David Morgan worked a scoreless eighth inning despite allowing a walk to leadoff batter Yohel Pozo. He later advanced to second on a wild pitch, but was stranded there when Morgan struck out the next three batters he faced. The three strikeouts for Morgan were part of 16 total strikeouts for Padres pitchers in the game.

Dylan Cease allowed one hit over five innings, Jake Cronenworth and Ramon Laureano homered and the San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-3.
