Arenado finished with three hits, while Brendan Donovan added a
pair of singles as the Cardinals won for the ninth time in 12
games.
The Padres' offensive woes continued with just 19 runs in their
last eight contests (2.4 per game) and lost six of those.
Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson (4-2) worked a
season-high seven innings while allowing one run on four hits
and a walk with three strikeouts. Nick Wittgren got the final
out to earn his first save.
Juan Yepez drove in two runs for the Cardinals with a sacrifice
fly and a double. Paul Goldschmidt added a single, two walks and
two runs as he extended his on-base streak to 37 games and his
hitting streak to 23.
Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (4-3) allowed five runs on
seven hits in 7 2/3 innings.
San Diego's Jurickson Profar led off the game with a double and
scored on Manny Machado's single to put the Padres up 1-0. Luke
Voit walked to put two aboard with one out, but Cardinals center
fielder Harrison Bader ended the rally with a diving catch of
Ha-Seong Kim's shallow fly ball.
The Cardinals tied the game 1-1 in the fourth inning.
Goldschmidt walked, raced to third on Arenado's single before
scoring on Yepez's sacrifice fly.
In the sixth inning, the Cardinals pushed to a 3-1 lead on
Goldschmidt's single and Arenado's home run, his 10th.
Hudson settled into a groove after escaping the first inning. He
retired 18 consecutive batters until Jake Cronenworth hit a
seventh-inning single. Austin Nola hit a two-out single to put
runners on the corners, but Hudson struck out Trent Grisham to
end the threat.
The Cardinals pushed their lead to 5-1 on the eighth on
Arenado's RBI single and Yepez's run-scoring double.
Voit's ninth-inning home run, his fourth, off reliever Kodi
Whitley in the ninth cut the Padres' deficit to 5-2. San Diego
then loaded the bases against Whitley, but Robinson Cano flied
out against Wittgren to end the game.
