Giants Slap 5-2 Loss on Cardinals
The San Francisco Giants rode a solid performance from 24-year-old starting pitcher Jim Olsen to a win, beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2, at Busch Stadium. The winner was Olsen. He threw 7.2 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Kurt Heyer. Pat Henderson converted his 36th save in 41 tries.

Corey Seager, who finished 3rd in the NL in doubles with 44 in 2019, helped out the San Francisco cause in the top of the fifth inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the first baseman drew 2 walks in 4 trips to the plate.

"Jim had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said San Francisco manager Travis Fryman.

The loss makes St. Louis 61-92.
