Home runs by Bryce Eldridge, Christian Koss lead Giants past Cardinals 2-1
San Francisco Giants triumphed over St. Louis Cardinals with a final score of 2-1 on Tuesday night, with Bryce Eldridge and Christian Koss driving the action. Eldridge notched a solo home run in the first inning and extended his on-base streak to an impressive 17 games, while Koss extended his own streak with a subsequent home run in the next inning.
Giants' pitcher Landen Roupp held the Cardinals scoreless over six innings, only allowing two hits, four walks, and two strikeouts. Roupp came up big again in the third inning, dodging a bases-loaded jam. San Francisco's Joel Kuhnel, who made his home debut, added to the win with a stellar seventh-inning save, allowing only a two-out single to Nathan Church and Bryan Torres' RBI single.
The Cardinals' Thomas Saggese extended his hitting streak to nine games with a single in the seventh inning. Will the Giants maintain their winning streak as they head to St. Louis for their second three-game series against the Cardinals next Monday to Wednesday?
