It's officially over, San Francisco Giants fans.

The St. Louis Cardinals put together a ninth-inning rally off Giants reliever Ryan Walker - the team's closer no less - and earned a 9-8 victory on Tuesday night at Oracle Park. Any National League postseason hopes for Giants manager Bob Melvin and his players came to a screeching halt.

For the past few weeks, the Giants have done their best to remain in contention for a possible Wild Card spot. The Giants had an 8-3 lead entering the seventh inning, but St. Louis' Iván Herrera slammed a three-run home run and Nolan Arenado added a solo shot. That made it 8-7 San Francisco and put its lead in a tough spot.

Victor Scott led off the top of the ninth inning with a single and scored on teammate Brendan Donovan's fourth double on Tuesday night. That made it 8-8, setting the table for Alec Burleson's go-ahead RBI single off Walker with one out in the ninth.

For the Giants, Heliot Ramos hit a home run in the sixth inning. Patrick Bailey also had an RBI double for the Giants, according to The Associated Press.

San Francisco was down early 3-0 after Giants starter Logan Webb gave up three first-inning runs. Webb worked six innings, giving up eight hits while striking out five. The Giants rallied with a four-run third inning paced by Jung Hoo Lee and Willy Adames hitting RBI singles. Matt Chapman put San Francisco up 4-3 on a sacrifice fly.

Christian Koss tossed in an RBI single for the Giants on the night, too. 

This three-game series between the Cardinals and Giants wraps up on Wednesday. St. Louis, which actually is still in the postseason hunt, will have ace starter Sonny Gray on the mound against the Giants' Robbie Ray.

San Francisco is now 77-81 for the season and will now put their efforts toward not finishing at or below .500 this season. 

The Giants made a push at the MLB Trade Deadline to boost their lineup with acquiring Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox. Despite Devers being in the lineup, San Francisco just was not able to put it together and reel off a number of victories.

Melvin can spend the rest of this 2025 MLB season either putting out his regular everyday lineup for look to give some younger players some real-game experience.

After all is said and done, the Giants' front office might face some stiff questions from reporters and their fans in the coming days.
