ninth inning, 8-2 Giants.
07:59The Giants are an out away from win number 72.
08:03Struck him out and make it 11 wins in the last 12 games for the Giants.
08:09And they've won four in a row on this road trip.
08:13And five in a row dating back to the final game at home on Sunday.
08:16And they continue to hit the long ball and score a lot of runs tonight.
08:20Eight runs on 18 hits.
08:22Two of which were home run.
