Hosmer's 13th-inning double lifts Padres to 2-1 win vs Cards

SAN DIEGO -- After more than four hours and another double-digit strikeout performance by the San Diego Padres, Eric Hosmer was ready to call it a night.

Hosmer hit an RBI double down the right-field line on the first pitch from Mike Mayers with no outs in the 13th inning to give the San Diego Padres a 2-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.

A few steps out of the batter's box, Hosmer, San Diego's $144 million man, tossed aside his batting helmet aside in celebration.
