Home runs by Bryce Eldridge, Christian Koss lead Giants past Cardinals 2-1

Bryce Eldridge and Christian Koss propelled the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night, with Eldridge extending his on-base streak to 17 games with a solo home run in the first inning and Koss adding another in the second. Left-hander Landen Roupp, who had been on a losing streak of five starts, emerged victorious for the second consecutive outing, as he secured his third straight win spanning three appearances.

After being claimed off waivers from the Brewers last Friday, the rookie Joel Kuhnel made his home debut and recorded the final four outs, earning his seventh save of the season. Pinch-runner Victor Scott II stole second base to bring the tying runner to the plate, with Bryan Torres adding a crucial RBI single. RHP Andre Pallante (12-6, 3.51 ERA) will lead the St. Louis Cardinals in the series finale at home against the Giants on Wednesday afternoon.
