The San Francisco Giants secured a thrilling 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, setting them up for a chance to finish the season at .500 for the first time since 2022.

Rookie pitcher Hayden Birdsong will take the mound for the Giants, looking to build on his recent success against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will counter with rookie Michael McGreevy, who is also seeking to make a mark in his third career start.

Both teams are out of playoff contention, making this final game of the season a chance for players to showcase their skills heading into the offseason.

Masyn Winn had a stellar game, recording a home run, a double, and driving in four runs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

In a bittersweet moment, Charlie Blackmon, in his final homestand, was celebrated by fans following his retirement announcement. He contributed significantly to the Rockies' scoring but could not secure the win.

The Cardinals capitalized on late opportunities, scoring four runs in the eighth, overshadowing Blackmon's achievements.
