Paul Goldschmidt continued his mastery of the Giants with four hits and two homers last night. He came up in the 9th with the bases loaded and one out and the Cardinals down by four but hit the first pitch he saw from Camilo Doval to Thairo Estrada who started a game-ending double play. Everything else went the Giants way, too. Anthony DeSclafani had another good start, giving up two runs (the Goldy homers) and fanning six over six innings. Tristan Beck and Tyler Rogers (who has allowed only one run in 12 appearances) took care of the 7th and 8th but Sean Hjelle had a terrible 9th and had to be bailed out by Doval despite entering the game with a 5-run lead.
