The Giants went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, but didn’t create any scoring chances after the sixth inning.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp throws against the St. Louis Cardinals during the first inning of a baseball game Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO — Jerar Encarnacion homered and the Giants earned an early lead, but rookie starter Landen Roupp had an uncharacteristic blow-up, pitting San Francisco in too deep a deficit.
San Francisco responded in the second with a mammoth blast from Encarnacion. The right fielder smoked a 1-2 hanging curveball from St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas over the Giants’ bullpen in center field. His fifth home run had an exit velocity of 108.8 mph and carried 430 feet. Taylor Rogers inherited Cardinals on second and third from Roupp, and he couldn’t rescue the starter. A Nootbaar triple off the southpaw added two more earned runs to Roupp’s line and put the Giants behind, 6-3. And by then, the Giants’ offense was cold.
San Francisco went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position overall — and 0-for-0 in that situation over the last three innings.
