The homer by the 20-year-old rookie -- whose
father, Fernando Tatis, played three seasons for the Cardinals
-- followed a tiebreaking sacrifice fly by Franchy Cordero.
Manny Machado and Franmil Reyes opened the rally by drawing
back-to-back walks from Alex Reyes (0-1), and both advanced on a
wild pitch. After Wil Myers grounded out, Machado scored on
Cordero's fly to center fielder Harrison Bader. Tatis followed
with a homer to left.
An inning earlier, pinch hitter Hunter Renfroe also hit a
two-run homer to left off St. Louis reliever Dominic Leone to
give the Padres a 2-1 lead. Cordero's leadoff walk preceded
Renfroe's third homer in a span of nine at-bats.
Paul DeJong's solo homer with one out in the fourth was the only
hit off Padres rookie starter Nick Margevicius, who was involved
in an unusual pitching duel with Cardinals right-hander Jack
Flaherty.
Margevicius allowed the one run and one walk while striking out
one over five innings. Flaherty stranded Padres at third in four
consecutive innings over five shutout innings. He allowed six
hits and two walks with six strikeouts.
The Cardinals tied the game in the bottom of the sixth
immediately after Renfroe's homer. Matt Carpenter had a one-out
double fall between Padres outfielders in right-center, and he
scored on Marcell Ozuna's two-out single to right off Robert
Stock.
Paul Goldschmidt hit his fifth homer in seven games as a
Cardinal in the eighth off right-hander Trey Wingenter to narrow
the Padres' lead to 5-3.
Stock (1-0) got credit for the win despite allowing one run in
one inning. Kirby Yates picked up his fourth save after throwing
a scoreless ninth. Five San Diego pitchers held the Cardinals to
four hits and six baserunners.
