Between Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge, the Giants might just have the makings of their next great power-hitting duo. The pair continued to feed off each other on Monday night, combining to go 4-for-7 with four RBIs before Shay Whitcomb delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning to help the Giants edge the Cardinals, 5-4, at Oracle Park. “We showed the fight that we’ve got,” Eldridge said. “We’ve been fighting all year, and people have counted us out. We’ve had some tough games. We’ve had some ups and downs, but we’re in the middle of September now, and the will to win tonight was pretty strong. I think you could sense that from everyone in the dugout.”   The Giants took a 3-2 lead into the top of the ninth, but the Cardinals came back to tie the game against right-hander Dylan Smith, who needed only 11 pitches to get through a scoreless eighth but ultimately fell short of converting a six-out save. Smith allowed St. Louis to load the bases on a pair of singles and a walk in the ninth, setting the stage for pinch-hitter José Fermín’s game-tying sacrifice fly to left field.  The Giants also loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Cardinals reliever Ryne Stanek coaxed a flyout from Turner Hill to send the game to extra innings.   St. Louis took a 4-3 lead on Leo Bernal’s run-scoring bloop single off Jason Foley in the top of the 10th before the Giants pulled even in the bottom half of the inning. Riley O’Brien intentionally walked the red-hot Devers to bring up Eldridge, who made the Cardinals pay by lining a single to center field to score Hill -- the automatic runner -- from second.  “I knew \[Devers\
