Whitcomb's Double Caps Giants' 6-Run Rally in a 7-6 Victory over the Cardinals
Whitcomb drove in the winning run after San Francisco erased a 6-1 deficit with six runs in the eighth, the Giants' third straight one-run win.
On Wednesday afternoon, the San Francisco Giants rallied for six runs in the eighth inning to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6, completing their first three-game home sweep of the 2026 season.
Rookie catcher Leo Bernal's three-run home run in the third inning and effective pitching from right-hander Andre Pallante had built a 6-1 Cardinals lead before the Giants' comeback.
Bryce Eldridge delivered a two-run single to cut the deficit to 6-3, followed by Jonah Cox's RBI hit and Jung Hoo Lee's game-tying double before Shay Whitcomb's go-ahead double.
Left-Hander Matt Wilkinson earned his first major-league win after pitching two shutout innings, while rookie reliever Trent Harris secured his first career save and first baseman Rafael Devers' 309-game streak ended.
The Giants host the San Diego Padres on Friday with right-hander Anthony Molina starting, while the Cardinals prepare to host the White Sox the same evening.
