Game 2 of a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and St.Louis Cardinals will take place at Oracle Park. The St.Louis Cardinals open the series with a win. How will this encounter end?

The San Francisco Giants will look to do better in this game following a defeat in the opener of this series. In that game, the San Francisco Giants scored three runs and conceded six, their second consecutive defeat, having lost their finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the meantime, the San Francisco Giants secured five consecutive matches prior to those defeats. This season in the National League, the San Francisco Giants have a 79-81 record, leaving them seated 10th in the standings. 

The St.Louis Cardinals opened this series with a three-run win in a 3-6 encounter and will look to keep things running. However, the St.Louis Cardinals have won five of their last six matches, their lone defeat coming against the Colorado Rockies. Heading into this game 2, St.Louis Cardinals have won their last three series. The St.Louis Cardinals have an 82-78 record this season in the National League, leaving them seated in the 9th spot. 

The San Francisco Giants should be able to win this game after a number of poor performances against the St.Louis Cardinals. In their last matches, the San Francisco Giants lost four consecutive matches, and while they are at home in this one, they should be able to turn the tables and win. Also, looking at how the two teams' offensive performance in game one, I expect this game to end with many runs.
