SAN DIEGO -- Dinelson Lamet threw 101 pitches Wednesday night, the fifth time in a nine-start run of dominance in which he reached triple digits. But one cost him in an outing where most of the other 100 were excellent.
Stephen Piscotty's seventh-inning homer sacked Lamet with the only two runs the Padres rookie allowed in a 3-1 loss to the Cardinals at Petco Park. The pitch before, Lamet left a slider in the strike zone to Jose Martinez, who shot it into center for the Cardinals' second hit and first since the opening frame.
