Cardinals Capture Close Win
San Diego catcher Jorge Gordon was sensational. He went 3-4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. St. Louis beat the Padres, 5-4. St. Louis is now 52-61. San Diego is 54-58.

St. Louis used a clutch at-bat from Raúl Gómez to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Gómez.
