The Padres figured out Cardinals starter Mike Leake the second time through the batting order, as Matt Kemp homered to center field in the fourth to give San Diego a 1-0 lead on Monday night at Busch Stadium.
Leake had allowed just one hit to the first 11 batters he faced and struck six of them. Kemp's shot, his 19th of the season, just cleared the wall in center. Yangervis Solarte followed that up with a double into the right-field corner. He then got two more outs, another on a strikeout (his seventh), to get out of the inning.
