Herrera hits tying 2-run homer in big fifth for St. Louis as Cardinals hold off Giants 6-5
Michael McGreevy (8-3) allowed five runs on six hits over five innings. The right-hander came in with an 11-inning scoreless streak, but that ended when he surrendered a leadoff home run to Heliot Ramos to begin his outing.
JoJo Romero, the fifth St. Louis pitcher, tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save.
José Fermín doubled twice and drove in a run for the Cardinals. And once they went ahead 5-4, starter Justin Verlander's night was done.
Rafael Devers homered leading off the Giants’ half of the fifth, while Ramos added a two-run single in the fourth after his 19th home run earlier.
Verlander (3-11) was tagged for six runs and nine hits over 4 1/3 innings as San Francisco kicked off a season-ending six-game homestand. He came in with a 0.36 ERA over his previous four starts.
Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge made his Oracle Park debut as designated hitter a week after being promoted from Triple-A Sacramento. He became the youngest position player for the Giants to play in their home ballpark at 20 years, 337 days old — and youngest since pitcher Madison Bumgarner pinch hit at 20 and 330 days on June 27, 2010.
