Alex Cobb pitched his first shutout in 11 years and J.D. Davis hit a three-run homer, leading the SFGiants to a 4-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a four-game series.
Mitch Haniger broke the scoreless tie with a sacrifice fly in his Giants debut after coming off the injured list before the game. Davis followed with a three-run shot, his team-leading fifth homer of the year.
Cardinals starter Jordan Montgomery allowed an unearned run and five hits in six-plus innings. He struck out six but took his third straight loss. “He got stronger as the game went on,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol praised."That’s the most I’ve seen him actually pitch with an edge. He was on. He was super competitive.”
St. Louis has lost all eight series openers this season, matching a dubious franchise record set in 1988. The Cardinals are the only team in the majors yet to win a series opener. “We’re not going to give in,” Marmol said. “Other people would. There’s no way anybody in that clubhouse, staff, players included, is going to give in to what’s going on right now."It took 13 pitches for Montgomery to strike out Thairo Estrada in the first. Estrada fouled off nine pitches, including six in a row with a 3-2 count, before finally swinging and missing at a sharp curveball.Each starting third baseman saved a run with a stellar defensive play.
