00:01We've got game one of a three game series two longtime National League rivals the Cardinals on the road taking
00:09on the Giants one of these two teams is still very much in the National League wildcard race Phillies Cubs
00:15secured Diamondbacks Padres and then the Cardinals in that third slot trying to chase down the final playoff spot in
00:21the National League Logan Webb who is getting ready to pitch here tonight in his home ballpark where he seems
00:28to always have a lot of success.
00:30You see the numbers from Webb 25 starts eight and eight record a 4-2-1 ERA.
00:34Now here it is swing ground ball right the second bending down to get it but Sabe straightens up and
00:40throws him out at first.
00:42That is ball four so Webb after getting the first out walks Herrera.
00:46Now here it is swing ground ball right the second bending down to get it but Sabe straightens up and
00:52throws him out at first.
00:54Webb looking at second now he pitches swing and a miss.
00:57He threw him the four-seam fastball up on the outside and a very defensive looking emergency hack by Walker
01:04and he still didn't get it.
01:06McGreevy has walked 40 striking out 102 and 147 in a third inning.
01:11He walked two struck out four in his win Tuesday against the Dodgers in L.A.
01:16And that one is over the plate but too high ball for him.
01:19Well that's why Turner Hill's got a 400 on base average.
01:22But here is Devers Devers who had a single yesterday.
01:27He had hit nine homers in the previous 13 games.
01:31Oh there you go.
01:32Crushes one to deep right center field.
01:35It is off the bricks.
01:36Turner Hill flying around third.
01:39He's going to be sent home and Devers into second with an RBI double.
01:43The Giants jump ahead.
01:44Well when you're as hot as Rafi Devers the shadows don't matter.
01:471-0-7 off the bat and welcome home Rafi Devers.
01:51That's a home run in every other ballpark in the league.
01:54Oslevis Basabe to lead off.
01:56Basabe right drive to center field and get down for a base hit.
01:59So Basabe got the call from the umpire.
02:03No swing.
02:04Lived to see another pitch.
02:05Took advantage of it.
02:06So here is Kisner the former Cardinal.
02:08That's grounded to the shortstop.
02:10Not hit all that hard.
02:11Out at second to throw to first.
02:12Double play.
02:13So Jacy got rid of it fast and a nice turn by Torres.
02:17Doubles up Basabe and Kisner two down.
02:19Well you had the right guy running when a catcher runs.
02:22You got a little bit more time but they were very quick.
02:24Nice turn by Brian Torres the Cardinal's second baseman.
02:27He got rid of it quick.
02:28The payoff pitch.
02:30Swing and a miss.
02:32That does it for Wickham.
02:33That does it for the Giants.
02:34So 1-0 Giants onto the third.
02:37It's Christian Kost in the top of the order.
02:39Weiner off the bat of Christian Kost.
02:41McGreevy puts it right in the air.
02:44And Christian Kost is off and running.
02:46And McGreevy can't believe it.
02:49And he might be a little hurt.
02:51That comebacker stung his left hand.
02:53He fumbled that.
02:54Then tried to get it.
02:56And again the pain in that left hand may have had something to do with it.
03:01But he just couldn't get a handle on it.
03:02And then tried to backhand flip it.
03:04And it went over the head of Burleson down the right field line.
03:07And so the runner Kost is at second base.
03:12So they're going to call that a single and an error on McGreevy.
03:15So now Turner Hill.
03:17And Hill.
03:19Nice job.
03:20On the ground to the right side.
03:21And he hustled to make it close.
03:23But they get the out.
03:25But on the play.
03:26Kost goes to third.
03:27Yeah.
03:27And he's going to get a lot of high fives going back to the dugout after this.
03:30This is a team at bat right here executing.
03:32Finding a way to get the guy over.
03:34And set up Rafi Devers runner at third with less than two outs.
03:38So that you can see sold out.
03:40That's off speed away.
03:41Finds a way to get it on the ground.
03:43And that's playing some baseball right there Albert.
03:45Threw him a changeup down in the way.
03:47And it's a four pitch walk.
03:49Eldridge was called out on strikes his first time.
03:51Eldridge out to deep left center field.
03:55Sprinting over to make the catch Church.
03:57Tagging from third is Kost.
03:59He'll come in to score.
04:01Some situational hitting for the Giants in this inning.
04:03They got Kost over.
04:05And now Grace Eldridge gets him in.
04:07It's 2-0.
04:07Nice with a 2-0 lead as we go to the fourth inning.
04:10Logan Webb back to work.
04:12Strike three call.
04:13Right on the corner.
04:16Burleson's challenging this one.
04:17The batter is challenging.
04:19I don't think he's right on this one.
04:23No.
04:25St. Louis will have one challenge remaining.
04:28Logan gets a lot of these where he's just got so much movement.
04:31And that ball comes from outer space to catch the corner.
04:35Now here's a swinging strike three.
04:37Big sweeping breaking ball.
04:38It broke a foot off the outside.
04:40And he swung at it.
04:41And missed it.
04:42Strike three.
04:43And Logan Webb not only gets the shot down inning.
04:47He strikes out the side.
04:49Bottom of the fourth inning.
04:51McGreevy on the bound for the Cardinals.
04:53Slow roller.
04:54McGreevy bare hand.
04:56Slags it.
04:56And he got him.
04:58Wow.
04:59Great play.
05:00Oh my goodness.
05:01Same guy.
05:02You know what?
05:03He's not afraid to play free and take a risk right here.
05:06And man, what a stab with the hand.
05:08And he just turns and fires.
05:10Doesn't think twice.
05:11Trusts himself.
05:12Holy cow, Albert.
05:14It's a time of year where it's hard to lose ground.
05:16Toss.
05:17Out towards right center field and sinking fast.
05:20Walker makes it dive.
05:22He held on to the ball.
05:23What a catch.
05:24Walker got a good jump on it.
05:26He did a belly flop and may have been winded out there in right center field.
05:30Oh, I'm sure that he knocked the wind out of himself with that catch.
05:33He laid out right in front of him and his face planted into the grass.
05:38Devers and RBI doubled the first time.
05:39And then they pitched around him.
05:40A four-pitch walk in the third.
05:43And he smashes one over the head of Burleson.
05:45Down the right field line into the corner.
05:47Hits up at the 3-0-9 marker.
05:49The cam played by Walker.
05:50Walker's got a great arm.
05:51Heading for second.
05:53Devers to throw in is just offline.
05:55And he slides in safely.
05:56Another double for Rafi Devers.
05:58All right, Bryce.
05:59Drive him in.
06:01Eldridge out towards the gap.
06:02In right center field.
06:03That's a base hit.
06:04Now, cut off in front of the wall by Church.
06:07Devers comes in to score.
06:09Bryce Eldridge.
06:11Maybe he'll be on one of those lists someday.
06:13Just 21 years old.
06:15Makes it 3-0 Giants.
06:19Pulled very much foul.
06:21Look out.
06:21Man.
06:22So, J.C. hit the deck.
06:24Man down.
06:25Don't take out your own feet, mate.
06:28Don't take out your own feet, man.
06:31He's okay.
06:31Hey, it's tough to barrel a ball backwards like that.
06:39Thomas wanted no part of that.
06:41Now, a ball crushed to right field.
06:44Headed for the water.
06:47Into San Francisco Bay.
06:49Cardinals are on the board.
06:51A splash home run and a monstrous home run.
06:55That's his first since Wrigley Field on August the 16th.
07:00The Cardinals are down by two.
07:03Big pitch here.
07:04And good take by Gorman on the sweeper.
07:07That's a leadoff walk.
07:09So, the Cardinals getting feisty here late in the game.
07:12Battling back.
07:13And a beautiful hold right there from Gorman to lay off that nasty sweeper.
07:18And that counts, I think, as an ugly swing.
07:21The ball scoots away.
07:23So, J.C. is out.
07:25But Nolan Gorman's going to move into scoring position.
07:27And that's a big two-out opportunity for the Cards to scratch away at this Giants lead.
07:33Church has a pretty good batting average with runners in scoring position.
07:37And he grounds that one.
07:38Fair inside the first base bag.
07:39And down the right field line.
07:41Scoring from second base is Gorman.
07:43And in the second base, representing the tying run, is Nathan Church, RBI, number 49.
07:512-2 pitch.
07:52Ground ball past the mound, toward the middle.
07:54Basabi to his right, gets in front of it.
07:55Here's the throw to first.
07:57In time.
07:59Dylan Smith in for the bullpen for the Giants.
08:02Herrera has walked, hit into a forced play, and struck out looking in this one.
08:05And a leadoff base hit from Herrera with the big boys coming up.
08:09The Cardinals have the tying run aboard.
08:12Not going, ground ball base hit.
08:15Hit it too hard for Kosta region.
08:17So the Cardinals have two off with one out.
08:20And the tying run is in scoring position.
08:24And the Cardinals just continue to apply pressure.
08:28On the ground, Eldridge spears that one.
08:31Gets the out at second.
08:32And the throw to first was late.
08:36It's not perfectly executed by the Giants.
08:39I don't know if Eldridge had a harder time getting it out of his glove.
08:43He'd have had a chance to turn two.
08:45Yeah, this isn't a tailor-made double play.
08:47Kind of a tricky one right there.
08:49Backhand and a hitch right there.
08:50Gives him just enough time to beat out the double play.
08:52But still secured the main out.
08:55Here is Gorman, the veteran.
08:56And he hits a high drive out in the left center field.
08:58Back into his right.
08:59Cox on the warning track.
09:01He's there and he makes the catch.
09:04So, Dillon Smith had to run the gauntlet.
09:08Here we go in the top of the ninth inning.
09:10The Cardinals on their road trip have gone 4-2.
09:13Winning two out of three in L.A.
09:14Two out of three in Denver.
09:16And they're trying to come back in this one tonight.
09:18On the ground.
09:19Tough play.
09:20Cox.
09:21Long throw.
09:22A couple bounces.
09:23So it's a tie.
09:24Put it out.
09:26The Baez has an infield hit.
09:29And the tying run is aboard to start the ninth.
09:31And right here, just hustle all the way.
09:33This is deep in the gap.
09:34And not the best throw from Kasa.
09:36Two hopper to their first baseman.
09:38And that's an infield hit all the way.
09:412-2.
09:41On the ground.
09:42Up the middle.
09:43Diving.
09:44Basabe stopped it.
09:47But no chance to get it out.
09:49And the Cardinals have two on with nobody out of the ninth.
09:52Church has gotten ones.
09:53They do put the wheel play on the bunt.
09:55Popped up!
09:56And Whitcomb had nobody to go to at second.
10:00So he hesitated.
10:02And instead of getting the double play at first,
10:04the Cardinals got away with one big time.
10:08Ball four.
10:09He threw the fastball, but he missed.
10:12And the cases are loaded with one out of the ninth.
10:16Jose Fermin.
10:17When we talked to Ollie Marble about Fermin
10:20when he was starting to get some playing time,
10:22he said one thing about him,
10:24he gives you a good at bat.
10:25Gives you a good effort.
10:26Gives you a chance.
10:28He hits a high fly ball to left.
10:31Should be deep enough.
10:33Hill catches.
10:35This throw's going to go to third.
10:36Baez tags and scores a tie around.
10:40Cardinals have come all the way back to tie it in the ninth.
10:43I mean, he got that pitch up.
10:45Yeah, that was well above the strike zone right there.
10:49Fermin able to beat it to the spot
10:51and accomplish the mission to tie this ball game.
10:54Cardinals just do not go quietly.
10:57Down 3-0.
10:58They've tied the game.
10:59Bottom nine.
10:59And they give the ball to the veteran right-hander Ryan Stanek
11:03to try to get this game down straight.
11:05And Jung-Hoo Lee leads off for the Giants.
11:07Lee a big chopper.
11:09And it is right over the head of Gorman.
11:11In the left field.
11:13So the winning run is aboard for the Giants
11:16to start the bottom of the ninth.
11:17Big start right there, you know.
11:19And he hits a pop-up.
11:22Shortstop shading in as a long way to go.
11:25But St. Jason gets there.
11:27It's a big first out for Stanek and the Cardinals.
11:30Another pinch hitter for the Giants.
11:32It's their younger catcher, Drew Kavanaugh.
11:34Kavanaugh goes down swinging.
11:36Stanek just stayed with the high heat.
11:39And that was fun to watch.
11:41Now it's up to Shea Whitcomb.
11:42He lines one in the left field of base here.
11:46He turned on a 99-mile-an-hour fastball.
11:50Jung-Hoo Lee the second.
11:52The winning run in scoring position.
11:55Here we go again.
11:56Koss takes.
11:57Ball four.
11:59Wow.
12:00That was pretty impressive.
12:02Bubbles over at third base with two down.
12:05Hill.
12:05High drive.
12:07Right field.
12:08And Jordan Walker is under it to make the catch.
12:12And we are going to extra innings.
12:14Burleson is at third base.
12:16Walker grounds out 4-3.
12:18A productive at-bat, though.
12:19But you've got to get him in.
12:20And it's Leo Bernal who has the chance to do it.
12:23And they've got the infield in.
12:25Bernal looking for his first hit of the game to extend his hitting streak.
12:29Bernal.
12:30A pop-up.
12:31Lee sprinting in.
12:33And can't get there.
12:35It wins.
12:36Run scores.
12:38Cardinals lead for the first time.
12:40And that's got to be frustrating for Foley.
12:43He made a good pitch.
12:44He gets a nice shallow blooper.
12:46But no man's land right there.
12:47Jung-Hoo Lee full extension.
12:49Can't get there.
12:50And the Cardinals continue to be the comeback kids.
12:55Now Eldridge.
12:56Two on.
12:56Nobody out.
12:58Eldridge.
12:59Line drive.
13:00Base hit.
13:01Hill coming around third.
13:03He's going to score the tying run.
13:05And Devers immediately looks over to Eldridge.
13:09And says, way to go, kid.
13:11It's 4-4.
13:13Cox-butts.
13:14Really good dunk.
13:16O'Brien throws.
13:17And Fermin just gets over the cover.
13:21Devers advances.
13:24One out.
13:25Winning run to third.
13:26And now they're going to walk into tension.
13:30That was weird.
13:30You're happy.
13:31I mean, first base open.
13:32You need to get a close out anywhere.
13:35A little topper.
13:37And it is a fair ball.
13:42Is that a double play?
13:44No.
13:45It is.
13:46Yeah, he stepped on.
13:46This is a double play.
13:48That's a double play.
13:50Bernal stepped on the plate.
13:52Got the out there.
13:53Giants want to ask and make sure he actually did.
13:56Yeah, he was at the plate.
13:58Giants are challenging.
14:00I think when he picked it up, that left foot was on home plate.
14:03Yeah.
14:04That home is confirmed.
14:05Out.
14:06That's a double play.
14:07The Giants get just the tying run.
14:10And we go to the 11th.
14:12Second and third.
14:13Two down.
14:13Top of the 11th inning.
14:15And a 2-2 pitch for Jose Fermin.
14:18A broken bat.
14:19One hopper to short.
14:21Cox.
14:21The throw.
14:22It's low.
14:23Picked out by Eldridge.
14:26From one first baseman to another.
14:27Albert Poole has appreciated that one.
14:30Bryce Eldridge might have just saved the game for the Giants.
14:35Now a run for the Giants will win it as we go to the bottom of the 11th.
14:41Giants found a way to keep the Cardinals from scoring their automatic run at the top of the 11th.
14:46So now all the Giants have to do.
14:47Easier said than done is get theirs home.
14:50And the game's over.
14:541-1 the count to Whitcomb.
14:59Big chopper.
15:00That's going to go.
15:02Fermin will score.
15:05And the Giants.
15:07Rock it off against the Cardinals.
15:10A tough, tough loss.
15:13For the Cardinals who fought so hard tonight.
15:16We'll have the Giants.
15:16Middle Eastern.
