The St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants begin a three-game series in San Francisco on Monday night as part of the Cardinals’ west coast trip. The game is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Central time. The Cardinals start Michael McGreevy, while the Giants counter with Logan Webb.

Ahead of the series, outlets note the Cardinals have 18 regular-season games remaining, with roughly a third of them against the Giants. The first three matchups of that stretch are played in San Francisco, setting the stage for multiple games against the same opponent in a short span. Yahoo Sports also points to pitching matchups listed by MLB.com, outlining the planned starters for the opening game.

Across the sources, the common focus is the series beginning Monday night, the confirmation of the opening starters, and the broader regular-season context for St. Louis as it plays a significant portion of its final games against San Francisco.
