the young right-hander Hayden bird song final game of the year here for Oracle park that's his 41st walk in 67 Innings high pop up into shallow right field and it's going to be the center fielder McCrae who makes the catch and bird song throws strike three called he throw a change up and just totally froze Goldman Donovan runs the pitch swing and a miss he struck him out with the slider beuty a walk to start it off and then he retired three in a row what a start to Michael mcgreevy's career three games two of
them starts making his third one today and he's had a lot of success I've been so impressed with the Poise that Michael mcgrey has and rolls the first one softly to Second the glove flipp in plenty of time to Matt Carpenter another chance at second and three pitches in mcgrey has two ground ball outs but buns it too close to mcgrey who throws him out two ground balls to second one to the pitcher we go to the second no score we go to the second on a beautiful day at Oracle Park Matt Carpenter gets things
started for St Louis is lined into shallow left and down for a base hit so Matt Carpenter with a knock here in the second inning and again we don't know if this is the final run for Matt Carpenter pitch on the way strikes recall a fast ball down the middle well after those sliders Walker apparently had convinced himself that that was the way bird song was going now here's a swinging strike three slider down and away two and two pitch strike three called a fast ball in there and after the leadoff hit by Carpenter Birdsong
out three in a row he's got five strikeouts in two innings so Chapman has just been taken out of the game to a standing ovation what a year this kid has had well and it got topped off by being named the Willie Mack award for winner for 2024 Brandon Donovan walked to start the game he's the first of two base runners for the Cardinals today there's a swing and a high fly ball to right field off the bat of Donovan and that's gone a home run for Donnie his 14th of the season and the Cardinals
jump out on top one- nothing the right field wall here is only 309 Right Down the Line then it juts out the 365 but it is a tall wall down there 24 ft and he got it up and over that two and two the pitch is called strike three got him with a curveball swing and a foul tip strike three make it eight hard to do much better than that aen B song he's got some incredibly dominant swing and Miss stuff so far but he does give up the Home Run fourth inning one- nothing Cardinals
Hayden bird song right-hander 23 years old pitches 22 swing and a miss strike three through a slider and got him for his ninth strikeout well he throws the split at him and comes back with a breaking ball and he goes right over the top that's strikeout number nine this is onew Walker Strikes Out Swinging on a high fast ball number 10 for a Birdsong very very impressive 10 strikeouts in four Innings so back to- back walks chance for St Louis to add some insurance here with fine coming up let's see how St Louis plays it
with him that's a roughing bat break a ball in the dirt you're right should have buned good day for Donovan a walk in a Homer today as Homer cleared the right field wall and this one not off Wade shoulder that'll trickle into shallow right field coming around to score of su ji without a pro Donovan fights and fights and fights puts it in play something good happens it's an RBI and the Cardinals lead by two yeah on the ninth pitch of the abbat he had fouled off four different pitches in this one and then finally
is able to get the barrel to something Lamont W Jr not able to keep it in front of him it kicks off and the Cardinals get something going again get another run on the ground that's through for a base hit burles has his 76th RBI pz comes around to score and the two walks come back to Haun bird song in the fifth inning St Louis leads it three to nothing but this time it's the change up down the middle another hit and that's going to be it for bong bong's not happy you could tell by
the way he walks off the M Walker roll for two a couple of strike outs drives this one to right Matos is in Dives traps the ball and and canani on his way to third the throw into second and Walker a base hit has a one for three day and a four-game hit streak drops in front of mos out there in right field and after first and third nobody out two away and it's still a three-run game the runner breaks for second the pitch is swung on and the base hit the right field that drives
in canani Walker makes third an RBI hit for fine he's one for three and that's his fourth RBI this year four nothing Cardinals I'm happy for Jose for me happy for him big time good for him picking up a another hit with runners in scoring position the Cardinals now have three of them and all three RB have been big the bases are loaded for burles boy what a way to cap off the season with a big fly here for burles wouldn't that be something maybe playable for Schmidt and it's going to fall we said it
was seven miles per hour at the start of the game with the wind it has picked up Sun but the wind definitely pushed this thing away from him lined in a right center field that's going to get down for a runs scoring hit two come home Burleson's had a big day at the plate and instead of out number three it's a three-run inning for the Cardinals Burleson with a three RBI day well mccrae's got him shaded the other direction in center field he muscles a 99 mph fast ball at the top of the zone so
two men out with the Giants and in the leadoff spot where Yas had started the game comes Luis maos now this one hit hard toward left but right at Newar and the runners hold with one man down there's a bullet to third throw back to Second Out Of Reach of Donovan and everybody save that is hit toward the Gap in right center field but that's closed quickly by canani who makes the cat well making his major league debut welcome Trevor McDonald who just got activated today he's making his debut on the last day of the
Season there's his mom and dad McDonald 62 200 pounder ground ball to First and carnos own's got this one he'll take it to the bag himself for the put out and congratulations Trevor McDonald he's a big leager and his first inning was a perfect one he got three ground balls and retired the side in order line drive fair down the left field line Schmidt on for and he's got a double so Brett wisley gets a crack here with one out in the seventh now a liner into center field that's going to be a base hit
for wisley coming around third Schmidt Matt Williams sends him the throw cut off Schmidt scores and the Giants are on the board it's six to one wisley with the RBI single that was a nice swing by wisley as the Cardinals get way to their Bullpen Steven matz in for his 12th game of the season sharply hit and caught it third Fine's got it and the Cardinals in 2024 with a 6-1 win a series Victory against the Giants partner and a 12-game Improvement for last year
