Nolan Arenado may not be on the Rockies but he's still a Giants-killer. He broke up Kevin Gausman's no-hitter in the 7th and scored on Matt Carpenter's triple to spoil the shutout as well. Gausman allowed only three hits in seven frames and struck out eight, but gave up two runs and came out on the wrong end of the duel with St. Louis starter Kwang-hyun Kim. The Giants failed to score against Kim, mustering only three hits and pounding out twelve ground balls in his seven innings. The Cardinals bullpen faltered and gave up three runs in the 8th and 9th, but the Giants bullpen beat them to it and also gave up three runs in the 8th and 9th. The Giants got a great start from their ace but could not solve the veteran Korean lefty. Kim has over 1600 innings of KBO time with the SK Wyverns. He was their league MVP in 2008 and is among their all-time top ten in wins and strikeouts.
Johnny Cueto, that old vet, takes on another old vet, Adam Wainwright, tomorrow night at 6:45 PT.
Go Giants!
