Giants rally past Cardinals bullpen to secure 7-6 comeback win

The San Francisco Giants erased a five-run deficit in the eighth inning to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6 at Oracle Park on September 9, 2026. St. Louis starter Andre Pallante held the Giants to one run over five innings, and a three-run home run from Leo Bernal helped build a 6-1 lead for the visitors. The Cardinals' bullpen struggled in the bottom of the eighth, surrendering six runs on a series of walks, hit batters, and hits. Winquest and Soriano combined to allow the Giants to take the lead during the late surge. The loss concludes a nine-game road trip for St. Louis, which finishes with a 4-5 record. The Cardinals now return home to begin a series against the White Sox on Friday.
