St. Louis right-hander Luke Weaver jumped out to a fast start, striking out the first four batters he faced. But a 28-pitch third inning in which he allowed six runs chased him from the game. Catcher Yadier Molina's throwing error in that inning didn't help, and the rookie was charged with zero earned runs because of it.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Ending a drought: Posey entered Friday without a home run in a career-high 182 at-bats. He also hadn't hit a homer at AT&T Park since July 4. But those streaks finally came to a halt in the fourth inning, after Posey crushed a first-pitch offering from Jaime Garcia over the left-center-field fence.
