The San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 in 11 innings on Monday, September 7, 2026, at Oracle Park, delivering a walk-off victory after overcoming a one-run deficit. Bryce Eldridge led the offense with three RBI, Logan Webb gave San Francisco six strong innings on the mound, and Jason Foley locked down the win in extras. For a Giants club grinding through the final weeks of the regular season, a gut-check win in 11 innings against a division opponent carries weight regardless of the calendar.
Logan Webb Deals, Bullpen Navigates Trouble
Webb was the story through the first six innings. The right-hander held the Cardinals to three hits, one earned run, and two walks while striking out eight. That is as clean a start as San Francisco could ask for at this stage of the year. Webb did his job; it was on the offense and the bullpen to finish it.
The bullpen picture was messier. Trent Harris worked a clean seventh inning, striking out two. But Dylan Smith ran into trouble over 1.2 innings, surrendering four hits and an earned run that let St. Louis tie or take the lead. Reiver Sanmartin got San Francisco out of the jam with a strikeout in just one-third of an inning. Then Jason Foley came on and delivered two scoreless frames — one hit, one walk, zero runs — to earn the win when the Giants pushed across the deciding run in the bottom of the 11th.
Eldridge, Devers, and Whitcomb Carry the Offense
Three Giants batters stood out at the plate:
- Bryce Eldridge: 2-for-4, three RBI — the offensive engine of the night
- Rafael Devers: 2-for-3, one RBI — consistent production across his three at-bats
- Shay Whitcomb: 2-for-5, one RBI — contributed in a game that went the distance
Eldridge's three-RBI performance was the backbone of San Francisco's five-run total. Devers added a multi-hit night of his own, going 2-for-3 with an RBI. Whitcomb rounded out a productive lineup that needed every one of those five runs to survive.
On the St. Louis side, Alec Burleson hit a solo home run and finished 1-for-5. Thomas Saggese went 2-for-5 but did not drive in a run. Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy worked 6.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits. The Cardinals bullpen — Justin Bruihl, Ryne Stanek, Riley O'Brien, and George Soriano — ultimately gave up the walk-off, with Soriano taking the loss after allowing the deciding hit in the 11th.
Turning Point: Extras and a Walk-Off
San Francisco entered extra innings tied or trailing — the event data confirms the Giants came back from a one-run deficit and ultimately won in walk-off fashion. Dylan Smith's rough stretch in the middle innings gave St. Louis a window, and the Cardinals took advantage. But Foley slammed that window shut. Two scoreless innings from a reliever in a one-run extra-inning game is exactly the kind of performance that flips the result, and Foley delivered. When the Giants pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the 11th against Soriano, it capped a comeback that required contributions up and down the roster.
What's Next for the Giants
San Francisco continues its series against St. Louis at Oracle Park. The Giants used five pitchers Monday night, so the bullpen workload will be worth watching in the next game. Webb's eight-strikeout, one-earned-run start keeps his name at the front of any rotation conversation heading into the final month of the regular season. With Eldridge, Devers, and Whitcomb all showing up in the same game, the offense demonstrated it has multiple contributors capable of driving in runs when the moment demands it.
