Cardinals Power Past Padres 11-2

The Cards will trot out Michael Wacha for the middle game of the three-game set, and the Padres have not officially announced who their starter will be for Saturday's game after placing Robbie Erlin on the Disabled List yesterday. And for the better part of the 21st century, the Padres pitching -both starters and bullpen - has been consistently better than their lineup, keeping their totals deflated. Leake allowed three runs in six innings in his lone start against the Padres past year. Jay, though, is batting.310 while hitting safely in nine of his first 10 home games for San Diego. The Cardinals are coming off of a tough series against the Cubs, but were able to salvage the finale of the three game set with a strong effort from the battery of Yadier Molina (2 for 3, 2B) and Carlos Martinez (7 IP, 1 R, 5K).

The Cardinals took early 2-0 and 3-2 leads against the Padres, who twice battled back to tie the game before taking the lead with two runs in the bottom of the unusual fifth.

Rea has faced the Redbirds just once before, last August. Kemp scored on a sacrifice fly to center by shortstop Alexei Ramirez after Wacha intentionally walked catcher Derek Norris to load the bases with one out to give the Padres a short-lived 2-1 lead. With a 9-run lead in the 9th, Matt Bowman gave up just one hit before shutting down the San Diego Padres for good.

He said the home run pitch was "just a changeup, a little up". The Padres sending Gyorko to St. Louis and acquiring Jon Jay of the Cardinals in the trade. Kevin Quackenbush allowed consecutive homers to Gyorko and Diaz in the sixth to tie it, and Brandon Maurer (0-1) gave up three runs in the eighth, including Matt Carpenter's go-ahead, RBI triple with one out and Grichuk's two-run double with two outs.

The final three innings each had their own Cardinals pitcher. Rookie right-hander Colin Rea is tasked with starting against Mike Matheny's Sunday Squad, while Mike Leake will be the first on the hill for the Cardinals. Hazelbaker, who was hitless in his 17 previous at-bats, drove a 1-2 pitch from Villanueva 421 feet to right-center to snap a 2-2 tie and cap a four-run inning against the Padres bullpen. He's 1-2 with a 3.31 ERA, 21 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 35.1 innings.

Padres: LHP Drew Pomeranz (2-1, 2.04) is scheduled to start Monday night in the opener of a three-game series at San Francisco, which will counter with LHP Madison Bumgarner (1-2, 3.91).
