(San Francisco, CA)  --  Alex Dickerson homered as the Giants lost to the Cardinals 5-3 at home.  Dickerson came in as a pinch hitter in the eighth, mashing a solo shot for his 8th home run of the year.  Kevin Gausman was handed his third loss, despite giving up only three hits and striking out eight.  He allowed two runs over seven frames for San Francisco.  The Giants' three-game winning streak was snapped, but they remain a half-game ahead of the Dodgers for first in the NL West.  San Francisco continues the series tonight.
