ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Drew Gilbert hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning,
lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals
on Wednesday afternoon.
Gilbert's first home run came off Riley O'Brien (3-9) and scored Grant McCray,
who was on second.
The Giants improved to 7-6 in extra-inning games; the Cardinals dropped to 8-8.
Reiver Sanmartn (3-0) earned the win after getting the final out in the ninth.
Joel Kuhnel picked up his eighth save despite giving up a sacrifice fly to
Thomas Saggese.
Jonah Cox had three hits and two stolen bases. He also scored a run and drove
in a run, helping the Giants win the three-game series.
Andrew Kizner added three hits and drove in a run for San Francisco.
The Cardinals fought back in the ninth with two runs off Dylan Smith, who blew
his fifth save. Nolan Gorman drew a leadoff walk and Saggese reached on an
infield single. With one out, pinch hitter Ivn Herrera walked. Jos Fermn's
sacrifice fly drove in a run and Leo Bernal's single made it 4-4.
Anthony Molina pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings before leaving after throwing 82
pitches.
Left-hander Matthew Liberatore allowed one run in six innings.
San Francisco extended its lead to 3-0 in the seventh against Luis Gastelum.
Kizner was hit by a pitch and Christian Kross singled with one out. Cox then
singled to right. Jordan Walker's throw eluded Gorman at third base, allowing
Kross to score.
The Giants went up 1-0 in the third inning. Brett Harris grounded into a double
play, but Cox scored from third.
Walker recorded his first 20-20 season, stealing his career-high 20th base in
the fourth inning. He has also hit a career-high 28th home run.
