For the second straight game, the Padres were unable to get much of anything going against the Cardinals’ starting pitcher (Michael Wacha) but brought the lumber as soon as the bullpen door opened up, leading to their second series victory of the young season. They’ll go for the sweep in St. Louis tomorrow.
John Gant gave up a home run to Eric Hosmer in his 1.1 innings of work, and Andrew Miller (!) gave up a couple of 2-run home runs to Austin Hedges and Manny Machado before getting pulled in the 8th.
