Overview
- Shay Whitcomb hit a chopper that bounced over shortstop Thomas Saggese with the infield drawn in to score Nate Furman and end a 5-4 extra‑innings game.
- The play completed an 11th‑inning finish on Monday and raised Whitcomb’s line to 2-for-5 while lifting his season OPS to about .506.
- Logan Webb turned in six strong innings with eight strikeouts and left with a no‑decision after allowing a long Alec Burleson homer into McCovey Cove.
- Managers made multiple late substitutions and defensive shifts that changed matchups in extras, including moving Jonah Cox and inserting Furman at second base before the final play.
- The win moved the Giants to 60-85 and reduces the chance of a 100-loss season while the Cardinals fell five games behind the third NL Wild Card spot, a standing change that tightens their margin for error down the stretch.
