  "account": "The San Francisco Giants secured a thrilling 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the 11th inning at Oracle Park on September 7, 2026. Starting pitcher Logan Webb, who has been consistently among the leaders in innings pitched this season, delivered a strong bounce-back start. Webb's performance included eight strikeouts and 19 swinging strikes, with the most notable being a 102.1 mph liner hit by Cardinals' Bernal.\n\nHowever, the Giants' lead was short-lived as the Cardinals took the lead in the 10th inning when Leo Bernal's bloop to right scored placed runner Alex Burleson. Bryce Eldridge came through in the bottom of the 10th by driving in the winning run with a single. The Cardinals maintained their lead until Shay Whitcomb of the Giants singled in the winning run off the Cardinals' Jason Foley in the 11th inning.\n\nWebb's performance included a run allowed in the sixth inning, marking his final inning of the game. His ERA at Oracle Park this season is 3.26, compared to 5.29 while on the road. Eldridge, who is splitting time at first base with Rafael Devers, sealed the win with a great scoop to end the game.",
  "summary": "The San Francisco Giants beat the Cardinals 5-4 in the 11th inning in their first 2026 matchup, with good work from Logan Webb, Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge to provide hope for the future.",
