Michael Conforto went 4-for-6 with three RBIs as the visiting San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 11-3 on Tuesday.

Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer and Patrick Bailey added a solo homer for the Giants, who won for the sixth time in eight games.

Giants starter Alex Cobb allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out five. Reliever Luke Jackson (1-0) earned the victory by striking out three in one scoreless inning, and Keaton Winn earned a four-inning save in his major league debut.

Jack Flaherty (3-5) allowed six runs on 10 hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings for the Cardinals, who lost for the 11th time in 14 games.

The Giants seized a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Thairo Estrada walked, Joc Pederson hit a single and Conforto smacked a two-run double.

The Cardinals tied the game in their half of the inning. Brendan Donovan hit a double, Paul Goldschmidt hit an RBI single, Nolan Gorman walked, Nolan Arenado hit a single and Dylan Carlson grounded into a run-scoring forceout.
