Padres 3, Cardinals 1
SAN DIEGO — Chase Headley doubled in the go-ahead run in the eighth and Mat Latos pitched eight strong innings to help the Padres end a season-worst five-game skid. It was tied at 1 in the eighth when former Ray Jason Bartlett reached on a two-out infield single, his third hit. Headley followed with his double, and he later scored on Ryan Ludwick's infield single off Chris Carpenter. The Cardinals had won four in a row. San Diego had more than two runs for the first time in nine games.
