Pallante throws 7 strong innings as Cardinals beat Padres 3-2
ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Andre Pallante threw seven strong innings, Blaze Jordan hit
an RBI double and Nathan Church added an RBI single as the St. Louis Cardinals
beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Pallante (8-4) struck out six while giving up two runs on four hits, and Riley
O'Brien earned his 18th save.
Lars Nootbaar opened the second inning with a walk before he scored on Jordan's
first double of the season. Church singled and Jordan gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead.
Nootbaar capped the Cardinal's scoring with a sacrifice fly to center field in
the fifth to put the Cardinals up 3-1.
JJ Wetherholt finished 3 for 4 with a walk for St. Louis --- tying a
season-high in hits for the fourth time this season. Wetherholt became the
second rookie this season with 65+ hits and 10+ home runs.
Michael King (4-6) took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits in 4
1/3 innings.
Ty France hit an RBI single in the fifth that scored a run before being thrown
out at second while trying to leg out a double. Jackson Merrill had a one-run
double in the sixth that scored Fernando Tatis Jr. but that was it for the
Padres to cap a four-hit night.
The Cardinals became the fifth National League team to reach 40 wins this
season.
