The San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Tuesday, with solo home runs from Bryce Eldridge and Christian Koss providing the deciding margin. Eldridge connected in the first inning and extended his on-base streak to 17 games, per ESPN. Koss homered in the second inning.

The Cardinals' pitching, led by starter Quinn Mathews, kept the game close despite St. Louis's offensive struggles. According to Yahoo Sports, Mathews had a rough start but settled in, though the Cardinals' bats ultimately failed to generate enough production. McCovey Chronicles noted that the Giants' victory came through long ball and starting pitching—a combination that defined much of their season as September baseball wore on.
