WEBB LABORS VS. CARDINALS IN FIFTH STRAIGHT LOSS
On the final day of a six-game, three-city road trip that was equal parts emotional and exhausting, the Giants found themselves looking at the wrong kind of history.
Sonny Gray took a perfect game into the seventh inning against his former manager and allowed just one hit, a loud homer from Patrick Bailey that broke up the perfect game, no-hitter and shutout as it sailed deep into the seats in right. The Giants tried to rally late but couldn't come back, losing 5-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals, who swept the three-game series and handed the Giants a 1-5 road trip.
On a muggy 90-degree day at Busch Stadium, the Giants didn't even make Gray break a sweat as he churned through one quick inning after the next. He was handed a three-run lead in the first and went nine up, nine down on just 34 pitches.
