Such depth still could not overcome what San Francisco produced on three swings. The Giants, scrambling to split a series and gift a victory to retired catcher Buster Posey on his day at Oracle Park, got a grand slam in the first inning and two more home runs in the second. They bombarded Cardinals starter Steven Matz with eight runs on those three homers and then kept a step ahead of the Cardinals to win, 13-7, on Saturday. Despite the offense’s bid to keep the game close, what began ugly for their starter ended up unraveling for the Cardinals with three errors, four walks in the eighth inning, and runs given away with a bases-loaded walk and bases-loaded hit batter. “The whole game was kind of out of character for us,” manager Oliver Marmol said. “If you’re going to do it, get it all in one day.” On a chilly, windy day by the bay, the early gust of runs for San Francisco left the Cardinals lineup too large a gap to close. A day after delivering the game-winner with a ninth-inning single, Dylan Carlson socked his first home run of the season.
