YESTERDAY

San Francisco rallied to beat St. Louis 5-4 in 11 innings last night, with Shay Whitcomb's walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th ending a game the Cardinals had led 4-3 after Leo Bernal's RBI single in the top of the 10th. Alec Burleson homered (22) and Michael McGreevy threw 6.2 innings for St. Louis, which falls to 72-73 after dropping the series opener.

RECENT RESULTS (LAST 10)

STARTING PITCHERS

Quinn Mathews (L, 1-2, 4.38 ERA) makes his sixth start of 2026 for St. Louis, carrying 24.2 innings, 24 strikeouts, 12 walks, and a 1.58 WHIP through five outings. The walk rate -- 10.7% against a league figure of 8.9% -- is the sharpest concern in a small sample; the strikeout rate of 21.4% sits just below the league-wide 22.1%, and a ground-ball rate of 41.7% trails the league's 47.0%. Against right-handed batters -- the heavier side of most lineups he faces -- Mathews has allowed a .765 OPS across 92 batters faced, 154th of 227 NL pitchers in that split.

Landen Roupp (R, 8-13, 4.17 ERA) leads the San Francisco Giants tonight in his 27th start, logging 144.2 innings -- a full starter's workload -- with 137 strikeouts, 68 walks, and a 1.29 WHIP. His ERA of 4.17 is below average among NL pitchers with at least 60 innings, 70th of 110, against a league average of 3.90. His WHIP of 1.29 is average by that group's cutoff, 60th of 110 (league average 1.25). The walk rate of 11.1% is poor -- 101st of 110, against a league figure of 8.1%. The counterweight is his ground-ball rate: 57.2%, which ranks 13th of 110 NL pitchers with at least 60 innings and is the clearest strength in his profile. He is pitching at home tonight, where he has a 4.04 ERA (106th of 185 NL pitchers with at least 20 innings at home, league average 3.88).

INJURIES & ROSTER NOTES

Cardinals

Peter Strzelecki -- 2026-08-26: St. Louis Cardinals placed RHP Peter Strzelecki on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 26, 2026. Right forearm extensor inflammation.

Blaze Jordan -- 2026-08-28: St. Louis Cardinals placed 3B Blaze Jordan on the 10-day injured list. Left ankle sprain.

JJ Wetherholt -- 2026-08-30: St. Louis Cardinals placed 2B JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list. Right wrist tendinitis.

Andre Pallante -- 2026-09-04: St. Louis Cardinals activated RHP Andre Pallante from the 15-day injured list.

Giants

Carson Whisenhunt -- 2026-08-25: San Francisco Giants placed LHP Carson Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list. Left elbow sprain.

Carson Whisenhunt -- 2026-08-26: San Francisco Giants transferred LHP Carson Whisenhunt from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Left elbow sprain.

Adrian Houser -- 2026-08-26: San Francisco Giants placed RHP Adrian Houser on the 15-day injured list. Right forearm strain.

Casey Schmitt -- 2026-08-29: San Francisco Giants transferred LF Casey Schmitt from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Left knee meniscus tear.

Sam Hentges -- 2026-08-27: San Francisco Giants placed LHP Sam Hentges on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 27, 2026. Left forearm strain.

Adrian Houser -- 2026-09-01: San Francisco Giants transferred RHP Adrian Houser from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Right forearm strain.

Keaton Winn -- 2026-09-03: San Francisco Giants transferred RHP Keaton Winn from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Right elbow neuritis.

Jesus Rodriguez -- 2026-09-04: San Francisco Giants placed C Jesus Rodriguez on the 60-day injured list. Right elbow neuritis.

For the Cardinals, the infield picture is shaped by two active absences: Blaze Jordan (left ankle sprain) and JJ Wetherholt (right wrist tendinitis) are both on the 10-day injured list, pulling a third baseman and a second baseman from the available pool. Peter Strzelecki, out since August 26 with right forearm extensor inflammation, remains unavailable as a pitcher. Andre Pallante, activated September 4, returns to the rotation and is available tonight.

San Francisco carries a heavier list into this series. Carson Whisenhunt (left elbow sprain) and Keaton Winn (right elbow neuritis) have both been transferred to the 60-day injured list, removing two pitchers for the remainder of the season. Adrian Houser followed the same path with a right forearm strain, also now on the 60-day. Sam Hentges (left forearm strain) and Jesus Rodriguez (right elbow neuritis) add two more arms and a catcher to the Giants' unavailable column. Casey Schmitt, on the 60-day with a left knee meniscus tear, is out as well. The cumulative depth hit to San Francisco's pitching staff is the most consequential roster factor entering tonight's game.

2A: BVP -- CARDINALS BATTERS VS OPPONENT STARTER

Small sample: Jordan Walker (2 PA), Alec Burleson (3 PA), Iván Herrera (2 PA).

All three career BvP rows carry samples too small to treat as signal -- Jordan Walker at 2 PA, Alec Burleson at 3 PA, and Iván Herrera at 2 PA. No batter meets both danger thresholds (AVG ≥ .400 and PA ≥ 10). The remaining six lineup starters -- Bryan Torres, Leo Bernal, Nolan Gorman, Joshua Báez, Thomas Saggese, and Nathan Church -- have never faced Landen Roupp in the majors; tonight is a blind matchup for that group, and his 2026 platoon work against left-handed and right-handed batters is the most relevant context for them.

No significant bench BvP history.

2B: BVP -- OPPONENT BATTERS VS CARDINALS STARTER

No data available for this section.

No San Francisco Giants batter in tonight's lineup has career plate appearances against Quinn Mathews on file; the BvP slate is blank heading into this start.

2C: PLATOON SPLITS -- CARDINALS

2026 companion columns: sample floor is 60 PA vs RHP (below floor renders SSS in the table above). Above that floor the 2026 vs-hand figure leads the read, with 2025 as the historical anchor; below it, 2025 leads.

Landen Roupp is stronger against left-handed batters this season, holding them to a .640 OPS against compared with .677 against right-handed batters. That means the Cardinals' four left-handed bats -- Bryan Torres, Alec Burleson, Nolan Gorman, and Nathan Church -- step into the tougher side of his split tonight. The contrast inside that group is wide. Burleson's 2026 line vs. right-handers reads .937 OPS across 422 PA, the sharpest figure in the lineup. Gorman sits at a .604 OPS across 228 PA vs. right-handers this season; Church is at .670 OPS across 322 PA. Torres's 2026 sample against right-handed pitching is too small to compare reliably (29 plate appearances).

The four right-handed bats -- Ivan Herrera, Jordan Walker, Joshua Baez, and Thomas Saggese -- land on Roupp's relatively weaker side (.677 OPS allowed). Walker is the standout there: his 2026 line vs. right-handers reads .805 OPS across 444 PA, and Walker is stronger against left-handed pitching this season (.915 OPS vs. .805), so tonight's matchup puts him on the less favorable side of his own split. Herrera's 2026 mark vs. right-handers is .733 OPS across 444 PA; he too is stronger against left-handers this season (.791 OPS vs. .733). Saggese has logged 79 PA against right-handers in 2026, below the 60-PA floor for reliable split rates -- his 2025 line vs. right-handers was .254/.305/.340 across 227 PA. Baez's 2026 sample against right-handed pitching is too small to compare reliably (51 plate appearances). Leo Bernal bats switch and his 2026 samples against both hands are too small to compare (8 vs. left-handers, 24 vs. right-handers).

Roupp is also stronger at home this season, allowing a .607 OPS at Oracle Park compared with .694 on the road. The Cardinals arrive as visitors tonight, so they face both his favorable hand split and his favorable venue.

2C: PLATOON SPLITS -- OPPONENT

2026 companion columns: sample floor is 60 PA vs LHP (below floor renders SSS in the table above). Above that floor the 2026 vs-hand figure leads the read, with 2025 as the historical anchor; below it, 2025 leads.

Quinn Mathews is left-handed, and four of San Francisco's nine starters bat from the left side -- Turner Hill, Rafael Devers, Bryce Eldridge, and Jung Hoo Lee. The left-handed bats carry split histories that point in different directions against him.

Devers is the headline case. His 2026 line against left-handed pitching across 212 plate appearances reads .180/.325/.415, good for a .570 OPS -- a figure well below his .864 overall OPS this season, which ranks 9th of 164 NL hitters with at least 200 plate appearances. Devers is stronger against right-handed pitching this season: 1.023 OPS, compared with .570 OPS against left-handed pitching.

Eldridge cuts the other way. His 2026 mark against left-handers reads .297 AVG and an .866 OPS across 124 plate appearances -- an excellent figure, 30th of 164 NL hitters with at least 200 plate appearances in overall OPS at .810. Eldridge is stronger against left-handed pitching this season: .866 OPS, compared with .784 OPS against right-handed pitching.

Lee's 2026 line against left-handed pitching carries a .647 OPS; he is stronger against right-handed pitching this season (.765 OPS, compared with .647 OPS against left-handed pitching). Hill's 2026 sample against left-handed pitching is 14 plate appearances, too small to report split rates reliably.

Among the right-handed bats, Koss, Knizner, Whitcomb, Cox, and Basabe all carry 2026 samples against left-handed pitching below 60 plate appearances, so no 2026 vs-LHP rate is reported for any of them. Their 2025 lines in the table above reflect small samples as well -- Koss at 47 plate appearances, Knizner at 25, Whitcomb at 10 -- and none establishes a reliable baseline against southpaws. Cox and Basabe have no 2025 vs-LHP rows in this table.

2D: PITCHER PLATOON SPLITS

Landen Roupp enters having allowed a .640 OPS against left-handed batters across 370 batters faced in 2026, compared with a .677 OPS against right-handed batters across 244 batters faced -- his stronger side is against left-handers. Four left-handed bats (Torres, Burleson, Gorman, Church) and four right-handed bats (Herrera, Walker, Báez, Saggese) make up the Cardinals' projected lineup against him, with Bernal switch-hitting fifth. The four left-handed hitters land on Roupp's stronger split; the four right-handed bats face his .677 OPS-allowed side.

Quinn Mathews's 2026 sample against left-handed batters is 20 batters faced -- too small to report split rates reliably. Against right-handed batters, where his 92 batters faced clears the reporting floor, he has allowed a .295/.380/.385 line, a .765 OPS, ranking 154th of 227 NL pitchers with at least 60 batters faced against right-handers. The Giants send four left-handed bats (Hill, Devers, Eldridge, Lee) and five right-handed bats (Cox, Basabe, Knizner, Whitcomb, Koss) against the left-hander; the five right-handed hitters face his larger and weaker 2026 split, while the four left-handed bats come up against a sample too small to characterize.

2D-HA: PITCHER HOME/AWAY SPLITS

Landen Roupp takes the mound at home tonight. His 2026 home ERA of 4.04 ranks 106th of 185 NL pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched at home, and his 2026 away ERA of 4.28 ranks 104th of 176 NL pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched on the road. The gap is clearer in OPS allowed: .607 at home compared with .694 on the road this season. His 2025 home baseline deepens that picture -- a 2.25 ERA across 48.0 innings at home against a 3.84 ERA in 58.2 road innings. Quinn Mathews starts away from home tonight, but his 2026 home and away samples (23 and 89 batters faced) are too small to compare this season.

2E: TTO SPLITS (TIMES THROUGH ORDER)

Landen Roupp has pitched into a third pass in 25 of 27 starts. In the 25 starts he pitched into a third pass, hitters posted a .651 OPS on the second pass -- 225 PA. From the third pass on in those same starts: .746 OPS -- 128 PA. Early hooks: 2 starts, 18 PA. Per-pass rate stats resting on fewer than 50 PA render as their PA count, never as a decimal; 2026 companion columns carry their own 60 BF floor (below floor renders SSS).

Landen Roupp has pitched into a third pass in 25 of 27 starts. In those 25 starts, hitters posted a .651 OPS against him on the second pass across 225 PA; from the third pass on in those same starts, the figure rises to .746 OPS across 128 PA. The step from second to third pass is where he becomes more hittable, though the gap reflects a consistent pattern across a deep sample.

Quinn Mathews has pitched into a third pass in 4 of 5 starts this season. His 2026 sample is too small to report conditional per-pass rates -- 36 PA in the second pass of third-pass starts, 22 PA in the third pass -- so the order of his vulnerability within the cycle carries no reliable split to cite yet.

2F: INHERITED RUNNERS PROFILE

2025's league average strand rate was 68.8%. Kyle Leahy's 62.1% strand rate sits below that mark across 29 inherited runners, with 11 scoring. Gordon Graceffo has stranded just 54.5% of his 11 inherited runners, the lowest figure in this group. Riley O'Brien leads the four at 70.0% across 10 inherited runners. Michael McGreevy has stranded all 3 of his inherited runners this season, though his sample of 3 is the smallest here. Each reliever's IP, ERA, and WHIP columns reflect 2026 form.

Hitter Batted Ball Results (2025) -- SF

Sample floor is 50 balls in play (PROVISIONAL): below floor renders "--" in the table above -- cite the raw BIP/AB count instead of the rate.

Landen Roupp's 2025 contact profile across 315 balls in play leaned toward ground balls at 46.0%, with fly balls at 27.3% and line drives at 25.4%. Against a ground-ball-oriented starter, Rafael Devers's 2025 batted-ball results are the sharpest signal in the San Francisco Giants lineup: his line-drive average of .678 across 90 at-bats last season stands as the contact shape Roupp would most want to suppress, while Devers hit .222 on ground balls and .155 on fly balls across samples large enough to report. The ground-ball profile of Roupp's approach aligns reasonably with Devers's weaker fly-ball results, but a line drive off Devers has historically meant a hit at a very high rate. Christian Koss posted a .250 average on ground balls across 64 at-bats in 2025, the only other hitter in the San Francisco Giants lineup with a publishable batted-ball rate tonight; the remaining starters -- Bryce Eldridge, Andrew Knizner, and Shay Whitcomb -- each bring samples too small to report split averages by contact type.

2H: BATTERY PAIRING

No data available for this section.

The 2025 battery pairing table carries no data for Quinn Mathews, who enters tonight with no prior recorded pairing with any catcher. Iván Herrera is the Cardinals' scheduled catcher tonight, slotting second in the order; Leo Bernal also appears in the lineup at catcher, batting fifth. Both are on the active roster. Neither has a pairing entry with Mathews on file, making this a fresh battery by any measure. With Mathews working through just five starts in 2026 -- 24.2 innings total -- the pairing has had little time to develop a shared record regardless of season.

2I: BASERUNNING MATCHUP

On the San Francisco side, Christian Koss leads the active runners with 2 stolen bases against 0 caught stealing in 2026, a 2-for-2 mark too small for a published rate (fewer than 10 attempts). Osleivis Basabe has gone 2-for-4 (2 SB, 2 CS) this season, likewise below the rate-reporting floor. Bryce Eldridge has one steal with no caught stealings in 2026. In 2025, Koss went 4 SB, 1 CS and Rafael Devers 1 SB, 1 CS -- neither sample reached 10 attempts, so no 2025 rate is published for either.

Leo Bernal, listed in tonight's lineup alongside scheduled catcher Iván Herrera, has allowed 6 stolen base attempts this season (6 SB allowed, 0 CS across 6 attempts) -- too small a sample for a published caught-stealing rate. The Cardinals' primary receiver, Pedro Pagés, carries a 30.9 CS% on 55 attempts (38 SB allowed, 17 CS) in 2026 and offers a rate-backed contrast if he enters.

Calling the game for San Francisco is Andrew Knizner, who has seen 8 stolen base attempts this season (7 SB allowed, 1 CS) -- too small a sample for a published caught-stealing rate. The Giants' primary receiver, Drew Cavanaugh, posts a 21.4 CS% on 42 attempts (33 SB allowed, 9 CS) in 2026; Koss and Eldridge face Knizner's unpublished arm tonight.

2J: DEFENSIVE CONTEXT

Jordan Walker starts in right field tonight carrying a 2025 fielding line of 108 games, 4 errors, and a .981 fielding percentage at that position. Nolan Gorman draws third base tonight; his 2025 primary work there covered 54 games with 6 errors and a .950 fielding percentage, and he logged 28 additional games at second base at .990. Alec Burleson takes first base tonight; his 2025 work at first base ran 50 games with 4 errors and a .990 fielding percentage, and he has 41 games in left field at 1.000 and 34 games in right field at .983 on file as well. Thomas Saggese plays shortstop tonight; his 2025 shortstop sample covers 33 games with 1 error and a .988 fielding percentage, alongside 35 games at second base at .973. Nathan Church is in center field tonight with a clean 2025 line there -- 18 games, 0 errors, 1.000 fielding percentage. Iván Herrera catches; his 2025 catching sample runs 14 games, 1 error, and a .989 fielding percentage. Joshua Báez starts in left field tonight; he has no 2025 fielding record in the table, so no fielding figures apply to his start there. Bryan Torres starts at second base tonight; he carries no 2025 fielding record in the table, so no fielding figures apply to his start there. Leo Bernal also appears in the lineup at catcher; he has no 2025 fielding record in the table, so no fielding figures apply to his start tonight.

2K: BALLPARK CONTEXT & HEAD-TO-HEAD

Over the 2022-2025 stretch, the Cardinals went 4-2 against the Giants in 2025 and 5-1 in 2024, but 1-6 in 2023 and 4-3 in 2022. San Francisco leads this series 1-0 with two games remaining at Oracle Park.

2L: BATTER K%/BB% PROFILE

Cardinals

Alec Burleson and Iván Herrera are the Cardinals' steadiest contact hitters against Landen Roupp tonight. Burleson strikes out less often than the league average — his 2026 K% of 17.2% sits below the 22.1% league mark — and his 2025 K% of 14.5% across 544 PA reinforces that profile. Herrera's 2026 K% of 18.3% also falls below the 22.1% league average, and he pairs that with a 2026 BB% of 10.8% across 646 PA. Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker carry the lineup's heaviest strikeout exposure: Gorman at 32.2% in 2026 (33.8% across 402 PA in 2025), Walker at 25.4% in 2026 (31.8% across 396 PA in 2025). Thomas Saggese's 2026 K% of 27.4% holds near his 2025 mark of 28.1%; Nathan Church's 2026 K% of 18.0% represents a sharp improvement from his 2025 figure of 27.7% across 65 PA, though the 2025 sample was small.

Giants

Rafael Devers draws the most walks in the Giants' lineup: a 2026 BB% of 11.0% across 620 PA, after 15.4% across 729 PA in 2025. His 2026 K% of 25.5% runs above the 22.1% league average. Bryce Eldridge strikes out more often than the league average — 26.2% in 2026 across 412 PA — and pairs that with a 2026 BB% of 13.1%. Shay Whitcomb's 2026 K% of 32.4% across 71 PA stands out as the lineup's highest, alongside a 2026 BB% of 4.2%. Christian Koss's 2026 BB% of 4.3% across 161 PA is notably low against the 8.9% league average. Andrew Knizner's 2026 PA of 41 are too few to report split rates reliably; his 2025 K% of 11.4% across 88 PA was well below the league average that year.

2M: BATTER BATTED BALL PROFILE

Cardinals

Landen Roupp generated ground balls on 46% of balls in play against him in 2025, and his 2026 ground-ball rate of 57.2% is above the league average of 47.0%. The Cardinals send three heavy ground-ball hitters into that tendency: Iván Herrera at 52.6% GB and Jordan Walker at 48.9% GB lead the way, with Alec Burleson at 42.0% and Thomas Saggese at 41.8% in the middle range. Nolan Gorman is the outlier -- his 30.2% GB rate is the lowest in the group, paired with a 41.7% FB rate that stands apart from the rest of the lineup. Nathan Church's 37 balls in play fall below the floor for published rates.

Giants

Sample floor is 50 balls in play (PROVISIONAL): below floor renders "--" in the table above -- cite the raw BIP/AB count instead of the rate.

Quinn Mathews's 2026 ground-ball rate of 41.7% is below the league average of 47.0%. The Giants' top-of-order bats offer a mixed contact shape against him. Rafael Devers, who ranks 9th of 164 NL hitters with at least 200 plate appearances in OPS (.864; league average .730), shows a 47.4% GB rate across 380 balls in play -- he is stronger against right-handed pitching this season, 1.023 OPS compared with .570 OPS against left-handed pitching. Christian Koss has a 51.6% GB rate across 124 BIP, and Andrew Knizner sits at 47.0% GB across 66 BIP. Shay Whitcomb's 21 balls in play and Bryce Eldridge's 15 balls in play fall below the floor for published rates; Eldridge, who strikes out more often than the league average (26.2% against 22.1%), is stronger against left-handed pitching this season (.866 OPS compared with .784 OPS against right-handed pitching).

2N: PITCHER K%/BB% PROFILE

The table above shows Landen Roupp's 2025 season line; his 2026 figures differ. Quinn Mathews has no 2025 row on file -- his 2026 season totals through five starts: 24 strikeouts and 12 walks over 24.2 innings.

Roupp in 2026: his strikeout rate of 22.3% is average among NL pitchers with at least 60 innings (49th of 110; league average 22.2%). His walk rate of 11.1% is poor by the same group (101st of 110; league average 8.1%). Mathews's 2026 strikeout rate of 21.4% is below the league average of 22.1%, and his walk rate of 10.7% is above the league average of 8.9%.

KEY MATCHUPS

Roupp platoon vs. STL lefties. Landen Roupp is stronger against left-handed batters this season: .640 OPS allowed across 370 batters faced, compared with .677 OPS allowed against right-handed batters across 244 batters faced. All four of St. Louis's left-handed bats -- Bryan Torres, Alec Burleson, Nolan Gorman, and Nathan Church -- land on his stronger split tonight.

Roupp at Oracle Park. Roupp is stronger at home this season: .607 OPS allowed across 274 batters faced, compared with .694 OPS allowed on the road across 340 batters faced. Tonight at Oracle Park, the Cardinals face his home-field version, which has been the sharper of the two.

Mathews profile vs. SF lineup. Quinn Mathews carries a 4.38 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 24.2 innings in five starts this season. His 2026 walk rate is above the league average: 10.7% compared with 8.9% league-wide. His sample against left-handed batters is only 20 batters faced this season -- too small to carry split rates reliably.

Roupp third-pass vulnerability. Roupp has pitched into a third pass in 25 of 27 starts this season. His third pass is his weakest this season: batters have posted .746 OPS against him across 128 third-pass plate appearances in those starts, after .605 OPS allowed in the first pass and .657 in the second.

WATCHLIST

-- Quinn Mathews second-pass decision point. If Mathews enters the second time through San Francisco's order, batters have posted .993 OPS against him across 44 second-pass plate appearances this season -- and Mathews has pitched into a third pass in 4 of 5 starts this season; in those 4 starts, the second pass went .500 OBP and .531 SLG against him, the subset where he was sharp enough to continue, making that inning the clearest trigger for Oliver Marmol. Watch whether Marmol lets the frame play out or goes early to the bullpen when the top of San Francisco's order comes around again.

-- Riley O'Brien in a save situation. If O'Brien enters with a lead in a late inning, his 2025 inherited-runner strand rate of 70% across 10 runners in 8 entries gives context on his record holding leads with men already on -- a relevant frame if Mathews hands him a narrow advantage and a runner. The trend section details a recent blown-save pattern worth tracking alongside that figure.

-- Roupp ground-ball / Ivan Herrera double-play risk. If the Cardinals put runners on early against Landen Roupp, watch for ground-ball double plays: Roupp's 57.2% ground-ball rate ranks 13th of 110 NL pitchers with at least 60 innings, well above the league's 47.0%, and Ivan Herrera -- batting second with a 52.6% ground-ball rate across 285 balls in play in 2025 -- is the Cardinals' highest-risk early-order sequence-killer in this matchup.

-- Nolan Gorman vs. Roupp. If Nolan Gorman bats against Roupp with runners on, watch for a pivotal sequence: his 2026 line vs. right-handed pitching reads .188/.272/.332 across 228 plate appearances, down from .201/.294/.349 across 309 plate appearances last season, and Roupp's left-handed-batter-favoring split means the right-on-left matchup does not soften the at-bat for Gorman. A strikeout rate of 32.2% this season against 22.1% league-wide adds another layer to the at-bat.
