The Giants have been struggling this season, entering this matchup with a 36-39 record. However, the team will be playing with some extra motivation due to Mays’ death that occurred just two days ago.

The Giants have been able to play well offensively in recent games, but they have struggled with their pitching. The team has allowed four or more runs in each of their last six games, making it difficult to consistently win.

San Francisco’s starting pitcher at Rickwood Field tonight will be Keaton Winn, who currently possesses a 6.66 ERA and 3-7 record. That terrible start to the season must turn around this evening for the Giants to win the historic game.

The Cardinals enter this matchup with a 36-37 record, which is good enough to be second place in the National League Central. Since the team is still competing for first place in the division, winning this game is imperative for St. Louis tonight.

The Cardinals have been led by 22-year-old shortstop Masyn Winn, who boasts an incredible .293 batting average. The second-year player has been helped offensively by power hitter Nolan Gorman, who leads the team with 16 home runs and 34 RBI.
