Giants lose 4th straight in series opener against Cardinals

SAN FRANCISCO — It doesn’t qualify as a free fall, but then again it’s not something the home fans are used to either.

The Giants lost 7-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday night before a crowd of 22,562 at Oracle Park in the first game of a seven-game homestand. It was their fourth straight defeat.

St. Louis got a solo home run in the second inning by Yadier Molina against losing pitcher Zack Littell (0-1) in a bullpen game and never trailed. Miles Mikolas (2-1) got the win, giving up one run in 5 2/3 innings and getting relief help from Andre Pallante, Nick Wittgren and Kodi Whitley.
