Thairo Estrada chipped in with three hits and
scored a run for the Giants, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit by
scoring in the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth innings to pull
away into a fifth straight win.
Flores' fourth homer of the year was the big blow of the game.
It came with Mitch Haniger aboard in the seventh and extended a
one-run advantage to 5-2.
The Giants then put the game away with another two-run uprising
in the eighth. Estrada got the inning going with a double, after
which Michael Conforto drove in one run with a single and Wade
another with a triple.
DeSclafani (2-1) got the win, limiting the Cardinals to a pair
of Goldschmidt solo shots, his third and fourth homers of the
season, that put the visitors up 2-0 in the third.
The home runs were the third and fourth of Goldschmidt's career
against DeSclafani. He also added a double to improve his career
numbers against the former National League Central rival to
17-for-30 (.567).
DeSclafani allowed just three other hits, and no more runs, in
his six innings. He walked one and struck out six.
The Giants rallied into a lead by the end of the fifth, ignited
by Wade's leadoff homer in the fourth, his third of the season.
Austin Slater tied the game with an RBI single later in the
inning, and Haniger gave San Francisco the lead for good when he
dashed home on a Jordan Hicks wild pitch in the fifth.
Hicks (0-2) was charged with the loss after replacing Cardinals
starter Steven Matz, who allowed two runs and six hits in four
innings. He walked three and struck out three.
The Cardinals got within 7-3 in the ninth and brought
Goldschmidt to the plate as the potential tying run with the
bases loaded and one out. However, Camilo Doval got him to
ground into a game-ending double play. Doval earned his third
save.
Wade, Conforto, Slater and Blake Sabol had two hits each for the
Giants, who hadn't even had a two-game winning streak this
season before going on their current five-game run. Wade drove
in two runs, while Haniger scored twice.
Goldschmidt finished 4-for-5 and Paul DeJong had a pair of
doubles for the Cardinals, who lost their third straight.
